SIGMA 18-50mm F2.8 DC DN | Contemporary | Leica L-Mount

Ideal for a variety of photo and video applications, including landscapes, portraits, street photography, architecture and events, the 18-50mm f/2.8 DC DN modern "Sigma" lens is a small, light and sharp standard zoom for crop sensor mirrorless cameras. Offered here with a Leica L-mount, this lens provides a versatile full-frame zoom range of 27-75mm and a wide constant f/2,8 aperture throughout the zoom range. The lens design features three high-precision glass aspherical elements combined with a special low-dispersion element. Together, they reduce the total number of elements and provide excellent optical quality without excessive weight. Autofocus is extremely fast and quiet thanks to the lens's stepping motor, which can be especially useful when filming or tracking fast-moving subjects such as children and animals. A great lens itself, with a minimum focusing distance of just 4.8 inches, making it suitable for close-up photography, and the lens is also equipped with a circular seven-blade diaphragm for a pleasing bokeh quality.

• The standard zoom lens is designed for APS-C format Leica L-type cameras and provides a 27-75mm equivalent focal length range.


• The constant f/2.8 maximum aperture is great for working in low light and allows for better control over the focus position, kai using shallow depth of field techniques.


• Three high-precision glass-cast aspherical elements are used to help limit distortion and spherical aberrations, contributing to greater overall sharpness and accurate imaging.


• A special low dispersion (SLD) element reduces chromatic aberrations and color fringing.


• Super Multi-Layer Coating reduces flare and ghosting to improve contrast and color accuracy when working in bright light.


• In-camera aberration correction further eliminates optical imperfections such as distortion and vignetting.


• A stepping motor with near-silent autofocus makes it ideal for a variety of shooting applications, including still photography, video recording, and capturing fast-moving subjects.


• The 4.8-inch minimum focusing distance and 1:2.8 maximum magnification ratio are useful for working with subjects up close.


• The rounded seven-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality.


• Compatible with Sigma UD-11 USB dock.
