Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 DC DN Contemporary Lens (Sony E)

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.

Standard zoom lens is designed for APS-C-format Sony E-mount cameras and provides a 35mm equivalent focal length range of 27-75mm.
Constant f/2.8 maximum aperture is well-suited for working in low-light conditions and provides greater control over the focus position when using shallow depth of field techniques.
Three high-precision glass-molded aspherical elements are used to help limit distortion and spherical aberrations and contribute to greater overall sharpness and accurate rendering.
Special Low Dispersion (SLD) element reduces chromatic aberrations and color fringing.
Super Multi-Layer Coating minimizes flare and ghosting for improved contrast and color accuracy when working in strong lighting conditions.
In-camera aberration correction further eliminates optical imperfections such as distortion and vignetting.
Stepping motor with nearly silent autofocus that makes it perfectly suited to a range of photographic applications, including shooting in quiet environments, recording videos, and capturing fast-moving subjects.
Minimum focusing distance of 4.8" and a 1:2.8 maximum magnification ratio benefits working with close-up subjects.
Rounded seven-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality.

Lexar 256GB Professional 1667x UHS-II SDXC Memory Card (2-Pack)

The 256GB Professional 1667x UHS-II SDXC Memory Card (2-Pack) from Lexar features a storage capacity of 256GB per card and takes advantage of the UHS-II bus to support advanced DSLR functions such as continuous shutter bursts and rapid shooting, as well as raw and JPEG captures. This card is also well-suited for video capture, including 4K, 3D, and Full HD video, and can achieve maximum read speeds of up to 250 MB/s and maximum write speeds of up to 120 MB/s. Thanks to its V60 speed class rating, minimum write speeds are guaranteed not to drop below 60 MB/s.

UHS-II cards achieve their speed through an extra row of pins and while this card has been designed for cameras that are UHS-II / V60 compatible, it may be used in devices that do not support UHS-II / V60. However, bear in mind that this card will then default to your device's speed class and bus rating, such as UHS-II and V30, which supports minimum write speeds of 30 MB/s, or UHS-I and U3, which also supports minimum write speeds of 30 MB/s. If your device does not support U3, this card is compatible with the U1 and Class 10 standards, each of which guarantee minimum write speeds of 10 MB/s.

To help protect against accidental file deletion, there is a built-in write protect switch. To further safeguard against possible data loss, users can download free Image Rescue software that is designed to recover most photo and video files.

General Features
High-speed performance-leverages UHS-II technology (U3) for a data read speed up to 1667x (250 MB/s)
Captures high-quality images and extended lengths of enhanced 1080p Full HD, 3D, and 4K video with a DSLR camera, HD camcorder, or 3D camera
A large capacity of up to 256GB lets you shoot longer without changing cards
High-speed file transfer from card to computer to dramatically accelerate workflow
Backwards compatible with UHS-I and Class 10 devices

Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 DC DN Contemporary Reviews

An APS-C standard for a reason

This truly is a jack of all trades. The new Sigma Art 17-40 is faster, but at this price point nothing beats this 18-50. Compact and easy to travel with, it might be a semi-permanent fixture on my A6700

Great upgrade!

I wanted to upgrade my kit lens for my canon EOS R50 and this lens is just perfect! It truly is a great upgrade! All the pictures have a better quality and much sharper. I am still new to photography and I was just looking to take better pictures. Very easy to use and every picture is amazing. Great upgrade from the kit lens :)

The Canon RF mount - it states for crop sensor. Could you use this on a full frame, ie R6?
Asked by: Joyce
The Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 DC DN Contemporary Lens for Canon RF is designed for Canon mirrorless cameras with an APS-C sensor. You can connect the lens to a full-frame mirrorless camera such as the Canon EOS R6 Mark II Mirrorless Camera. However, the camera will automatically activate its crop mode and drop the megapixels count to 9.3MP.
