  • Our take on the Sigma 28-70mm F2.8 DG DN Contemporary

    A constant f/2.8 standard zoom for Sony E-mount full-frame cameras, built as the lighter, smaller sibling of Sigma's 24-70mm Art. It covers 28-70mm, which handles portraits, events and everyday walkaround work, and it is notably compact for its aperture. It skips the 24mm wide end and in-lens stabilization that some rivals offer, so it trades reach and features for size and weight. Owners rate it highly for sharpness and portability, with the usual complaints about the narrower wide end and some softness wide open at the long end.

    Best forSony E-mount full-frame shooters who want a light f/2.8 zoomEvent and wedding photographers working in low lightTravel and street shooters who value a small kitVideo users on gimbals who need a constant aperture
    Pros
    • Constant f/2.8 across the zoom range
    • Small and light for a full-frame f/2.8 standard zoom
    • Fast, quiet stepping motor autofocus that suits video
    • Close focusing for near-macro detail shots
    • Solid build with dust and splash resistance
    Cons
    • Starts at 28mm, so it loses the 24mm wide end of rivals
    • No optical stabilization, which matters on non-IBIS bodies
    • Some softness wide open at 70mm
    • Focus breathing is visible for video
    • No aperture ring

    What reviewers say

    • 4.7 / 512 ratings

    Reviewers and owners praise the lens for combining f/2.8 with a compact body, calling it sharp and well built for the money. Criticism centers on the 28mm wide end, edge softness at f/2.8 and the lack of stabilization.

    What people mention
    • Size and weightPraisedOwners say it is easy to carry all day and balances well on smaller full-frame bodies.
    • SharpnessMixedReviewers find it sharp in the center but note softer corners and edges at f/2.8, especially at 70mm.
    • Focal rangeCriticisedThe 28mm starting point is the most common complaint, since 24mm rivals cover more of the wide end.
    • AutofocusPraisedThe stepping motor is described as fast, quiet and reliable for both stills and video.
    • StabilizationCriticisedWithout optical stabilization, shooters on bodies lacking IBIS have to watch shutter speeds in low light.
    • BuildPraisedOwners report a solid, well-sealed barrel that holds up to regular outdoor use.

    Questions and answers

    Is the Sigma 28-70mm f/2.8 worth it over the 24-70mm Art?
    It is the lighter, smaller option and costs less, but gives up the 24mm wide end and some edge sharpness. Choose it if portability matters more than the extra reach.
    Does it work on APS-C Sony bodies?
    Yes, it mounts on Sony E-mount APS-C cameras, where it behaves like a 42-105mm equivalent. That makes it a short telephoto zoom rather than a wide standard.
    Does it have image stabilization?
    No. It relies on the camera's in-body stabilization, so it is steadier on bodies like the A7 III or A7 IV than on older models without IBIS.
    Is it good for video?
    The constant aperture and quiet autofocus suit video, but focus breathing is visible when racking focus. It has no aperture ring, so aperture is set on the camera.
    What is in the box?
    The lens comes with front and rear caps, a lens hood and a soft case. A tripod collar is not included and is not offered for this lens.
    How close can it focus?
    Minimum focus distance is about 19cm at the wide end and 38cm at the long end, which allows tight detail shots at 28mm.
    Where is the Sigma 28-70mm F2.8 DG DN Contemporary cheapest?
    At Walmart, for $682.60, 19% under what the other stores charge, as of our latest check.
    What do buyers say about the Sigma 28-70mm F2.8 DG DN Contemporary?
    Rated 4.7 out of 5 from 12 ratings.
