The SIGMA 28-70mm F2.8 DG DN Contemporary lens has just been announced. Available for Leica L-Mount and Sony E-Mount, the full-frame lens offers a compact design and lower weight when compared to the SIGMA 24-70mm f/2.8 Art or similar lenses. As a member of the L-Mount Alliance, the Japanese camera and lens manufacturer SIGMA makes sure that there are enough native full-frame lenses for the L-Mount standard. During their latest livestream, the company announced the new SIGMA 28-70mm F2.8 DG DN Contemporary lens. Let’s take a short look at its features and specs.
