Sigma's compact Contemporary 24mm f/2 for mirrorless — small, affordable wide prime for Sony FE and L-Mount.
The Sigma 24mm f/2 DG DN Contemporary launched in 2020 as a compact, affordable wide prime for mirrorless, available for Sony FE and L-Mount. The Contemporary designation emphasises portability and value — a practical everyday wide prime.
Optically good — sharp from f/2.8 with decent performance at f/2. Contemporary-line quality is very capable — not Art-line but well above budget. Stepping motor AF is fast and quiet. Minimal focus breathing for video. Good close focus at 24.5cm.
Available for Sony FE and L-Mount. 62mm filter thread. Approximately 360g — compact. Dust and splash resistant. Minimum focus distance 24.5cm. Aperture ring with click/de-click switch. Control focus and aperture rings.
Available used at budget to mid-range prices. The Sony 24mm f/2.8 G is smaller. The Sigma 24mm f/1.4 DG DN Art is faster but much heavier. A practical affordable wide prime for everyday Sony FE and L-Mount use.
