A 24-70mm f/2.8 lens is the workhorse of choice for a huge range of photographers, but such lenses are often quite expensive. Sigma's 28-70mm f/2.8 DG DN Contemporary comes in at about half the price of competitors, making it quite appealing for those who can live without 24mm on the wide end. This great video review takes a look at the lens and the kind of performance and image quality you can expect from it in practice.
Coming to you from Gordon Laing, this excellent video review takes a look at the Sigma 28-70mm f/2.8 DG DN Contemporary lens. At $899, the 28-70mm f/2.8 is significantly cheaper than a lot of 24-70mm f/2.8 lenses, which normally command prices somewhere around $2,000, albeit with the loss of 4mm on the wide end. That can be a bit tough for some people, such as landscape or wedding photographers, who often need the option to shoot at 24mm, but if you can live with the 28mm wide end or you have a second lens to cover the wider focal lengths, it looks like a great option that can save you significant money over other options. Check out the video above for Laing's full thoughts on the lens.
