What Buyers Say
Sigma Contemporary 20mm F2 DG 20mm
85 out of 100 low confidence 5 reviews
The Sigma 20mm f/2 DG Contemporary Lens is praised as a versatile and well-priced option for "in between" shots. Users confirm it is identical to the Sigma 20mm f/2 DG DN lens with only cosmetic changes, though its autofocus is slower than Sigma Art and Sony G Master lenses. The lens measures about 93mm with the hood on.
Pros
- Versatile focal length
- Good value for money
- Identical to higher-priced version
