The Sigma 28-45mm F1.8 DG DN is a wide-to-medium zoom lens for E-mount and L-mount cameras. According to Sigma, it’s the spiritual successor to its popular 18-35mm F1.8 DC HSM lens for APS-C DSLRs and the first constant aperture F1.8 lens for full-frame mirrorless cameras.
Sigma is making big claims about the quality of this lens, stating that the image quality is comparable to prime lenses and that it exceeds the performance of its own 24mm F1.4 and 50mm F1.4 DG DN primes. We took the lens to the UK as a travel companion and captured images from the bustle of downtown London to the serene countryside. Check out our gallery, and let us know if you think this lens lives up to expectations.
