As the smallest and lightest F2.8 constant-aperture standard zoom in its class for APS-C mirrorless cameras, it pairs outstanding optical quality with a portable form factor measuring just 61.6mm x 76.8mm. Its 13-element, 10-group construction incorporates three high-precision glass-moulded aspherical elements and one Special Low Dispersion element, ensuring sharp, contrasty images with minimal chromatic aberration.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eOptimised Autofocus for FUJIFILM X Mount\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSigma developed a custom AF control algorithm specifically for the FUJIFILM X Mount, fine-tuning both AF drive speed and camera communication to deliver responsive, accurate autofocus across a wide range of shooting scenarios. The high-speed stepping motor operates in near silence, making it equally at home during video recording, vlogging, gimbal use, and one-man production work. It fully supports both AF-S and AF-C continuous autofocus modes, giving photographers and videographers reliable subject tracking in demanding situations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eVersatile Shooting with Macro-Style Close Focus\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith a minimum focusing distance of just 12.1cm at the wide end and a maximum magnification ratio of 1:2.8, this lens opens the door to impressive close-up and near-macro photography without the need for additional accessories. Super Multi-Layer Coating suppresses flare and ghosting even in challenging lighting, while 7 rounded diaphragm blades produce smooth, circular bokeh to isolate subjects beautifully. Compatible with in-camera lens aberration correction (distortion and vignetting) on supported FUJIFILM cameras, and manufactured at Sigma's own Aizu facility in Japan, this lens combines precision engineering with real-world versatility for landscapes, portraits, street, travel, events, and content creation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConstant F2.8 maximum aperture across the full 18-50mm zoom range (27-75mm full-frame equivalent)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmallest and lightest F2.8 constant-aperture standard zoom for APS-C mirrorless cameras in its class\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom AF algorithm with high-speed, near-silent stepping motor optimised for FUJIFILM X Mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1:2.8 maximum magnification at wide end with 12.1cm minimum focus distance for close-up shooting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e13 elements in 10 groups including 3 aspherical and 1 SLD element with Super Multi-Layer Coating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7 rounded diaphragm blades for smooth, pleasing circular bokeh\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTIPA World Award winner for Best APS-C Zoom Lens 2022, manufactured in Aizu, Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:085126585754\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMPN: 585975\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Teds Electronics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43446185787453,"sku":"SIGMA-18-50-FUJIFILM-US","price":492.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1726\/0467\/files\/2391314.jpg?v=1786381821","url":"https:\/\/www.thetedstore.com\/products\/sigma-18-50mm-f2-8-dc-dn-contemporary-lens-for-fujifilm-x","provider":"Teds Electronics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
