A handy telephoto zoom lens which would come in handy in any kit, the Sigma 50-100mm f1.8 lens combines a versatile short to mid-telephoto zoom range with a very fast f1.8 constant aperture. This makes the lens great for shooting handheld in varied lighting conditions, as well as providing you with depth of field control, so you can blur out your backgrounds at your will. The zoom range is great for indoor sports and other mid-range applications and has been popular among portrait photographers, due to its ability to easily attain a tight crop without encroaching on a model’s personal space.

As with any member of Sigma’s premium Art series, the 50-100mm f1.8 lens provides exceptional image quality, often at a fraction of the price of competitors. Making this quality possible are the 3 FLD and 1 SLD elements which Sigma have used in the optical construction. Super multi-layer coating has been applied to various lens elements, which limits the appearance of flare and ghosting. Physically, the lens is tough yet not too heavy, thanks to the build from thermally composite materials, combined with more traditional metals.
