Product description for Sigma AF 18-50mm f/2.8 DC DN Contemporary Fujifilm X
A fast zoom for all occasions The particularly small and lightweight standard zoom for mirrorless APS-C cameras is the ultimate always-on lens. SIGMA's first zoom specifically for mirrorless cameras with APS-C sensor has a versatile zoom range of small-format equivalent 27-75mm. This makes it ideal for a wide range of photo and video shooting, from landscape, portrait and street photography to architectural photography and reportage. With a magnification of up to f/2.8*1, it can also be used for close-up photography down to a closest focusing distance at 12.1cm. The widest aperture of F2.8 not only allows hand-held shooting even in poor lighting conditions, but can also provide effective cropping of the subject by playing with a shallow depth of field.
The autofocus is extremely fast and quiet - thanks to being driven by a stepper motor. This proves particularly useful in photos and video recordings of fast-moving subjects such as children and animals. Its light weight of just 290g and compact dimensions make it a perfect choice as an always-on Lens that can handle a wide range of shooting situations. It can also be used as a "back-up lens" on a full-frame camera*2. *1 The specifications for magnification and closest focusing distance apply to the shortest focal length. *2 Select the cameras' APS-C mode for this purpose.
1. High speed of F2.8 and outstanding image quality The SIGMA 18-50mm F2.8 DC DN | Contemporary covers the focal length range between 27 and 75mm (equivalent to 35mm format) - with a continuous speed of F2.8. This makes it ideally suited for portrait and close-up photography, where the subject needs to be cropped against a blurred background that does not distract from the subject in focus due to the attractive, soft bokeh. With three high-precision, bright-pressed aspheres and a reduction in the number of optical elements overall, the Lens achieves superior image quality at a low weight. In-camera optical noise correction further helps eliminate aberrations such as distortion and vignetting. This performance is made possible by advanced lens development technology at SIGMA's sole manufacturing facility in Aizu, Japan, where all SIGMA lenses are produced.
2. Exceptionally Lightweight and Compact - Ideal for Mirrorless Cameras The SIGMA 18-50mm F2.8 DC DN | Contemporary is remarkably lightweight and compact, making it the perfect match for mirrorless APS-C cameras. It is the perfect standard zoom, ideal for everyday use and up to a wide range of shooting situations. The Lens is currently the smallest and lightest in its class *1, with a maximum diameter of 65.4mm, a length of 74.5mm and a weight of 290g *2, while maintaining a constant aperture of F2.8.
To keep the weight down, SIGMA has constructed the Lens using specially selected materials. The lens barrel is made of TSC (Thermally-Stable-Composite) polycarbonate, which is slim and robust and, most importantly, has a thermal conductivity similar to that of aluminum. This ensures high reliability and smooth operation under changing temperatures. For some internal components, SIGMA made a conscious decision to use metal, as these parts require less material while offering greater strength. Thus, the lens is designed to withstand more intensive use. * 1 As an autofocus zoom lens with a continuous aperture of F2.8 for APS-C (as of October 2021, from SIGMA). * 2 Data refers to the L-mount lens.
3. Suitable for a wide range of shooting situations The SIGMA 18-50mm F2.8 DC DN | Contemporary has a fast and nearly silent autofocus that makes it recommended for a wide range of photographic applications, including shooting in quiet environments as well as shooting video and photos that require fast focus tracking. This is achieved by using a stepper motor to drive the focus. Because the Lens is small and lightweight, it can be used very flexibly in situations that require high mobility, or when shooting from hard-to-reach shooting positions, gimbal shooting, one-man video recording, and vlogging.
The most versatile possible range of uses was a priority in the development of the Lens, and so SIGMA chose a design with a closest focusing distance of 12.1cm and a maximum magnification of f/2.8*, making it ideal for close-up shooting. * The specifications for magnification and closest focusing distance apply to the shortest focal length.
Together with the extremely compact full-frame SIGMA fp camera, this results in a total weight of just 712g - so the Lens can also serve as a "back-up" on a full-frame camera in crop mode if, for example, the weight of the equipment needs to be minimized.
The 18-50mm F2.8 DC DN | Contemporary, which combines compact dimensions, light weight, high performance and fast speed, handles a wide range of tasks primarily with entry-level mirrorless models in both photography and video shooting, but also with full-frame cameras.
Other product features: Lens design: 13 elements in 10 groups, with one SLD lens and three aspherical lens elements Internal focusing Compatible with high-speed autofocus Stepping motor Supports aberration correction * Function only available in combination with supporting cameras. In addition, correction capabilities may differ depending on camera model. Supports DMF and AF+MF Super multi-layer coating Tulip-shaped lens hood (LH582-02) Dust- and splash-proof Compatible with SIGMA USB Dock UD-11 (sold separately / only for L-Mount) Reflection and ghosting minimizing design Each individual Lens passes through SIGMA's proprietary MTF measurement system Seven rounded aperture blades High-precision and robust brass bayonet

Sigma AF 18-50mm f/2.8 DC DN Contemporary Fujifilm X
Meisterleistung von Sigma
Ich schreibe diese Bewertung sieben Stunden nach dem Erhalt des Objektivs, am offiziellen Release-Tag. Kann ich da überhaupt objektiv sein? Egal - dieses neue Sigma ist der Hammer! Scharf wie eine Festbrennweite schon bei Offenblende, wertig verarbeitet, tolles Bokeh, unglaublich leicht und kompakt. So ein Objektiv hätte ich nicht für möglich gehalten! Der Zoomring fühlt sich sehr gut an. Einziges Manko ist der Fokusring, der fällt mir für meine grobe Motorik etwas zu klein und wenig griffig aus. Da ich aber selten manuell fokussiere, kann ich damit trotzdem gut leben. Unterm Strich ist das Sigma 18-50mm DC DN für mich das neue ultimative APS-C Objektiv.
Einen riesigen Daumen hoch auch Foto Koch & die unglaublich schnelle Lieferung pünktlich am Erscheinungstag!
I can recommend this product!

Sigma AF 18-50mm f/2.8 DC DN Contemporary Fujifilm X
Super verarbeitetes Reise / Immerdrauf / Standard ZOOM Objektiv
Habe das Objektiv als "leichte" Alternative zu den Fuji Zooms erstanden. Benutzt wird es an der XS 10, die ja einen 5 Achsen Stabi eingebaut hat, somit ist auch mit längeren Verschlusszeiten noch gut auch ohne OIS aus der Hand zu fotografieren. Super Verarbeitung / Made in Japan / nach Registrierung 3 Jahre Garantie
Werde mal nach einigen Testaufnahmen im WW und Tele e.t.c. kurz in +/- meine Erfahrungen schildern. Pros: erstmal für ein Objektiv mit 2.8 Blende ein sehr geringes Gewicht (speziell als Immerdrauf auf Reisen) Bildqualität ausgezeichnet für ein Zoom, teilweise genauso gut oder besser wie meine Festbrennweiten von Fuji 35mm F2 und 23mm F1.4 R Natürlich hat das 1.4 r ein weicheres Bokeh, aber das ist natürlich der großen Blendenöffnung zu verdanken! Autofokus gut, Augenerkennung funktioniert Farbwiedergabe neutral, ist ja aber subjektiv, mit den Fuji Filmsimulationen.. Highlight auch die geringe Naheinstellgrenze im WW, fast schon Makro .. allerdings bekommt man je nach Lichteinfall schnell Abschattung ins Bild.
Was mir nicht so gefällt, aber nach Gewöhnung gut funktioniert: * Zomm Richtung gegen den Uhrzeigersinn, warum weiß nur Sigma * Kein Blendenring, geht aber mit vorderem Einstellrad natürlich auch * kein Stabi eingebaut, stört mich aber bei der XS 10 mit Stabi im Gehäuse nicht. * etwas mehr Tele wäre schon gut, aber dann wirds ja auch wieder größer und schwerer ...
Ist als Immerdrauf / Reisezoom / Streetfotografie absolut zu empfehlen.
Hoffe konnte auch bei der Entscheidung etwas helfen!
