OVERVIEW
The Sigma 50-120mm f/2.8 DC OS Contemporary lens is an exceptionally compact, lightweight telephoto zoom designed for APS-C mirrorless cameras. Measuring just 3.9 inches and weighing less than a pound, it combines a fast f/2.8 aperture with advanced optics and stabilization, making it ideal for travel, portraiture, and everyday handheld shooting.
High-Speed Autofocus & Video Performance
Utilizes a High-Response Linear Actuator (HLA) motor for fast, precise, and quiet subject tracking.
Minimizes focus breathing, ensuring smooth focus transitions for high-quality video production.
Advanced Optical Stabilization
Features an optical stabilizer powered by the OS2 algorithm, delivering 6.5 stops of shake compensation at 50mm and 4.5 stops at 120mm.
Enables sharp handheld photography in low-light conditions and at full telephoto reach.
Premium Optical Design
Incorporates 1 FLD, 3 SLD, and 4 aspherical glass elements to eliminate optical aberrations and distortion throughout the zoom range.
An 11-blade rounded diaphragm generates smooth, natural background blur (bokeh) to isolate subjects.
Durable, Weather-Resistant Construction
Dust- and splash-resistant structure provides protection when shooting in unpredictable outdoor conditions.
Water- and oil-repellent coating on the front glass element makes cleaning effortless.
