Sigma 18-50mm F2.8 DC DN Contemporary (for E Mount), Black

This is absolutely one of the best lenses you can get for in APS C camera. It's basically equivalent to 28-75mm in full frame. With the constant aperture of F/2.8. So it allows a good amount of light in and is great because of the constant aperture, compared to variable ones. The build quality is very nice. It seems pretty well built. Although this is their contemporary series, it still feels premium. One of the best things is the light weight and small size compared to the full frame lenses I used to use. It makes it much more light to carry around, and makes me want to go out and shoot more. Very sharp, with nice Bokeh. Overall, I would give this lens an 8.5/10 or more; probably a solid 9.

this lens is superior. I do food videography, but this lens is amazing for shooting people or anything really this is a versatile lens and was 100% worth the price. The look isn’t too bulky so the size is perfect, sharpness is great. Would recommend to anyone trying to get into videography or photography.

Bought this as my primary video lens on a Sony A6700. It has totally lived up to the hype about it. Just fantastic - for video and photo. Although the A6700 isn't my go-to camera for photography, with this lens, it's a fantastic photography package when you want a "walk-around" solution with excellent optical performance in a very compact and lightweight form factor. Definitely makes me willing to purchase more Sigma lenses for my Sony camera bodies. Great job, Sigma! (I really, really, really wish it started at 16mm, but other than that, it's perfect.)

As an owner of both the Sigma 30mm f/1.4 and 56mm f/1.4, I got this zoom lens with the intention of using it for travel photography, mostly due to the small size and great quality; but I can now say that it will pretty much be my default lens for most situations. It’s a great upgrade for anyone using the default sony kit lens, with the only caveat being the lack of stabilization. And while not necessarily an upgrade compared to my other sigma lenses in terms of image quality, it definitely is when it comes to practicality. At a constant f/2.8 aperture, the amount of light this little lens can capture is amazing. This will be the lens I keep attached to my camera by default. I still love my f/1.4’s, but unless I am on a low light situation or aiming for the most bokeh I can get, I rather use this amazing lens to gain the flexibility of the 18-50mm focal lengths without having to swap primes all the time.

This has become my primary walking around lens on an a6700. The pictures are sharp, even in low light. The f stop stays where it's set across all focal lengths, just as advertised. 2.8 is enough to get a nice, shallow depth of field when you want it. The focus motor is extremely quiet and is not heard on any videos I've taken. Overall, a superb lens and good value compared to the Sony equivalent.

The Sigma 18-50mm zoom lens is one of the most versatile, sharpest and affordable APSC lens you can buy. It is extremely light, suitable for gimbal video work and run and gun photography. The 18-50mm focal length is approximately a 27mm-75mm full-frame equivalent. This is a good range for architecture and landscape photography as well as portraits. While the lens doesn't have lens stabilization, if you have a camera with built-in IBIS like the A6600, A6700, FX30 you will be fine. The F2.8 aperture also gives you decent subject separation and good low light performance. I have the Sigma Trio prime lens but wanted a "one and done" lens that I can leave on my camera when traveling and get all of the different focal lengths.

I'm a photographer that shoot most of my stuff while hiking and travelling. Size, Performance and versatility are my three biggest factors. Usually, I have to compromise pretty heavily between them. Last year I hiked in Zion for a week with the Sony 16F2.8, Which was amazing for keeping the weight down on long high-mileage days, and virtually disappeared on the camera. This was in exchange for meh results and a lot of lens flare and aberration. This year I decided to suck up the size, and took a Sigma 16F1.4. The weight was reasonable, and the pictures were amazing, but the lens itself was a chonk and it was frequently in the way. Both of these lenses also lacked versatility, resulting in a lot of shots where I shot wide and sucked it up for a heavy crop in post. Enter the Sigma 18-50f2.8. Pictures are sharp as a tack, check. Common 55mm Filter size, check. Small package, check. Reasonable weight, functional zoom range, decently wide aperture etc. It frankly does it all, and does it without being fat, heavy, obtrusive or expensive. Is it my favorite lens? No. It's frankly, just a little boring. It doesn't have a niche. It is however ASTOUNDINGLY capable. It's great to watch a player who shoots from half court, has handles like a Globetrotter or will dunk over 3 defenders, but this lens is the guy on the team who is a solid 9/10 in every fundamental and plays everything textbook. It's not a "fun" lens, but it will absolutely get the job done capably in every situation, in a smaller package and half the price of it's competitors. The minor gripes: The focus/zoom rings are annoying. They're flush with the barrel and I frequently have trouble finding the right one by instinct. They're smooth, but not intuitive to find. The lens hood when stowed also gets in the way of the rings. There is also no image stabilization. As a photographer, this doesn't bother me a bit. If you're a videographer, this will probably be a big problem if you don't have in-body image stabilization or a gimbal.

Excellent lens always on a Sony A6600 kept under my driver seat. Small size. Nice 27-75 mm on an APS-C camera. Very crisp.

Good lens. Love it

I’m very satisfied with this 18-50mm f/2.8 lens. It’s an authentic product, brand new with a full box, and everything arrived in perfect condition. The packaging was very careful and secure, and the delivery was impressively fast. Overall, a great buying experience

L’un des meilleurs choix pour un boîtier APS-C en monture Sony E. Compact, léger et performant, il offre une qualité d’image impressionnante avec une netteté constante et une ouverture f/2.8 qui permet de bien gérer la lumière et d’obtenir un joli flou d’arrière-plan. Il est polyvalent et s’adapte facilement à de nombreux usages, que ce soit en photo ou en vidéo. Le rapport qualité-prix est clairement son point fort. On retrouve des performances proches d’objectifs bien plus chers, tout en restant accessible. C’est un objectif fiable, efficace et cohérent, qui s’impose comme une référence pour les utilisateurs APS-C.

My ZV-E10 pairs with this lens 90% of the time, shows how versatile it is. It's reasonably sharp for a small zoom lens. The weight and size are the main reasons I got it over the Sony and Tamron. As a beginner I felt the most important thing is taking camera out and use it, it's difficult to do so with heavier and bigger lens.

α6700と同時に購入しました。 今まで、α77とタムロンの標準ズームを主に使っていました。 Eマウントはコンパクトでいいですね。 画角はフルサイズ換算で27-75mmで標準ズームレンズ。F2.8通しは使いやすい。 旅行に持って行くには、これ1本で十分。動画の美しさも素晴らしいですよ。 （動画はZV1で撮ってますが。。。） 絞り開放でもAF精度が高く、ピントはバッチリあいます。 少々絞っても周辺が結構ボケるので慣れが必要かも。 イメージ通りの絵が撮れるよう楽しみながら撮っていきたいですね。 タムロンの17-70mmと迷いましたが、コンパクトさが決め手になりました。 注意点は、シグマはズームリングが純正やタムロンとは逆方向です。 長年、純正、タムロンレンズと使ってきたので、これも慣れが必要です。
