Panasonic DC-S5 II + Sigma 28-70mm f2.8 DG DN (C)

Panasonic DC-S5 II

With its outstanding photo and video performance and an amazingly compact and rugged body, the LUMIX DC-S5M2 meets the demanding needs of creative photo and video enthusiasts while offering exceptional value

The S5M2 is based on a newly developed full-frame 24-megapixel CMOS sensor and an image processor that is also new, developed under the L² technology partnership between LEICA and LUMIX. For the first time, the sensor in the LUMIX system supports phase detection AF in addition to contrast-based AF, combining both focusing methods to create a new hybrid phase detection AF. In addition, the new processor offers outstanding image quality and high bit rate or 6K resolution video performance.

The SIGMA 28-70mm F2.8 DG DN Contemporary redefines the standard Zoom lens for mirrorless cameras: It combines outstanding optical performance and a continuous F2.8 aperture with a lightweight and compact body.

Design-wise, the 28-70mm F2.8 DG DN Contemporary is based on the 24-70mm F2.8 DG DN Art, but with a focal length range starting at 28mm. This makes the lens body significantly smaller and lighter, with the same outstanding optical performance.

Lightweight and compact housing

The slightly smaller wide-angle range of the 28-70mm F2.8 DG DN Contemporary compared to the has allowed the size of the 28-70mm body to be significantly reduced. The Contemporary product line concept balances performance and handiness.

The lens features a single, lightweight focusing element, so the AF unit can also be kept small. Together with a quiet and fast stepper motor, this provides responsive and virtually silent autofocus performance.

The 28-70mm F2.8 DG DN Contemporary weighs 470g on its own and just 890g together with the for example. At less than 1kg, such an outstandingly lightweight camera system gives photographers a tremendous amount of freedom and flexibility to realize their creative visions. It's also a perfect choice for filmmakers looking for a powerful, lightweight and easy-to-use camera system that also works well with a gimbal and other accessories.

Highest optical performance

The 28-70mm F2.8 DG DN Contemporary makes use of cutting-edge technology and features a modern optical design that includes three aspherical, two FLD and two SLD elements

Despite the overall lower number of elements than the 24-70mm F2.8 DG DN Art, the design still results in extensive correction of longitudinal chromatic aberration and sagital coma that cannot be corrected by camera. This allows users to create images that are consistently sharp from the center to the edge of the shot. In addition to the anti-ghosting design, the Super Multi-Layer and Nano-Porous coatings ensure well-controlled flare for high-contrast results even when backlit. The front lens of the lens has a water and oil repellent coating.

The everyday companion

The SIGMA 28-70mm F2.8 DG DN Contemporary offers an enhanced photographic experience for photographers with a mirrorless camera who require a fast standard Zoom lens. Its high-quality, intuitive construction makes the lens as exciting to use as the incredible images it can produce - inspiring you to realize your creative potential.

High quality coating

An ideal lens directs incident light through all the lenses and onto the sensor. If, on the other hand, some of the light is reflected by individual lenses, not only is the light yield reduced; the reflections within the lens create ghost images and aperture spots, or they reduce the contrast. Such effects would be particularly noticeable in backlit shots.

To prevent this, the 28-70mm F2.8 DG DN Contemporary uses Super Multi-Layer Coating (SML) and Nano-Porous Coating, which reduce flare and ghosting. The result is clear, sharp, high-contrast images without distracting lens flares.
