The modern Sigma 16-28mm f/2.8 DG DN lens for Sony E is a compact, high-performance ultra-wide zoom designed to complement a photographer’s kit by providing a versatile focal length range in a small and lightweight package, without compromising optical quality. A fast constant f/2.8 aperture allows the use of higher shutter speeds in low-light scenarios, and is also especially useful for close-up shots thanks to the shallow depth of field.
This lens uses a complex arrangement of specialized aspherical and low-dispersion glass elements to effectively suppress chromatic aberrations for improved sharpness and color accuracy. Super Multi-Layer and Nano Porous Coatings have also been applied to enhance contrast and color rendition, reducing lens flare and ghosting when working in strong lighting conditions. The internal zoom & focus mechanism keeps the lens dimensions constant throughout the zoom range and at all focus distances. This design feature allows almost no shift in the balance point and a fixed front element, making it an ideal tool for videography, travel, and landscape photography.
The constant maximum f/2.8 aperture is well suited for working in available light conditions.
Two large-diameter aspherical elements control spherical aberrations and distortion for increased sharpness and accurate rendering.
The rounded nine-blade diaphragm contributes to a smooth and pleasing bokeh quality.
The 72 mm front filter thread allows the use of common screw-on filters instead of specialized setups.
A stepping AF motor benefits both photographers and videographers with its fast, accurate, and near-silent performance. Full-time manual focus control can also be selected.
Weather-resistant construction with a brass bayonet mount that offers improved mounting precision and rigidity.
