Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 DC DN
This compact zoom lens is built for Sony E-mount APS-C mirrorless cameras and delivers a constant f/2.8 aperture across its range. It covers a 27-75mm full-frame equivalent view suitable for landscapes, portraits and street work. The lightweight design weighs under 300g and makes a capable first interchangeable lens or a lightweight companion on full-frame bodies.
Replaces slower variable-aperture zooms
A constant f/2.8 aperture removes the exposure shift common with kit zooms that dim at the long end. The 1:2.8 maximum magnification and 12.1cm minimum focus distance add genuine close-up capability that basic zooms lack. The upgrade is worthwhile when you need consistent low-light performance and shallow depth of field throughout the zoom range.
Easy E-mount installation with included accessories
The lens mounts directly to any Sony E-mount body with no adapter required. Stepping motor autofocus runs quietly for video and fast-moving subjects. The kit adds a 55mm UV filter, a 55mm circular polariser and a flexible lens shade that all attach to the front thread; ensure each is threaded squarely to avoid cross-threading or vignetting at 18mm.

Questions about this item
What filter thread size do the included filters and shade attach to?
The kit includes 55mm threaded filters and a flexible shade that mounts on the same 55mm front thread.
How is the lens attached to a Sony E-mount body, and what step is often missed?
Align the white mount index on the lens barrel with the dot on the camera, twist until it clicks, then set the focus-mode switch to AF so the stepping motor can drive autofocus.
What regular care does the lens and its 55mm filters need over time?
Clean the front and rear glass elements and both 55mm filters with a blower and microfibre cloth; check the lens mount contacts and filter threads for grit before each use.
