SIGMA 18-50mm F2.8-4.5 DC HSM F/SONY, F/PENTAX

The Sigma Corporation is pleased to announce the new Sigma 18-50mm F2.8-4.5 DC HSM for Sony and Pentax.
This standard zoom lens is compact and light-weight and offers a large aperture of F2.8 at 18mm wide angle, making it suitable for photography with a shallow depth of field. Two SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass elements and three aspherical lenses provide excellent correction for all types of aberrations. The Super Multi-Layer Coating reduces flare and ghosting. High image quality is assured throughout the entire zoom range. The lens design incorporates inner focusing and inner zooming systems. The overall length of the lens does not change during focusing and zooming, ensuring convenient handling. This lens has a minimum focusing distance of 30cm (11.8 inches) throughout the entire zoom range and a maximum magnification ratio of 1:4.1. The incorporation of HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor) ensures a quiet and high speed AF.
