Sigma released an interesting lens that’s not much heavier than some 24-105mm F4 lenses, the Sigma 28-105mm F2.8. This lens costs $1500 and we’re happy to have this option. This lens extends when zooming and does not have optical image stabilization but these were likely necessary sacrifices to keep the weight, size, and price down. There are some concerns about the manual focusing of this lens. This lens launches available for Sony E mount and L mount.
