Overview

The Sigma 50-100mm 1.8 DC HSM Art is a premium mid-telephoto zoom lens designed for APS-C sized sensors. Part of the Sigma Global Vision Art Line, the 50-100mm 1.8 is the second lens to feature a 1.8 aperture all the way through it focal length and factoring in the APS-C increase, the lens covers a highly useful range of 75-150mm.

An enhanced and slimmer Hyper Sonic Motor (HSM) provides fast and accurate autofocus while 3 Premium FLD and 1 SLD Elements produce incredible image sharpness. Like all SGV lenses, each lens is hand-crafted in Sigma's factory in Aizu Japan, individually inspected before shipping and works with the Sigma USB Dock (sold separately) to update firmware and focus calibrate.

Features

Designed to minimize flare and ghosting
From the start of the design process, SIGMA measured flare and ghosting to establish an optical design that is resistant to strong incidental light sources such as backlight.

FLD Glass, SLD Glass, And High-Refractive Index, High-Dispersion Glass Help Minimize Aberrations
To help minimize axial and transverse chromatic aberration, this lens features an optimal arrangement of three FLD ("F" Low Dispersion) glass elements, one SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass element, three high-refractive index SLD glass elements, and one high-refractive index, high-dispersion glass element. By including one or more low-dispersion element in every element group, this lens ensures outstanding image quality throughout the zoom and focal range.

Rounded diaphragm
The 9-blade rounded diaphragm creates an attractive blur in the out-of-focus areas of the image.

Diaphragm Unit Designed For Smooth Operation
The diaphragm blades feature Carbon Feather film, and the diaphragm unit features a new polycarbonate made with fluorine. Thanks to these innovations, diaphragm operation is exceptionally smooth even during continuous shooting, while the new polycarbonate is exceptionally durable and wear-resistant.
