Key Features of the SIGMA 28-105mm F2.8 DG DN | Art

1. Constant F2.8 Aperture for All Focal Lengths
   Unlike many zoom lenses that stop down at the long end, the SIGMA 28-105mm maintains a constant F2.8 aperture throughout the zoom range. This provides consistent light-gathering ability and depth-of-field control across all focal lengths. The high-performance optics within each lens group suppress aberrations effectively, enabling sharp images even at wide apertures. Plus, with impressive close-focusing abilities, this lens offers macro-style shots with a minimum focus distance of just 40cm.

2. Compact Design for Maximum Portability
   Despite its extended focal range, the SIGMA 28-105mm is remarkably compact and lightweight. Weighing under 1kg, this lens is built for portability, making it ideal for photographers on the go. It also pairs perfectly with a gimbal for creating smooth video content. Its magnesium-alloy construction around the mount ensures durability while reducing weight, offering the perfect blend of strength and portability.

3. Ideal for a Wide Range of Photography Styles
   From landscapes and travel to street photography and portraits, this lens is versatile enough to handle just about any creative project. Its wide focal range and bright F2.8 aperture allow for impressive low-light performance, while the longer focal lengths (85mm-105mm) are perfect for isolating subjects with beautiful bokeh, creating striking portrait shots. The lens’s close-focusing capability also makes it easy to capture intricate details and textures.

4. Superb Optical Performance Across All Conditions
   The premium optical design of the 28-105mm lens, featuring two FLD, one SLD, and five aspherical elements, ensures consistent sharpness and clarity throughout the zoom range. SIGMA’s advanced coatings, including Nano Porous Coating and Super Multi-Layer Coating, effectively minimize flare and ghosting, delivering high-contrast, rich images in any lighting condition.

5. Built for Video Professionals
   Designed with filmmakers in mind, the SIGMA 28-105mm minimizes focus breathing, ensuring smooth transitions when adjusting focus during video recording. This feature allows for more natural-looking footage, making it a reliable option for professional videographers.

6. Professional-Grade Features and Durability
   With a linear motor HLA (High-response Linear Actuator) for fast and accurate autofocus, this lens is equipped for rapid shooting and quiet operation—ideal for both stills and video. The durable, weather-resistant build means it’s ready for use in challenging conditions, with a water- and oil-repellent coating on the front element for added protection. Additional features include a zoom lock switch, aperture ring with de-clicking capability for filmmakers, and customizable AFL buttons for personalized controls.
