SUMMARY

The Sigma 20-60mm f/2.8-4 lens, weighing approximately 350g, is reviewed as a potential single-lens solution for travel. It covers focal lengths from wide-angle landscapes to portraits, featuring weather sealing and fast autofocus suitable for video. While center sharpness is good, corner sharpness and vignetting at f/2.8 require adjustments, and its variable aperture shifts from f/2.8 to f/4 across the zoom range. Despite these compromises, its compact size, lighter weight, and lower price compared to alternatives make it a compelling option for photographers seeking to travel light.
