Sigma 50-100mm f/1.8 DC HSM Art Mid-Telephoto Zoom Camera Lens

The 50-100mm f/1.8 DC HSM from Sigma's Art Lens lineup is a mid-tele zoom lens that delivers prime lens-level image quality. This APS-C format mid-tele zoom lens offers a large F1.8 aperture throughout the zoom range and factoring in the APS-C increase, the lens covers a highly useful range of 75-150mm.

An enhanced and slimmer Hyper Sonic Motor (HSM) provide fast and accurate autofocus while 3 Premium FLD and 1 SLD Elements produce incredible image sharpness. That means the 50-100mm f/1.8 DC HSM lens covers the focal lengths of three prime lenses in one package: 85mm F1.8, 105mm F1.8, and 135 mm F1.8 (35mm equivalent). A true game-changer, this lens is ideal for portraits with subtle bokeh effects and more, and it sets a new standard for zoom lens image quality.

To help minimize axial and transverse chromatic aberration, this lens features an optimal arrangement of three FLD (“F” Low Dispersion) glass elements, one SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass element, three high-refractive index SLD glass elements, and one high-refractive index, high-dispersion glass element. By including one or more low-dispersion element in every element group, this lens ensures outstanding image quality throughout the zoom and focal range.

As with the previous SIGMA HSM, at any time during AF, users may access MF simply by rotating the focus ring. This feature makes faster focus adjustment possible, since there is no need to use the AF/MF focus mode switch. Also, the optional SIGMA USB DOCK allows the user to set the lens to conventional full-time manual focus override.

NOTE: The operation of full-time MF may vary based on mount type.
