SIGMA 18-50mm F2.8 DC DN Contemporary Sony E 55mm

Versatile APS-C zoom for Sony E-mount

The Sigma 18-50mm F2.8 DC DN Contemporary covers a 27-75mm full-frame equivalent range on Sony E-mount APS-C bodies. Its constant F2.8 aperture supports low-light hand-held work and shallow depth of field. Weighing 290 grams, it suits photographers and videographers wanting a single lens for landscapes, portraits, street, architecture and events. It is not for shooters who need longer telephoto reach or full-frame image circles.

Bundled cap and hood protect the front element

The supplied cap and hood (type: Cap & Hood, colour: Black, diameter: 55 mm) shield the filter thread from flare, impact and dust during daily use. The hood also reduces stray light that can lower contrast in backlit scenes. No additional pouches, cases or software licences are included in the package. Buyers who want a dedicated carrying case or circular polariser must source them separately.

Compact barrel with 55 mm filter thread

The lens measures 5.5 x 4.0 x 4.2 inches and uses a stepping motor for fast, quiet autofocus suitable for video and moving subjects. Minimum focus distance is 12.1 cm with 1:2.8 maximum magnification for close-up work. The 55 mm thread accepts common screw-in filters without vignetting. The Sony E mount ensures native communication with APS-C bodies; full-frame users must engage APS-C crop mode. Build uses polycarbonate construction to keep weight under 300 grams.
