A constant f/2.8 standard zoom built for APS-C mirrorless bodies, sold here in Sony E-mount. It covers a 27-75mm full-frame equivalent range in a body small and light enough to leave on the camera all day. The fast aperture across the whole zoom, close 4.8-inch minimum focus and quiet stepping motor make it a strong one-lens kit for travel, events and video. Rivals like the Sony 16-55mm f/2.8 G and Tamron 17-70mm f/2.8 offer wider range or stabilization but are larger, heavier and pricier; the Sigma trades reach and stabilization for compact size.

Sigma 18-50mm f2.8 DC DN Contemporary Lens for Sony E with Advanced Accessory and Travel Bundle Ideal for a wide range of photo and video applications including landscapes, portraits, street photography, architecture, and events, the 18-50mm f/2.8 DC DN Contemporary Lens from Sigma is a small, light, and bright standard zoom for crop-sensor mirrorless cameras. Offered here with a Sony E-mount, this lens provides a versatile full-frame equivalent zoom range of 27-75mm 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.
