The combination is also perfectly balanced on a monopod or tripod, if you use the removable tripod mounting ring that’s supplied with the lens. GM a pretty good run for its money, so that tells me that you are getting a strong performance out of this lens. footage, a 4K Wide Angle Mode for 60 frames per second, or a high-end, 1-inch-wide Angle Mod with a 1-inch camera sensor for 19-megapixel stills and 5.

Additionally, the Sigma lens does have very noticeable distortion and vignetting present (on the wide focal lengths) in the RAW files when compared to the same shots using the Leica lens. Build quality is very good, with a comprehensive set of weather-seals and a fluorine coating on the front element. There is considerably less distortion (+13 to correct) than the stronger barrel distortion of the 24-70mm DN (+21 to correct). There’s no getting around the fact that that red dot logo means the lens costs more than some used cars.

I would have liked a more thorough weather sealing on the lens, but overall I quite like the build and handling of the 28-70 DN. A little color fringing can be apparent towards the edges and corners of the image frame at shorter focal lengths of 28-35mm, though it reduces to unnoticeable levels once you zoom in to 50mm and beyond.

Leica actually markets the 75mm as a ‘transitional lens’, bridging the gap between standard and telephoto focal lengths. It’s worth noting that this zoom would also make an excellent lens on smaller APS-C bodies like the Leica CL, which thanks to the crop factor, would give you a focal length range of 42-105mm. Sony mirrorless cameras now have almost as many options as DSLRs, with the exception of a few specialized lenses like tilt-shifts. All of our lenses belong to one of three lines—Contemporary, Art, or Sports—all of which share our development philosophy and advanced manufacturing system.In all cases, the L-mount lenses take advantage of a relatively large mounting flange of 55mm, and a close proximity of 20mm to the image sensor. So, it makes sense that manufacturers always seem to have at least a couple in their arsenal of lenses. Between our own hands-on experience and user reviews, we’ve rounded up the best L-mount lenses for Sigma, Panasonic, and Leica cameras.
