Panasonic Lumix DC-S1H + Sigma 28-70mm f2.8 DG DN (C)

Panasonic Lumix DC-S1H

The Panasonic Lumix S1H is the world's first full-frame camera capable of 6K/24p, 5.9K/30p (16:9) or 10-bit 60p 4K/C4K video.

Its new sensor with low-pass filter uses Dual Native ISO technology with two base sensitivities for minimal noise at high sensitivities. The dynamic range, with over 14-EV stops, is on par with cinema cameras. Its V-Log is compatible with the popular "VariCam" cinematic look.[

Thanks to Panasonics heat dissipation and a built-in fan, the S1H is ahead of other cameras with unlimited recording time in all shooting modes. In addition, HDR, 4:2:2 10-bit, and anamorphic modes are available.

The dual stabilizer compensates for up to 6.5 stops slower shutter speeds. The swiveling touchscreen monitor, 5.8 MP OLED viewfinder, and large shoulder display ensure intuitive operation. Lastly, the rugged body design ensures use in the most adverse conditions.

• Full frame image quality and cropping - 24MP sensor with low pass filter, dual native ISO and image stabilization up to +6.5 EV, 96 MP HR shot

• Professional video recording - 6K 24p, 4K 30p 4:2:2 10 bit & vlog internal and 60p via HDMI, up to 400 Mbps, 14+ apertures, HDR, anamorphic recording, highspeed up to 180 fps/ FHD, timecode, XLR dock (optional

• )

  Perfect operation - real-image OLED viewfinder (5.8 MP, 120 fps, 0.78x), shoulder display, joystick, freely swiveling touchscreen monitor, illuminated buttons, direct wheels/keys/levers

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 stepping motor, this ensures responsive and virtually silent autofocus performance[

The 28-70mm F2.8 DG DN Contemporary weighs 470g alone and, for example, together with the just 890g. 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 is also a perfect choice for filmmakers looking for a powerful, lightweight and easy-to-handle camera system that also works well with a gimbal and other accessories.[

The genes of the Art product line

The optical design of the SIGMA 28-70mm F2.8 DG DN Contemporary is based on the 24-70mm F2.8 DG DN Art, which is known for its outstanding optical performance throughout the focal length range. The 28-70mm F2.8 DG DN Contemporary follows the core concept of the Contemporary product line: it has been designed to offer the right balance of performance and handiness. In a body light enough for everyday use, this fast standard Zoom lens thus delivers outstanding image quality that rivals lenses in the Art product line.[

Outstanding build quality

Although it is commonly believed that plastic parts are more difficult to ensure processing accuracy than metal parts, the 28-70mm F2.8 DG DN Contemporary has not compromised on processing quality

One reason for this is the use of the special polycarbonate TSC (Thermally Stable Composite), which has comparable thermal shrinkage to aluminum. This reduces the differences in thermal shrinkage between metallic and non-metallic components, ensuring consistent performance even under extreme temperature fluctuations. The use of polycarbonates in the construction of Zoom and focus rings can make them appear less premium in practice. However, when these parts are carefully machined for precision and appropriately adjusted in movement by lubricants, the rings provide precise mechanics with an exceptionally high-quality feel.[

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.
