The Sigma 28-105 mm F2.8 DG DN | Art is not just another standard zoom lens. With a powerful wide-angle to medium telephoto focal length and a constant aperture of F2.8, it combines excellent optical performance with exemplary build quality. Additionally, it offers a range of professional features that make it one of the most versatile lenses on the market for full-frame mirrorless cameras.
The Sigma 28-105 mm F2.8 DG DN | Art provides the advantages of a constant F2.8 aperture, such as brightness and depth of field variability, across the entire focal length range. Its optical performance is also extremely high throughout the zoom range. The thorough reduction of optical aberrations within each lens group ensures outstanding results. Its remarkable close focusing distance allows for close-ups with a magnification ratio of approximately 1:3 in the telephoto range.
With a close focusing distance of just 40 cm across the entire focal length range, the Sigma 28-105 mm F2.8 DG DN | Art brings you close to the subject for images rich in detail. The magnification ratio of 1:3.1 at 105 mm focal length delivers impressive results for close-up shots.
The lens is equipped with a HLA linear motor (High-response Linear Actuator), which provides high drive speed as well as responsive, precise, and smooth autofocus. Thanks to its nearly silent operation, it is also suitable for video recording.

Mechanically, the Sigma zoom is of higher quality, optically Canon is slightly ahead. To be fair, it must be mentioned that the camera's internal correction of distortion and vignetting helps a lot, especially with Canon's RF 2.8/28-70 mm IS STM. Incidentally, the classic 2.8/24-70 mm zooms from both manufacturers perform slightly better.
Sigma continues to surprise with exceptional lens solutions that are also practical and powerful. The new zoom lens impresses with its very high image quality combined with extended creative freedom thanks to the larger telephoto range.
With a weight of just under one kilogramme, the 28-105 mm is surprisingly handy for such a large focal length range and easily suitable for setting off on extensive photo tours. In the lab test, the resolution was at a high level - even if not quite at the level of high-resolution fixed focal lengths...
