Full-Frame LensProduct Gallery
Product Overview
Sigma 90mm F2.8 DG DN | Contemporary is a short telephoto prime lens for Leica L-mount and Sony E-mount. It covers the full-frame image circle. Introduced by Sigma in 2021, it has 11 elements in 10 groups.
For incremental weathers, Sigma is kind enough to include weather sealing. On the lens barrel, one can find a physical aperture ring. Those who wish to focus manually can have the best of both worlds (with the usual caveats).
A telephoto prime lens, the Sigma 90mm F2.8 DG DN is well suited for portrait photography.

External Reviews

Reviewer score 84% (normalized by Neofiliac)Sigma’s 90mm f2.8 DG DN is a very appealing lens for Sony and L-mount mirrorless owners who want a short telephoto lens for portraits or details without the heft or cost of faster models. Details are very sharp across the frame even at the maximum aperture, and videographers will appreciate the minimal breathing. Sony 1.8 is key rival that gives you more blur for the same money, but it's softer in the corners.
Pros
- Sharpness at f2.8 and f1.8
- Lightweight and compact
- Compact design
Cons
- Focus breathing could be better
- Lack of focus breathing

Cons

Reviewer score 82% (normalized by Neofiliac)Short telephoto lenses are, almost as if by rule, very sharp optics. This 90mm is no exception, netting resolution considered excellent for the camera. Close-up focus is available to 19.7 inches, good enough for a decent 1:5 macro rating at the nearest focus point.
Pros
- Sharp, sharp image quality
- Excellent dust and splash protection
- In-camera focus aids
Cons
- Focus breathing isn't as strong as other E-mount and L-mount lenses
