The Sigma 18-50mm F2.8 DC DN Contemporary is a light, bright and sharp standard zoom lens for Fujifilm X-Mount mirrorless cameras. Its versatile focal length, wide F2.8 constant aperture and portable design make it the ideal all-in-one lens for wide-angle landscapes to short telephoto portraits. The lens has been designed to be as portable as possible, so is very well-suited to photographers who need to carry their kit over long distance. Despite its remarkable size and weight, image quality has not been compromised, even wide open at F2.8.
Fast aperture and superb image quality
The lens has a full-frame-equivalent zoom range of 27mm to 75mm, with superb edge-to-edge sharpness at all apertures owing to the latest optical design technology. This includes one Special Low Dispersion (SLD) element and three aspherical elements to control unwanted optical aberrations such a chromatic aberration. The constant aperture of F2.8 allows for a shallow depth-of-field, making it easy to achieve blurry backgrounds. A fast aperture also makes it easier to shoot hand-held in low light – ideal for weddings and other situations where a tripod isn’t convenient. The 18-50mm has a minimum focusing distance of 12.1cm and a maximum magnification of 1:2.8, perfect for capturing close-ups of smaller subjects such as flowers and insects.
Exceptionally compact and lightweight body
Weighing less than 300g and measuring just under 77mm in length the 18-50mm F2.8 DC DN | Contemporary
is the smallest and lightest lens in its class*2, balancing well with modern APS-C mirrorless camera bodies. It combines an aluminium internal structure with a Thermally Stable Composite (TSC) outer barrel to produce
a robust but compact product that can withstand the rigours of daily use. Aluminium and TSC have a similar
thermal expansion rate, helping the lens to deliver consistent results as temperatures change.
