Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 DC DN Contemporary Lens for Sony E, Bundle with Flashpoint Zoom-Mini TTL R2 Flash, 55mm Filter Kit, Cleaning Kit

A quintessential addition to any photographer's gear, the SIGMA 18-50mm f/ 2.8 DC DN Contemporary Lens for Sony E-mount is a versatile powerhouse designed for APS-C format mirrorless cameras. With a full-frame equivalent focal length of 27-75mm, this lens is adept at capturing everything from expansive landscapes to intimate portraits, dynamic street scenes to detailed architectural shots, and vibrant event photography to compelling videography. The lens's constant f/ 2.8 aperture across the entire zoom range ensures ample light gathering capabilities, facilitating hand-held shooting in low-light conditions and creating a beautifully shallow depth of field for striking images with smooth, out-of-focus backgrounds.

The optical design incorporates three high-precision aspherical elements, reducing the total number of elements needed and thus maintaining a lightweight profile without compromising image quality. In-camera aberration correction further refines the image by minimizing distortions and vignetting. Autofocus performance is both swift and silent, courtesy of the stepping motor technology, making it an excellent choice for capturing spontaneous moments and fast-moving subjects with minimal disturbance. This feature is particularly beneficial for videographers and wildlife photographers who require stealth and precision. The SIGMA 18-50mm f/ 2.8 DC DN Contemporary lens is engineered for portability and convenience, weighing in at less than 300g and measuring just 61.6 mm in diameter and 76.5 mm in length.

Its compact size belies its robust construction, with a barrel made from Thermally Stable Composite (TSC) material that offers durability and thermal stability akin to aluminum. Strategic use of metal in the internal structure enhances rigidity, ensuring the lens can withstand the rigors of frequent use. Designed with versatility in mind, the lens boasts a close minimum focusing distance of 12.1 cm and a maximum magnification ratio of 1:2. 8 at the wide end, inviting photographers to explore macro photography with ease. When paired with the SIGMA fp camera, the combined weight is a mere 712g, offering a lightweight solution for full-frame shooters using the lens in crop mode.

This bundle enhances the lens's capabilities with the inclusion of the Flashpoint Zoom-Mini TTL R2 Flash, which provides additional lighting options for photographers. The 55mm Filter Kit expands creative possibilities and protects the lens, while the Cleaning Kit ensures your equipment remains in pristine condition. The SIGMA 18-50mm f/ 2.8 DC DN Contemporary Lens for Sony E-mount is a compact, lightweight, and high-performing lens that supports a wide array of shooting situations, from casual photography to professional video production, making it an indispensable tool for creators seeking quality and versatility.
