Sigma 28-70mm F2.8 DG DN for L-Mount
Weighing just 470g with a constant f/2.8 aperture, this lens stands out as the lightest and most compact option in its class for L-mount, aided by superb build quality and internal focusing. Its Nano Porous Coating effectively suppresses flare and ghosting, while the 67mm filter thread keeps accessory costs low.
