Sigma Corporation announces another lens to add in the Fujifilm X-Mount line-up. Its their large aperture zoom lens for APS-C camera bodies, 18-50mm F2.8 DC DN | Contemporary.

An 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, and as a sub-lens for full-frame bodies, as well as for various shooting situations.

Main features of the lens:

• Lens construction: 13 elements in 10 groups

• Inner focus system: Compatible with high-speed autofocus

• Stepping motor: Compatible with lens aberration correction, Support DMF and AF+MF
