Capturing the Big Picture
At the 28mm end of the spectrum, the SIGMA 28-105mm F2.8 DG DN | Art shines in its ability to capture expansive scenes, allowing users to immerse their viewers in the grandeur of the natural world or the dynamic energy of urban landscapes. The wide-angle perspective, combined with the fast F2.8 aperture, enables photographers to shoot in low-light conditions without compromising image quality.
Reaching for the Details
At the telephoto end of the zoom range, the SIGMA 28-105mm F2.8 DG DN | Art showcases its prowess in capturing intimate details and close-up subjects. With a minimum focusing distance of just 40cm across the entire zoom range, this lens can fill the frame with intricate textures and captivating macro-style results, making it a versatile tool for nature, product, and close-up photography.
Utilizing a sophisticated lens design that includes two FLD (Fluorite-like Low Dispersion) elements, one SLD (Super Low Dispersion) element, and five aspherical elements, this lens is engineered to deliver exceptional image quality throughout the entire zoom range.
Consistent Performance Across the Zoom
One of the key achievements of the SIGMA 28-105mm F2.8 DG DN | Art is its ability to maintain consistent optical performance, even as the focal length changes. This is a result of SIGMA's meticulous attention to detail in the lens design, which effectively suppresses aberrations within each individual lens group. This ensures that users can enjoy sharp, high-contrast images, whether shooting at the wide-angle or telephoto end of the zoom.
Minimizing Flare and Ghosting
The SIGMA 28-105mm F2.8 DG DN | Art is also designed to minimize the impact of flare and ghosting, a common challenge in high-contrast lighting conditions. Through the use of advanced simulation technology and SIGMA's proprietary Nano Porous Coating and Super Multi-Layer Coating, this lens is able to render rich, high-contrast results, even in challenging environments.
Maintaining Focus Consistency
For videographers and photographers who demand consistent framing, the SIGMA 28-105mm F2.8 DG DN | Art has been engineered to minimize focus breathing, ensuring that changes to the angle of view due to focus shifts are minimized across the entire zoom range. This feature allows for smooth, natural-looking focus pulls and easier image alignment when focus stacking.
High-Speed Autofocus
Powering the autofocus capabilities of this lens is SIGMA's innovative HLA (High-response Linear Actuator) technology, which delivers rapid and precise focusing performance. This ensures that users can capture fleeting moments with confidence, whether they're shooting dynamic action or delicate close-ups.
Customizable Controls
The SIGMA 28-105mm F2.8 DG DN | Art is equipped with a range of custom controls that enhance the user experience. These include an aperture ring with a de-click function, a zoom lock switch, and two AFL (Autofocus Lock) buttons that can be programmed to perform various functions, allowing users to tailor the lens to their specific shooting needs.
