Sigma 20-60mm F2.8-4 DG Contemporary, a wider standard zoom

Designed to deliver both a wide-angle perspective and a portrait focal lenght, the new lens packs uncompromising sharpness and close-up capabilities into a palm-sized design.

Introduced as a standard zoom lens for full-frame cameras, the new Sigma 20-60mm F2.8-4 DG Contemporary, with a weight of only 385g, offers considerable full-frame flexibility without sacrificing light gathering capabilities and bokeh. Designed to deliver both a wide-angle perspective and exceptional portability, this lens packs uncompromising sharpness and impressive close-up capabilities into a palm-sized design. 

Starting at 20mm, this zoom lens features a focal length significantly wider than most other standard zooms; the field of view gained from 20mm, compared to 24mm, is, Sigma notes, “quite substantial on the wide end. This makes for a lens that can capture everything – from sweeping landscapes to everyday snapshots to portraits – with ease. The bright F2.8 aperture on the wide end even allows for nightscape and accessible indoor photography.” 

An “impressive short-focusing distance”, according to Sigma, “expands shooting versatility even further, with a minimum focusing distance of 15.8cm at the 28mm mark and a maximum magnification ratio of 1:2.3 at the 35mm mark. This allows for close-up images that approach half-macro performance, rendering exceptional detail of close-up objects. Even at the 60mm end, the 20-60mm F2.8-4 maintains a magnification rate of 1:2.9 for seamless shooting across the full zoom range.” 

The 20-60mm F2.8-4 DG | Contemporary will be available from authorized Sigma dealers in the US beginning October 6, 2026 for a retail price of $849 USD.
