What are the alternatives to the sigma 28 45mm f 1 8 dg dn art?

If you want a zoom that goes further, the closest option I have written up is the Sigma 28-105mm f/2.8 DG DN Art. It's also a full frame zoom, and it reaches much further, but it's slower at f/2.8.

If the f/1.8 is what draws you to the 28-45mm, a fast prime may suit you better. My portraits guide covers the 50mm f/1.8 and 85mm f/1.8, which are both cheap and very good for people. For a general kit, the lenses guide explains which focal lengths to pick first.

I don't have a full list of other lenses to compare against the 28-45mm here, so check which lenses fit your camera's mount before you buy.
