Years ago, Sigma reinvented themselves with the Art series, which quickly grew into a full line of highly respected lenses, known in particular for their image quality and affordable prices. The company has continued to expand its offerings, which now include the Contemporary line, meant to "achieve a balance between convenience and performance." The 20mm f/2 DG DN is the latest entry in that line, and this excellent video review takes a look at the performance and image quality you can expect from it.
Coming to you from Christopher Frost, this great video review takes a look at the new Sigma 20mm f/2 DG DN Contemporary lens. At $699, the 20mm f/2 offers a noticeably wide though not extreme focal length, while the f/2 aperture allows it to be reasonably fast while still maintaining a pretty compact footprint. It comes with a variety of useful features, including:
- Mechanical aperture ring
- Stepping motor for quiet autofocus
- All-metal body with dust- and moisture-resistant mount
- Rounded nine-blade diaphragm for smoother bokeh
It looks like the 20mm f/2 DG DN Contemporary produces impressively sharp and contrasty images, just like other Sigma lenses are known for, making it another intriguing offering from the company. Check out the video above for Frost's full thoughts on the lens.
