In case you missed it, SIGMA Corporation of America, the US subsidiary of SIGMA Corporation, recently announced the SIGMA 18-50mm F2.8 DC DN | Contemporary for FUJIFILM X Mount mirrorless cameras. This addition allows users to enjoy a high-performance, high-quality, compact standard zoom lens in native mount on their X Mount system.
The announcement of this new lens expands the SIGMA lineup for X Mount, joining the three fast-aperture prime lenses, the 16mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary, 30mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary, and 56mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary, which were announced for the FUJIFILM X Mount platform earlier this year. The lineup consists of focal lengths that provide a complete system for mirrorless camera users. Now, with the addition of the 18-50mm F2.8 DC DN | Contemporary, SIGMA offers, a new option for this compact photographic system.
Key Features
Large f/2.8 aperture and superb image quality
The compact body offers an easy-to-use zoom range of 27mm to 75mm in the 35mm format, a wide aperture of f/2.8 throughout the entire zoom range that allows you to enjoy bokeh expressions, and sharp images achieved by the latest optical design technology. With a minimum focusing distance of 12.1 cm and a maximum magnification of 1:2.8, it allows photographers to take advantage of the compact shooting system, such as shooting close-ups of your subject.
Exceptionally compact and lightweight body ideal for mirrorless cameras
The main feature of this new lens is its overwhelmingly compact and lightweight body that maximizes the excellent portability and advantages of an APS-C mirrorless camera. Despite its large aperture of f/2.8, it is the smallest and lightest in its class boasting a maximum diameter of 61.6 mm, a length of 76.8 mm and weight of 285 g. This makes the large-aperture standard zoom easy to carry around in daily life.
This exceptionally light, bright, and sharp standard zoom for crop-sensor mirrorless cameras is the ultimate workhorse lens.
The SIGMA 18-50mm F2.8 DC DN | Contemporary lens for FUJIFILM X Mount will retail for $549 and will be available through authorized retail partners in early December 2022.
