Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 DC DN Contemporary Lens for Leica L Mount More Detail
Versatile zoom lens in crop sensor mode
With a combination of lightweight design, versatile zoom range and fast, near silent Autofocus system the Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 DC DN Contemporary Lens for Leica L Mount is adept in a variety of situations. The stepping motor will track fast moving subjects quickly and quietly, which is perfect for video, vlogging to camera and photographing people or other moving subjects. With such a lightweight design you can use the lens without the need for a gimbal when capturing movies and shoot handheld in low light, harnessing in-body stabilisation systems.
Versatility is further enhanced by the close 12.1cm minimum focus distance and large magnification at the wide end of the zoom range.
Large constant aperture and superb image quality
Sigma has designed the 18-50mm lens to offer a large f/2.8 constant aperture making it easier to separate your subject from a smooth out of focus background, particularly noticeable when capturing portraits or close-ups.
The optical design harnesses one SLD element and three aspherical lens elements providing excellent optical quality with minimal distortion or vignetting. The lens also utilises in-camera corrections to further enhance image quality straight out of camera.
Extremely compact and lightweight design
Despite boasting a fast constant aperture the Sigma 18-50mm measures 74.5mm long and weighs just 290g. This is made possible through the use of high quality polycarbonate called Thermally Stable Composite combined with some internal aluminium parts. The lens remains rigid, looks great, performs well and allows you to shoot throughout temperature changes, both indoors and out.

Our Verdict
The 18-50mm f/2.8 DC DN Contemporary lens arrives as Sigma’s first compact zoom for Leica L-mount cameras. It has been designed to be extremely small and lightweight, yet boasts a bright constant aperture throughout its zoom range and offers excellent results for both photos and videos. You can shoot video even in the quietest environments with a fast, near silent stepping motor used as the AF actuator. The lens will deliver excellent results whether you are recording fast moving subjects, vlogging or capturing photos of people and animals.
The short minimum focus distance gives you even more opportunities to explore your creativity, with Sigma employing high quality optics within a well constructed weather resistant barrel design for poor weather. The lens also has a Super Multi-Layer Coating, which helps to reduce ghosting and flare when shooting backlit subjects. Full L-mount compatibility is ensured with both AF systems and camera-based image corrections. This means your results will look great straight out of camera, with sharp details, low distortion or vignetting and you can use Face and Eye Detection with ease. For a versatile, lightweight zoom with excellent results, which you can use for a high variety of subjects look no further than this excellent option from Sigma.
