Sigma 18-50mm F2.8 DC DN | C for Sony E

Searched online for the best everyday lens for the Sony a6700 and most recommendations were for this lens. I have found it to be a very small and lightweight lens ideally suited to carrying around and although it doesn’t have built in stabilisation it doesn’t really need it with this camera. It gives a good sharp image and I have been very happy with it.

f/2.8 is Enough: Pretty awesome lens, I know there's the new Sigma 17-40mm f/1.8 but in my honest opinion this lens still stands the test of time. The portability is just much better and doesn't weigh much. You really get a whole host of benefits and zoom ranges which at an aperture of F2.8 is still more than enough in my opinion. Sharpness & OSS: Sigma is known for making sharp lenses in the centre and the edges which still excels in. Image stabilisation is of course not ideal with no OSS, but if that's a feature you want then buy the Tamron 17-70mm f/2.8 which uses VC (Vibration Compensation), not the best OSS but is much better than nothing at all and you get more zoom. Overall: The best lens is the one you actually use, and this lens definitely makes a great frequent companion for a whole host of scenarios, arguably and still is the best APSC lens you can buy. Worth every penny

Amazing product, very clear picture it is taking, its worth buying. i am very happy with this. thanks

I've had this lens for approximately 6 months and absolutely love it. I had a few reservations since it has a slightly more limited zoom range than its main rivals (Sony and Tamron) and doesn't have lens stabilisation. However, I have no regrets, the zoom range is just fine if you are prepared to move your position when composing and the image quality of the lens means I can work at slightly higher ISO values to avoid the risk of camera shake. The other great thing about this lens is the really short minimum focussing distance which allows you to get really close to your subject if needed, it almost feels like a macro lens. I have a Sony full frame camera but find myself using this camera/lens combination more and more due to it's smaller size and lighter weight.

Just perfect for photos, but without stabilisation for video

Seriously, I didn’t expect it to be this good. I thought this was an entry lens for aspc cameras but man was I wrong. This thing outperforms nearly all the lenses I currently have that cost an arm and a leg compared to this. The value for money is insane. Through the roof. I could not ask for anything more. Fits perfectly on my Sony a6700 ASPC camera and is as sharp as ever. It is not heavy either making my everyday camera set up very ergonomic and convenient to carry. It functions amazingly. Aperture is incredible, zoom is amazing and sharpness is very consistent even in 50mm. Incredible I would recommend this to anyone looking for a good versatile aspc lens.

I was looking for a general purpose lens to go with my new Sony a6400. I liked the fact that it had an f2.8 aperture throughout which makes it good for bokeh (blurred background in portraits) and was good for land scapes too. I would have preferred 16 to 50mm for a wider field of view, but the f2.8 swayed me, being better than f4 in low light situations. Performance is excellent. Crisp clear images, very good colour rendition and overall very good value. For me it is just right.

This little lens is the most versatile and useful one in my collection. I had been using the Tameron 17-70 but this lens is so much nicer to use (I'm using it with my Sony ZVE-10). Nice and small (and light), it really punches above its weight, giving creamy bokeh that rivals my 30mm Sigma Prime. For most people, this could well be the only lens you'll ever need. The bayonet mount is weather sealed but you have to remember that the rest of the lens isn't. Having said that, I use this lens in my wood shop and even though there's a lot of dust around, this lens is fine. I honestly can't find anything about this lens I don't like

Good lens. Love it

L’un des meilleurs choix pour un boîtier APS-C en monture Sony E. Compact, léger et performant, il offre une qualité d’image impressionnante avec une netteté constante et une ouverture f/2.8 qui permet de bien gérer la lumière et d’obtenir un joli flou d’arrière-plan. Il est polyvalent et s’adapte facilement à de nombreux usages, que ce soit en photo ou en vidéo. Le rapport qualité-prix est clairement son point fort. On retrouve des performances proches d’objectifs bien plus chers, tout en restant accessible. C’est un objectif fiable, efficace et cohérent, qui s’impose comme une référence pour les utilisateurs APS-C.

My ZV-E10 pairs with this lens 90% of the time, shows how versatile it is. It's reasonably sharp for a small zoom lens. The weight and size are the main reasons I got it over the Sony and Tamron. As a beginner I felt the most important thing is taking camera out and use it, it's difficult to do so with heavier and bigger lens.

This is absolutely one of the best lenses you can get for in APS C camera. It's basically equivalent to 28-75mm in full frame. With the constant aperture of F/2.8. So it allows a good amount of light in and is great because of the constant aperture, compared to variable ones. The build quality is very nice. It seems pretty well built. Although this is their contemporary series, it still feels premium. One of the best things is the light weight and small size compared to the full frame lenses I used to use. It makes it much more light to carry around, and makes me want to go out and shoot more. Very sharp, with nice Bokeh. Overall, I would give this lens an 8.5/10 or more; probably a solid 9.
