Sigma 18-50mm F2.8 EX DC MACRO Pro Reviews

slrgear‘s review Edit Like Unlike

The Sigma 18-50mm ƒ/2.8 is a competent workhorse, probably finding its best application as a macro lens, where stopping down fully to ƒ/16 or ƒ/22 to get maximum depth-of-field doesn't rob too much sharpness from the image. The lack of image stabilization keeps the price low, and isn't missed terribly from this lens with its shorter range of focal lengths. There are certainly other options in this field, and if you don't want to spend top dollar, it's a good lens to consider.

Sigma's almost identical 17-70mm f/2.8-4.5 and 18-50mm f/2.8 siblings both look and feel like serious lenses. Neither one is truly a macro lens, despite that specification being in both names, but in other respects the prices are similar enough to allow a buying choice to be made simply by assessing the benefit of a longer zoom range versus a constant f/2.8 maximum aperture.

The Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 EX DC Lens contains a nice general purpose focal length range, is well-built and does not cost a fortune. Like Canon's EF-S Lenses, the 18-50 DC is compatible only with 1.5x/1.6x crop factor digital SLR cameras. Being sized for a smaller-format sensor allows a smaller and less expensive design to be used.
