Sigma 16-28mm f/2.8 DG DN Contemporary Lens - Leica L Mount
With its excellent field curvature correction, theĀ SigmaĀ 16-28mm F2.8 DG DN | ContemporaryĀ is able toĀ achieve exceptional edge-to-edge sharpness, which is essential for most wide-angle applications. ItĀ boasts five FLD elements and four aspherical lens elements to ensure optimal image quality withĀ minimal aberrations. The lens has an inner zoom mechanism that keeps overall length consistentĀ throughout the entire zoom range, helping it feel balanced in the hand. The inner zoom also means theĀ lens' center of gravity stays fairly constant, so it's perfect for gimbal use. A front filter thread allowsĀ filters to be attached more easily.
The lens boasts an exceptionally compact form-factor, weighing in at just 450g and measuring just 100.6mm in length*, which makes it a highly practical optic that is portable enough for everyday shooting. It's especially appealing for landscape, wedding and travel photographers who need to carry their kit for long periods.
Features:
- Leica L-Mount Lens/Full-Frame Format
- Aperture Range: f/2.8 to f/22
- Five FLD Elements
- Four Aspherical Elements
- Internal Focus Design
- Super Multi-Layer & Nano Porous Coatings
- Weather-Sealed Construction
- Rounded 9-blade Diaphragm
- Compatible with Sigma UD-11 USB Dock
- Tested with Sigma A1 MTF System
Uncompromising optical performance within a compact body:
Optimized with the latest optical design technology, the 16-28mm F2.8 DG DN | Contemporary is aĀ high-performance optic that delivers exceptional image quality despite its compact size. The two large-diameter aspherical lens elements and five ideally arranged FLD glass elements (whose characteristicsĀ mirror that of fluorite) keep the lens light and compact while effectively suppressing the lateral andĀ vertical chromatic aberrations that often diminish the image quality of other ultra-wide lens designs. TheĀ lens also utilizes the advanced digital correction capabilities of modern cameras to enable it to achieveĀ such impressive image quality from such a small body.
An F2.8 constant aperture gives a shallow depth-of-field for blurry out-of-focus areas, which isĀ especially useful when shooting close-ups. The bokeh is smooth and circular thanks to the nineĀ rounded diaphragm blades, which means the background never distracts from the in-focus subject.
SIGMA has also taken extensive measures to counter ghosting andĀ lens flare, which are caused byĀ reflections inside the lens barrel. The Super Multi-Layer Coating ensures that the 16-28mm F2.8 DGĀ DN | Contemporary delivers punchy, high contrast results even in the most difficult of backlit conditions.
Convenient form-factor allowing more freedom and usability
The new 16-28mm has a front filter thread built in, which allows neutral density and polarizing filters to be attached more easily. This is especially useful for landscape photographers and film-makers.
By using a stepping motor to control the AF actuator, the autofocus of the 16-28mm F2.8 DG DN | Contemporary is both fast and silent, making it ideal for shooting photography and video in quiet environments.
The inner zoom mechanism allows the lens to maintain the same length throughout the entire zoom range and with almost no shift to its balance point. The resulting stability will be appreciated by anyone looking to use the lens with a gimbal, or for hand-held or vlog-style video shoots.
The inner zoom mechanism also greatly contributes to the lens' favorable physical dimensions: at a length of 100.6mm, a diameter of 77.2mm and a weight of only 450g, its compactness rivals wide-angle zooms with slower maximum F4 apertures.
