Impressive F2.8 Aperture and Outstanding Image Quality:
The SIGMA 18-50mm F2.8 DC DN | Contemporary lens spans a versatile 27mm to 75mm range in the 35mm format, featuring a wide F2.8 aperture across the entire zoom spectrum. This allows for effortless background blur, perfect for capturing captivating portraits and detailed close-ups. The bokeh, characterized by its smooth and alluring quality, remains unobtrusive, ensuring the focused subject takes center stage.
Crafted with three high-precision glass-molded aspherical elements, the lens achieves superb optical quality without adding unnecessary weight. The careful reduction of total lens elements, coupled with in-camera aberration correction, eliminates distortions and vignetting. This optical excellence is a testament to SIGMA's cutting-edge design technology, exclusively implemented at their production base in Aizu.
Compact and Lightweight Marvel for Mirrorless Cameras:
The SIGMA 18-50mm F2.8 DC DN | Contemporary boasts an exceptionally compact build, aligning seamlessly with the portability of APS-C mirrorless camera bodies. As the smallest and lightest in its class※1, with dimensions of φ65.4mm (maximum diameter), a length of 74.5mm, and a weight of 290g※2, it maintains a constant F2.8 aperture. The lens construction employs Thermally Stable Composite (TSC), a robust polycarbonate with thermal conductivity akin to aluminum, ensuring stability in varying temperatures. Carefully selected metal components in the internal structure enhance rigidity, allowing the lens to endure frequent, robust use.
Supports Diverse Shooting Scenarios:
The SIGMA 18-50mm F2.8 DC DN | Contemporary excels in a multitude of photographic applications with its fast and nearly silent autofocus, driven by a compact stepping motor. This feature makes it ideal for quiet environments, video recording, and capturing fast-paced subjects. The lens's lightweight design enables flexible use in handheld shooting, gimbal setups, one-man operation video shoots, and vlogging.
Versatility with SIGMA fp and Beyond:
Teaming up with the "Pocketable Full-Frame" SIGMA fp results in a combined weight of only 712g, making the lens a valuable sub-lens for full-frame cameras (used in crop mode) to maintain a lightweight setup. Balancing compactness, low weight, high performance, and a generous aperture, the 18-50mm F2.8 DC DN | Contemporary supports a range of shooting scenarios—from entry-level single-lens mirrorless setups to video production and collaboration with full-frame cameras.
Optimized Minimum Focusing Distance:
With a focus on versatility across various shooting conditions, SIGMA designed the lens with a minimum focusing distance of 12.1cm and a maximum magnification of 1:2.8*, making it an excellent choice for detailed close-up photography.
