Exceptionally fast and quiet AF
With the lens’ stepping motor the Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 DC DN contemporary has been constructed to provide exceptionally fast and quiet autofocus. This quiet design is especially useful when capturing video footage. The fast-acting focus also enables you to capture fast-moving subjects.
Constructed with strong lightweight material
The construction of this lens has been taken into careful consideration. The barrel of the lens has been constructed with a polycarbonate called Thermally Stable Composite (TSC). This material has a thermal conductivity close to that of aluminium. This lightweight material has allowed Sigma to keep the overall construction of this lens very lightweight.
Stands up to frequent use
Sigma has saved weight in the overall construction of the barrel. This has allowed them to use metal components in the internal structures of the lens. The lens can demonstrate stable performance while standing up to frequent and heavy use. The key features gained by the TSC material means this lens is also good at operating in changing temperatures.
