Not suitable for "full-frame" sensor cameras, or for Minolta 35mm film SLR cameras
The Sigma 50-150mm f/2.8 II EX DC HSM lens is a compact, lightweight, large aperture telephoto zoom lens designed exclusively for digital SLR cameras with a Sony Alpha or Minolta mount. The version II of this high-quality lens has been optimized with an even better optical design, which provides optimum lens performance providing excellent correction for flare, ghosting and all types of aberrations. The super multi-layer lens coating reduces flare and ghosting and ensures sharp images throughout the entire zoom range. When used with a Sony digital SLR camera, this lens provides an equivalent range of approx. 75-225mm.
DC lenses are exclusively designed for digital SLR cameras. The image circle (rear of lens) is made to match the smaller dimensions used for the image sensor on digital cameras. As a result, these lenses are also more compact and lightweight, and are better matched to digital SLR cameras.

Comments about Sigma 50-150mm f/2.8 II EX DC HSM Lens:
I use this as my walking around lense. The motor is super quiet and smooth, autofocus is quick. Very sharp results at 50 and 150mm as well as in between. Works with the Sigma 2x teleconverter, but has issues with autofocus (works fine on manual).
