Introduction Sigma’s Series I lenses are a lovechild of their engineering department. These aren’t your typical high-spec prime lenses. Instead, they focus on providing a more classic “feel” combined with very compact dimensions.It has been a while since we last reviewed one of them, but let’s restart this journey with the Sigma 90mm f/2.8 DN DG Contemporary | Series I. On paper, such a lens doesn’t seem overly interesting at first glance. f/2.8 is rather slow for a medium tele lens, which typically starts at f/1.8 unless we are talking about pro glass.The lens isn’t even overly cheap at USD…

This addition allows users to enjoy high performance, and high quality SIGMA lenses in native mount on their Canon RF Mount system.”
Smaller sensor formats promise more compact gear. To some degree, this is a bit of a sweet illusion, but let’s not get too deep into equivalence discussions again. Regardlessly, there are certainly examples to support the claim. Fujifilm’s 18-55mm f/2.8-4 or Sigma’s 18-50mm f/2.8 DC DN Contemporary, for instance, come to mind. The latter has seen considerable success in the sales chart, and recently, Sigma released an ultra-wide cousin to this standard zoom lens—the Sigma 10-18mm f/2.8 DC DN Contemporary that we are reviewing here. It’s a truly tiny lens, even by the standards of the already very small 18-50mm…
