📖 Overview
The Sigma 18-50mm F3.5-5.6 DC is a compact, budget standard zoom for APS-C DSLRs, covering an 18-50mm (roughly 27-75mm equivalent) range with an 8-element/8-group design that uses aspherical elements to control aberrations. It focuses to 25cm for about 0.29x maximum magnification, takes 58mm filters, and has a 7-blade aperture stopping to f/22. Autofocus is body screw-drive rather than an in-lens HSM motor, with no optical stabilization or weather sealing.
