It can also be used for macro-style close-up photography owing to its maximum magnification of 1:2.81, which allows a minimum focusing distance of just 12.1cm. In terms of its bright F2.8 aperture, it makes for easier hand-held low-light shooting and provides a shallow depth-of-field for high-impact results.\u003cbr\u003e\nAutofocus is exceptionally fast and quiet thanks to the stepping motor, which can be particularly useful when shooting video, or fast-moving subjects such as children and animals. The lens' exceptionally small and light form factor that weighs less than 300g makes it perfect as a first interchangeable lens for various shooting situations, as well as an ultra-compact option for full-frame bodies2.\u003cbr\u003e\nFeatures\u003cbr\u003e\nLarge F2.8 aperture and superb image quality\u003cbr\u003e\nThe SIGMA 18-50mm F2.8 DC DN | Contemporary covers 27mm to 75mm in the 35mm format, and has a wide aperture of F2.8 throughout the entire zoom range. This makes it easy to achieve blurry backgrounds, which is ideal for shooting attractive portraits and close-ups. The bokeh is smooth and attractive so doesn't distract from the in-focus subject.\u003cbr\u003e\nExceptionally compact and lightweight body ideal for mirrorless cameras\u003cbr\u003e\nThe SIGMA 18-50mm F2.8 DC DN | Contemporary is remarkably compact, matching the portability of APS-C mirrorless camera bodies. This makes it a perfect workhorse lens that is ideal for general day-to-day use. The lens is currently the smallest and lightest in its class3, boasting a maximum diameter of 65.4mm, a length of 74.5mm and weight of 290g4, yet still maintains a constant aperture of F2.8.\u003cbr\u003e\nSupports various shooting situations\u003cbr\u003e\nThe SIGMA 18-50mm F2.8 DC DN | Contemporary has fast and near-silent AF that makes it perfectly suited to a range of photographic applications, including shooting in quiet environments, recording videos and capturing fast-moving subjects. This has been achieved by using a stepping motor as the AF actuator. Since it is small and lightweight, it can be used flexibly in situations such as handheld shooting, which requires high mobility, as well as gimbal shooting, one-person operation video shooting, and vlogging.\u003cbr\u003e\nContemporary Lens\u003cbr\u003e\nEngineered for today’s photographer who wants to do it all, our Contemporary line combines superior optical performance and compactness for high-performance lenses that cover a wide range of needs.\u003cbr\u003e\nDC For Digital\u003cbr\u003e\nThese are special lenses designed for APS-C size sensors so that the image circle matches the smaller size of the image sensor of most digital SLR cameras.
