Product information
Pros and cons
According to our camera lens expert
- With 290g, this is a very light lens that you can easily take with you for an entire day.
- The aperture of f/2.8 makes the lens light-sensitive, so you can also photograph in low-light situations.
- The silent autofocus motor ensures you don't hear the lens when you record videos.
- You can't use the lens when it rains, because it isn't splash proof.
Description
The Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 DC DN Contemporary Sony E-Mount is a zoom lens for landscape and portrait photography, for example. This lens is suitable for Sony mirrorless cameras with an APS-C sensor. The zoom range is similar to the 27-75mm lens on a full-frame camera. This lens has a compact size and weighs 290g, so you can easily take it with you for the entire day. The maximum aperture of f/2.8 makes the lens light-sensitive. This allows you to photograph in low-light situations without problems. You can also use the lens to while recording. It has a silent and fast autofocus that you don't hear in your videos. If your full-frame camera has an APS-C crop mode, you can also use this lens.

Very fine lens: it is a compact and light lens that is also very sharp, even wide-open. Ideal to take with you on an APS-C camera. Nice zoom range, focuses quickly and is well built, even has some weather resistance. The only drawback I experience is the absence of optical stabilization and it takes some getting used to that the zoom ring works in reverse.

I have requested a refund because it feels like a kit lens with some little improvements (sharpness, brightness...) but not enough for its price. I was doing tests comparing it with the sony 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6, and obviously you always get better results with the sigma, but in situations of good light conditions, there is not so much difference.
