Offered here with a Canon RF-mount, this lens provides a versatile full-frame equivalent zoom range of 29-80 and a wide constant aperture of f\/2.8 throughout the entire zoom range. The lens design includes three high-precision glass-molded aspherical elements coupled with a special low dispersion element. Together they minimize the total number of elements for superb optical quality without excessive weight. Autofocus is exceptionally fast and quiet thanks to the lens's stepping motor, which can be particularly useful when shooting video or fast-moving subjects such as children and animals. An ultimate workhorse, the lens features a minimum focusing distance of just 4.8\", enabling it to be used for macro-style close-up photography, and the lens is also outfitted with a rounded seven-blade diaphragm for a pleasing bokeh quality.\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp\u003eStandard zoom lens is designed for APS-C-format Canon RF-mount cameras and provides a 35mm equivalent focal length range of 29-80mm.\u003cbr\u003e  Constant f\/2.8 maximum aperture is well-suited for working in low-light conditions and provides greater control over the focus position when using shallow depth of field techniques.\u003cbr\u003e  Three high-precision glass-molded aspherical elements are used to help limit distortion and spherical aberrations and contribute to greater overall sharpness and accurate rendering.\u003cbr\u003e  Special Low Dispersion (SLD) element reduces chromatic aberrations and color fringing.\u003cbr\u003e  Super Multi-Layer Coating minimizes flare and ghosting for improved contrast and color accuracy when working in strong lighting conditions.\u003cbr\u003e  In-camera aberration correction further eliminates optical imperfections such as distortion and vignetting.\u003cbr\u003e  Stepping motor with nearly silent autofocus that makes it perfectly suited to a range of photographic applications, including shooting in quiet environments, recording videos, and capturing fast-moving subjects.\u003cbr\u003e  Minimum focusing distance of 4.8\" and a 1:2.8 maximum magnification ratio benefits working with close-up subjects.\u003cbr\u003e  Rounded seven-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sigma","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51499931369789,"sku":"585972","price":11499.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0688\/5870\/8285\/files\/ce5356773c093a00315ced7ead3f66b6.png?v=1773574271","url":"https:\/\/www.icilylive.co.za\/products\/sigma-18-50mm-f-2-8-dc-dn-contemporary-lens-for-canon-rf-1","provider":"Icily Live","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
