Good lens

Nice addition to the a6000 lens arsenal. Have been looking for a light weight lens in the 18-50 to 70mm range that was built for the small sensor, at a decent price point. Only thing missing is VC/OSS.

Excellent lense!

If you're looking a daily shooter/most scenarios kind of lenses this is an amazing one. The pictures quality is fantastic. The autofocus is silent when it comes to video. Maybe not the fastest compared to the Sony version but then again you can buy two lenses and complete your set for the price of one Sony lens. For me It's worth the compromise. The build quality is very good, it doesn't feel cheaply made. It's made in Japan. And it has the perfect weight for a do-it-all lens. It's always on my camera.

Loving this lens.

This is the perfect lens for me. I was surprised by the small form factor. It is perfect for the canon R7. It's the perfect form factor. Light, sharp and at 18 to 50 it can cover a number of shooting situation. At 2.8, it is great at low light and, fast on the focus. Get this lens! It's a absolute game changer.

Returning to Photography - Versatile Lens

I haven't been into photography for over a decade, but started traveling again lately and wanted better shots than I could get on my phone. I ended up going with a Sony A6400 and this Sigma 18-50 lens. I was looking for something versatile to be my primary travel lens and this 100% fits the bill. I haven't shot much with it yet, but so far its been great! The F2.8 provides decent bokeh for portraits, and the autofocus has been quick and quiet.

Great travel lens

I would recommend this lens for anyone who is looking for a small compact zoom lens for traveling or everyday carry without adding too much bulk. If you own all fujifilm zoom lenses in the past you might take a minute to get used to the fact that the zoom on this lens is opposite from all other lenses you own.

Great Main Lens

a sharp light weight lens with good indoor capability. It will become my main lens of choice because it provides high quality output and the ability to roughly frame almost any photo.

This is a great little lens. I own the Sony 16-55 f/2.8 g but I bought this lens for when I want to travel light.

Excellent travel lens!

The video reviews are spot on with this lens. It's lightweight, compact and exceptionally sharp compared to the Fujifilm 18-55mm f2.8-4 kit lens. Having the zoom ring turn the other way is distracting at first but you get used to it. I have this mounted on my X-S10 and is honestly a great travel combo. This would fit this body more since you have the SLR-like controls.

Great Action Lens for Sony APS-C

Great lens, great focal length. Used it at the at the 5 km Cross Country Championship in Boulder last weekend. Perfect to get into the action, but wide enough for personal shots as well.

Amazing for the price

Amazing budget friendly lens. Recently picked up an a6400 and this lens is just a killer combo with it. The sharpness on it is amazing and I can somewhat do some macro photography as well. Super versatile and amazing for the price. Highly recommend if your looking for a low price-high quality lens.

The Best Budget Friendly Standard Zoom for A6xxx

An amazing all around lens. Almost the perfect APS-C lens for your E-mount camera. Image quality is great & F/2.8 is very useful on a zoom lens. And at such a great price. A few compromises for sure, 18 mm isn't wide enough for some people and some shots that even I want. With my A6600 the lack of stabilization isn?t a huge issue. But if you have a 6100/6400 this may be a bit of an issue, especially with video. But the benefits are a compact, light weight lens that is very affordable with excellent image quality.

Small, sharp, and well made.

I bought this lens for the small size and large aperture (for a zoom). It balances perfectly on my A6600 and is easy to carry. The lens is sharper than I expected with the only compromise being distortion, a good trade off. I prefer 28mm equiv to 24mm equiv so that was a non-issue for me. The lens feels solid and well built. I've already made pictures I'm quite happy with.

Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 DC DN.

A large F2.8 aperture zoom lens that need never leave your camera
This exceptionally small, light and bright standard zoom for crop-sensor mirrorless cameras is the ultimate workhorse lens.

SIGMA's first APS-C size mirrorless zoom lens has a versatile full-frame equivalent zoom range of 27-75mm, which makes it ideal for a wide range of photo and video applications including landscapes, portraits, street photography, architecture and events. It can also be used for macro-style close-up photography owing to its maximum magnification of 1:2.8, which allows a minimum focusing distance of just 12.1cm. In terms of its bright F2.8 aperture, it makes for easier hand-held low-light shooting and provides a shallow depth-of-field for high-impact results.

Autofocus is exceptionally fast and quiet thanks to the stepping motor, which can be particularly useful when shooting video, or fast-moving subjects such as children and animals. The lens' exceptionally small and light form factor that weighs less than 300g makes it perfect as a first interchangeable lens, as well as a sub-lens for full-frame bodies, as well as for various shooting situations.

Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 DC DN

Brilliant Image Quality.

The SIGMA 18-50mm F2.8 DC DN | Contemporary covers 27mm to 75mm in the 35mm format, and has a wide aperture of F2.8 throughout the entire zoom range. This makes it easy to achieve blurry backgrounds, which is ideal for shooting attractive portraits and close-ups. The bokeh is smooth and attractive so doesn't distract from the in-focus subject.

The lens's three high-precision glass-molded aspherical elements coupled with the minimization of the total number of elements yields superb optical quality without excessive weight, and the use of in-camera aberration correction further eliminates optical imperfections such as distortion and vignetting. This has all been made possible by the latest optical design technology at SIGMA's only production base in Aizu, where all SIGMA lenses are built.

Brilliant Image Quality.

Exceptionally Compact & Lightweight.

The SIGMA 18-50mm F2.8 DC DN | Contemporary is remarkably compact, matching the portability of APS-C mirrorless camera bodies. This makes it a perfect workhorse lens that is ideal for general day-to-day use. The lens is currently the smallest and lightest in its class, boasting a maximum diameter of 61.6mm, a length of 76.5mm and weight of 290g, yet still maintains a constant aperture of F2.8.

To keep the lens as light as possible, SIGMA constructed the body from carefully selected materials. A polycarbonate called Thermally Stable Composite (TSC) was used for the construction of the barrel, which is sleek, robust, and importantly has a thermal conductivity close to that of aluminum. This ensures stable performance and good operability when used in changing temperatures. By deliberately using metal for some of the internal structure, the parts could be much thinner and have a higher rigidity, ensuring the lens can stand up to frequent, heavy use.

Exceptionally Compact & Lightweight.

Versatile, With Fast, Quiet Autofocus.

The SIGMA 18-50mm F2.8 DC DN | Contemporary has fast and near-silent AF that makes it perfectly suited to a range of photographic applications, including shooting in quiet environments, recording videos and capturing fast-moving subjects. This has been achieved by using a stepping motor as the AF actuator. Since it is small and lightweight, it can be used flexibly in situations such as handheld shooting, which requires high mobility, gimbal shooting, one-man operation video shooting and vlogging.

With an emphasis on making the lens as versatile as possible in a wide variety of shooting conditions, SIGMA designed the lens with a minimum focusing distance of 12.1 cm and magnification of 1:2.8, making it also ideal for close-ups.

Note: The minimum focusing distance and magnification are both values at the wide end.

Combined with the "Pocketable Full-Frame" SIGMA fp, the total weight is only 712g, and it can also be useful as a sub lens for full-frame cameras (used in crop mode) to keep weight down. The 18-50mm F2.8 DC DN | Contemporary, which combines compactness, light weight, high performance, and large aperture, supports a variety of shooting situations, from introductory single-lens mirrorless cameras to video shooting and combination with full-frame cameras.

Versatile, With Fast, Quiet Autofocus.
