Sigma’s Tiny Workhorse: A Bright, Versatile 20–60mm Zoom for Travel and Video

Sigma’s 20-60mm f/2.8-4 DG Contemporary is a compact, lightweight zoom that covers 20–60mm with a bright f/2.8 at the wide end and strong sharpness across the range. It delivers excellent flare resistance, solid close-up performance, and a fast internal focus motor, making it a strong one-lens option for travel, gimbal work, or vlogging. Drawbacks include harsh bokeh, average sunstars, lack of built-in controls (no AF/MF switch), and some minor LoCA at the 20mm end. Priced at $849, it competes well against Sony’s and Panasonic’s equivalents, offering more light and comparable or better optics for a lighter, more portable setup.”}{
