Sigma 28-45mm f1.8 DG DN Art Sony E: The Game-Changing Full-Frame Zoom

Choosing between the flexibility of a zoom and the speed of a prime is finally a thing of the past. The Sigma 28-45mm f1.8 DG DN Art Sony E successfully combines multiple prime-quality focal lengths into a single, high-performance body. By delivering a constant f/1.8 aperture on a full-frame sensor, Sigma has created a tool that rivals several professional primes at once. Camera Stuff Kenya is thrilled to bring this world-first technology to the professional creative community in Kenya.

Crucially, this lens is a flagship member of Sigma’s “Art” line. This means it is optimized for the highest resolution Sony cameras. Because it lets in significantly more light than standard f/2.8 zooms, you can capture stunning visuals in environments that were previously too dark for zoom lenses.

Prime-Quality Bokeh and Low-Light Mastery

The f/1.8 maximum aperture is a monumental achievement for photography in challenging light. Whether you are shooting a dimly lit wedding ceremony or a cinematic night scene in Nairobi, this lens allows you to keep your ISO settings clean.

The Optical Advantage

• Elite Edge-to-Edge Sharpness: The lens construction features specialized aspherical and low-dispersion glass. Consequently, your images remain crisp and clear throughout the entire zoom range.

• Cinematic Background Blur: Thanks to the wide aperture and 11 rounded diaphragm blades, the bokeh is exceptionally smooth. Therefore, your subjects stand out with a professional “prime” look.

• Reduced Ghosting: Advanced coatings successfully protect against lens flare. This is especially helpful when shooting against the intense afternoon sun common in Kenyan landscapes.

Engineered Specifically for Cinematography

If you are looking for the best content creator equipment in Kenya, this lens stands out as a premier choice for videographers. Its focal range covers the most essential wide and standard perspectives for storytelling.

Furthermore, the lens features a sophisticated internal zoom mechanism. This means the physical length of the lens does not change when you adjust the focal length. Consequently, the balance of your camera remains perfectly stable. This design is a massive benefit for creators using gimbals or professional tripods & monopods. Additionally, the High-response Linear Actuator (HLA) ensures that autofocus is not only lightning-fast but also nearly silent. This prevents mechanical motor noise from interfering with audio recorded on your Zoom H1n or dedicated microphones.

Professional Handling and Rugged Build

We know that professional gear must withstand the rigors of the field. Therefore, the Sigma 28-45mm Art features a robust, dust and splash-resistant design. It also includes physical controls that enhance your efficiency. For instance, the aperture ring features a “de-click” switch for smooth iris transitions during video. Moreover, the customizable AFL buttons allow you to access your favorite shortcuts instantly.

Pro Tip: This lens uses an 82mm filter thread. To maintain your f/1.8 aperture in bright daylight, we highly recommend adding a Variable ND Filter from our Digital Cameras Archives – Cameras Stuff Kenya section.
