In the realm of photography, the preference for long-range zoom lenses is nearly universal. Unlike prime lenses, which have fixed focal lengths, zoom lenses provide remarkable flexibility. However, they often suffer from a common drawback: a narrow aperture.
A Game-Changer in Aperture
Sigma has unveiled the world's first f/1.8 full-frame zoom lens. Typically, zoom lenses are built with an aperture of f/2.8 or narrower, which allows less light into the lens, resulting in darker images. Sigma had earlier announced their intention to release the f/1.8 28-45mm zoom lens, a topic we covered in a prior article. This cutting-edge lens is now available for purchase in China.
Specifications and Pricing
The new Sigma full-frame 28-45mm f/1.8 zoom lens is compatible with Leica L-mount and Sony E-mount. It weighs 960 grams and features a minimum focus distance of 30 cm. The lens is priced at 9797 Chinese Yuan, equivalent to approximately $1350 USD. For further details, you can refer to our previous article about Sigma’s new 28-45mm zoom lens.
