Sigma 18-50mm f2.8 DC DN Contemporary to be announced soon
#1
I did enjoy the Sigma 18-50mm f2.8 DC on my Canon EOS 350D and 450D, way back when. 
Now Sigma will bring a lens like that to mirrorless APS-C.

Specs:
13 elements in 10 groups
minimum shooting distance 12.1cm (wide angle) / 30cm (telephoto)
maximum shooting magnification 1: 2.8 (wide angle) / 1: 5 (telephoto)
filter diameter 55mm
size φ65.4 × 74.5mm (E-mount version φ61.6×76.5mm)
weight 290g.

It's not clear whether it's FF or APS-C.
Hopefully FF :-)

Sigma's APS-C designation is "DC". "DN" = "for mirrorless".

And then they kinda fused it with their 18-50/3.5-5.6 lens, split the difference aperture-wise and got the 18-50/2.8-4.5 Smile

But even the old 3.5-5.6 was not entirely bad, at least on 6MP; I used one briefly way back on Nikon D70. Of course the new lens will be miles better than any of those.

Thanks for the clarification.
I guess it was expected.
It's quite small for what it is. Too bad it only starts at 18mm though.

Makes you wonder who will put this lens on a Leica CL ;-)

(yes, it'll also be available in E-mount)
