The Sigma 18-50mm F2.8 DC DN Contemporary is a standard zoom lens that's designed for Canon APS-C mirrorless cameras. With a full-frame equivalent focal range of 28.8-80nnmm, it combines exceptional versatility with a compact and light body (only 300g), superb build quality and impressive optical performance. This 18-50mm lens is perfect for landscape, portrait, street photography and is also great for video shooting. Close-up photography is can be achieved with a minimum focusing distance of just 12.1cm. Large F2.8 aperture The Sigma 18-50mm F2.8 DC DN | Contemporary covers 27mm to 75mm in the 35mm format, and has a wide aperture of F2.8 throughout the entire zoom range. This makes it easy to achieve blurry backgrounds, which is ideal for shooting attractive portraits and close-ups. The bokeh is smooth and attractive so doesn’t distract from the in-focus subject. Superb image quality The lens’s three high-precision glass-molded aspherical elements coupled with the minimisation of the total number of elements yields superb optical quality without excessive weight, and the use of in-camera aberration correction further eliminates optical imperfections such as distortion and vignetting. With a minimum focusing distance of 12.1 cm and maximum magnification of 1:2.8, making it ideal for close-ups. Compact and lightweight body This lens is remarkably compact, matching the portability of APS-C mirrorless camera bodies. This makes it a perfect workhorse lens that is ideal for general day-to-day use. The lens is currently the smallest and lightest in its class, boasting a maximum diameter of 65.4mm, a length of 74.5mm and weight of 290g, yet still maintains a constant aperture of F2.8. To keep the lens as light as possible, SIGMA constructed the body from carefully selected materials. A polycarbonate called Thermally Stable Composite (TSC) was used for the construction of the barrel, which is sleek, robust, and importantly has a thermal conductivity close to that of aluminium. Fast and near-silent autofocus The Sigma 18-50mm F2.8 DC DN | Contemporary has fast and near-silent AF that makes it perfectly suited to a range of photographic applications, including shooting in quiet environments, recording video and capturing fast-moving subjects. This has been achieved by using a stepping motor as the AF actuator. Since it is small and lightweight, it can be used flexibly in situations such as handheld shooting, which requires high mobility, gimbal shooting, one-man operation video shooting and vlogging. Additional features - Lens construction: 13 elements in 10 groups, with 1 SLD element and three aspherical elements - Inter focus system - Compatible with high-speed autofocus - Stepping motor - Compatible with lens aberration correction - Supports AF and MF - Super Multi-Layer Coating - Petal-type lens hood - Mount with dust and splash-resistant structure - Designed to minimise flare and ghosting - 7-blade rounded diaphragm - High-precision, durable brass bayonet mount
