A tilt and free-angle monitor designed for comfortable creative work

A tilt and free-angle rear monitor lets you compose shots on the optical axis. You can rotate the monitor while the cable is still plugged in, which also makes it extremely useful for video production. When shooting outdoors, the high-resolution OLED viewfinder with approximately 5,760k dots supports natural framing.

24.2MP BSI CMOS sensor for true-to-life, rich detail

Working in perfect sync with a 24.2MP sensor, the LUMIX S1IIE delivers beautifully lifelike images full of depth and detail. The inclusion of HEIF supports streamlined HDR photo workflows with 10bit colour fidelity. And when you need maximum resolution, High Resolution mode lets you capture 96MP-equivalent images* - even handheld - without compromising on mobility.

Versatile video formats to match your creative style

Whether you're shooting in ultra-high-resolution 6K 30p 10-bit or working with C4K, 4K, 3.3K, or Full HD, the LUMIX S1IIE gives you the flexibility to create the way you want. With support for internal 4:2:2 10-bit recording, you’ll get rich colour and exceptional image quality straight out of camera - perfect for pro-level workflows. It also supports open gate 6K 30p (3:2), giving you even more freedom to crop, reframe, and deliver in any aspect ratio.

High-speed AFC burst shooting at up to 30 fps

In H+ Burst mode, you can shoot at around 10 fps with continuous autofocus using the mechanical shutter*, all without any viewfinder blackout. Need even more speed? Switch to the electronic shutter’s SH Burst or SH Pre-Burst modes to capture fast-moving moments - like sports or wildlife - at up to 30 fps meaning you never miss the moment.

Next-level autofocus with advanced AI recognition technology

Powered by a Phase Hybrid AF system and advanced AI, the LUMIX S1RII delivers fast, accurate autofocus with exceptional subject tracking. It locks onto eyes and faces with confidence — even when they’re turned away or partially hidden. New Urban Sports recognition keeps up with fast, unpredictable movement, while the upgraded Motorcycle/Bike mode ensures sharp focus, whether your subject’s on two wheels or tearing through the action.

The world's first* full-frame, f/1.8 maximum aperture zoom lens

SIGMA has successfully developed the world's first full-frame zoom lens with a maximum aperture of f/1.8. The SIGMA 28-45mm f/1.8 DG DN | Art incorporates an inner zoom mechanism, a minimum focusing distance of 30cm across the entire zoom range, and a filter size of φ82mm. Despite its advanced feature set, the lens weighs less than 1kg, making it a portable and versatile option for either hand-held shooting or a gimbal setup.

Constant maximum aperture of f/1.8

Once a privilege reserved only for prime lenses, the maximum f/1.8 aperture allows full-frame camera users to expose hand-held in low light and produce beautiful bokeh while enjoying the flexibility of a zoom.

A practical and stable inner zoom

Employing an inner zoom mechanism, the overall length of the lens remains constant when the focal length or focus distance changes. This means the lens is easy to use when shooting hand-held, highly stable when mounted on a tripod or gimbal, and more resistant to dust and water contamination.

Consistent close focus

The minimum focusing distance is a constant 30cm across the entire zoom range, with a maximum magnification ratio of 1:4 at the telephoto end, providing excellent close-up shooting capabilities. As well as offering precise focus in confined spaces, the lens can therefore be used close to a subject without affecting sharpness when using the zoom.

Premium build at a lighter weight

By rights, such a fast zoom should be big and heavy, but while the lens’s rigidity and durability protect its sophisticated optical design, this is achieved at a weight of less than 1kg. What’s more, this reliable photographic tool uses a versatile filter size of φ82mm, meaning no compromise in portability or convenience.

Excellent optical performance comparable to that of a prime lens

With each optical aberration meticulously corrected throughout the zoom range, the SIGMA 28-45mm f/1.8 DG DN | Art rivals prime lenses for clarity and definition. Thanks to its advanced coatings, the lens produces clear images, even in backlit environments, while focus breathing is thoroughly suppressed, bringing expressive power to filmmakers and photographers.

The pinnacle of optical quality in a zoom

Through the effective arrangement of 5 SLD elements and 3 aspherical elements, aberrations are rigorously corrected. Axial chromatic aberration, which is particularly noticeable with large-aperture lenses, has been thoroughly suppressed, and the lens delivers clear images with minimal colouration, from sharply focused details to large, smooth bokeh.

Suppression of focus breathing

When using regular lenses, the angle of view can change as the focus moves from near to far, affecting precise composition. With the SIGMA 28-45mm f/1.8 DG DN Art this focus breathing is suppressed, enabling natural focus pulls when shooting video.

Minimal flare and ghosting

Flare and ghosting, which reduce image quality, have been largely eliminated using advanced simulation technology, ensuring the lens renders rich, high-contrast results in all conditions. In addition, to keep flare and ghosting to a minimum, the lens uses SIGMA’s Nano Porous Coating and Super Multi-Layer Coating, producing superior resistance to backlighting and enabling clear, saturated images in all lighting conditions.

High-speed AF speed and innovative features

The SIGMA 28-45mm f/1.8 DG DN | Art delivers a range of professional features as impressive as its outstanding optical performance. With high-speed and adaptable AF, a durable weather-resistant structure, a de-clickable aperture ring, smooth manual focusing and on-barrel AFL buttons, all features combine to create a versatile photographic tool capable of responding to any situation.

Faster focus with a linear motor

The lens’s AF mechanism uses an HLA (High-response Linear Actuator) to combine accelerated focusing speed with exquisite precision. And because the motor is near-silent it allows video recording without noise.

Precise and comfortable manual focusing

To deliver delicate and accurate manual focus, the lens employs a by-wire driven focus ring with an optimum torque setting, high resolution and an adjustable rotation angle between 90° and 720°*. This allows film-makers to pull focus with organic smoothness, and photographers to focus manually with outstanding accuracy.

Aperture ring refinements

• Aperture ring click switch
• Aperture ring
• Aperture ring lock switch

The lens is equipped with an aperture ring as well as an aperture ring click switch and an aperture ring lock switch, allowing for aperture operation suitable for various shooting situations.

Equipped with two AFL buttons

Located on the side and top of the barrel, two customizable* AFL buttons can be easily reached in either horizontal or vertical shooting positions.

Built to withstand the elements

In addition to a dust- and splash-resistant body, the frontmost surface of the lens is coated with a water- and oil-repellent coating so that it can be used safely even in harsh outdoor environments.

Includes locking petal-type hood

A petal-type hood is included to shield the lens from light. It has a locking mechanism for secure attachment and can be reversed for easier storage.
