Ideal for a wide range of photo and video applications including landscapes, portraits, street photography, architecture, and events, the 18-50mm f/2.8 DC DN Contemporary Lens from Sigma is a small, light, and bright standard zoom for crop-sensor mirrorless cameras. Offered here with a Sony E-mount, this lens provides a versatile full-frame equivalent zoom range of 27-75 and a wide constant aperture of f/2.8 throughout the entire zoom range. The lens design includes three high-precision glass-molded aspherical elements coupled with a special low dispersion element. Together they minimize the total number of elements for superb optical quality without excessive weight. Autofocus is exceptionally fast and quiet thanks to the lens's stepping motor, which can be particularly useful when shooting video or fast-moving subjects such as children and animals. An ultimate workhorse, the lens features a minimum focusing distance of just 4.8", enabling it to be used for macro-style close-up photography, and the lens is also outfitted with a rounded seven-blade diaphragm for a pleasing bokeh quality.

Would This lens come to the Canon RF-S lens mount? (I'm going to go for a Canon R7. Just for some context)
As of today, Sigma hasn't announced the release of a Canon RF mount version of this 18-50mm f/2.8 DC DN Contemporary Lens. In the event that they do, we'll announce it through the B&H E-Mail Newsletter.

What is a contemporary lens?
What is a contemporary lens?
Sigma's Contemporary line are lenses designed to require digital lens corrections for things like distortion and lateral chromatic aberration. This allows the lens to be smaller and cheaper. But if you turned lens corrections off, you would see the distortion quite clearly. The line above the Contemporary line, the Art line, does try to correct all optical imperfections in-lens and not require digital corrections, but the lenses are much larger and more expensive because of it.

It's a DN, meaning it's for mirrorless cameras only. Surprisingly, it also isn't available (yet?) in the Canon M mount.

Yes Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 DC DN Contemporary Lens for Sony E is compatible with the Sony A73 but since the lens is for crop sensor and the A73 is full frame, this lens will crop the full frame sensor of the A73. Less than half of the available megapixels will be used.
