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…

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…
