Sigma has just officially announced the new Sigma 28-45mm F1.8 DG DN Art lens for Sony E and Leica L mounts. It is the world’s-first f/1.8 zoom for full-frame cameras. This groundbreaking new lens acts as a full-frame spiritual successor to Sigma’s wildly popular 18-35mm f/1.8 DC HSM Art lens for APS-C SLRs. Like its iconic predecessor, the 28-45mm f/1.8 DG DN offers the flexibility of a zoom with the speed of a prime.
This new lens costs $1,349, first available for pre-order at B&H/ Adorama.
