Compact size and exceptional optical quality

Bright F2.8 constant aperture

Inner zoom for optimal balance

Convenient 72mm front filter thread

Responsive and near-silent stepping focus motor

Mount with dust and splash resistant structure

TSC (Thermally Stable Composite) construction

Designed to minimize flare and ghosting

Rounded 9-blade diaphragm

Product Features:

Uncompromising optical performance within a compact body

The two large-diameter aspherical lens elements and five ideally arranged FLD glass elements keep the lens light and compact while effectively suppressing the lateral and vertical chromatic aberrations that often diminish the image quality of other ultra-wide lens designs. The lens also utilizes the advanced digital correction capabilities of modern cameras to enable it to achieve such impressive image quality from such a small body.

Beautiful bokeh

An F2.8 constant aperture gives a shallow depth-of-field for blurry out-of-focus areas, which isespecially useful when shooting close-ups. The bokeh is smooth and circular thanks to the nine rounded diaphragm blades, which means the background never distracts from the in-focus subject.

Minimizing ghosting and lens flare

The Super Multi-Layer Coating ensures that the 16-28mm F2.8 DG DN Contemporary delivers punchy, high contrast results even in the most difficult of backlit conditions.

Convenient form-factor allowing more freedom and usability

The new 16-28mm has a front filter thread built in, which allows neutral density and polarizing filters to be attached more easily. This is especially useful for landscape photographers and film-makers. 

Fast and silent autofocus

By using a stepping motor to control the AF actuator, the autofocus of the 16-28mm F2.8 DG DN Contemporary is ideal for shooting photography and video in quiet environments. 

Next-level zoom

The inner zoom mechanism allows the lens to maintain the same length throughout the entire zoom range and with almost no shift to its balance point. The resulting stability will be appreciated by anyone looking to use the lens with a gimbal, or for hand-held or vlog-style video shoots.

Intuitive ergonomics

Compact and lightweight, the 16-28mm F2.8 DG DN Contemporary lens is a sophisticated but versatile photographic tool that offers photographers and film-makers the perfect blend of portability and performance.

Exceptional build quality

The lens is constructed using Thermally Stable Composite (TSC), a polycarbonate with a thermal contraction rate similar to that of aluminum. This enables the lens to function at peak performance even in environments with harsh temperature differences, as the metal and plastic parts contract and expand at similar rates.
