Sigma has announced the 50-120mm F2.8 DC OS Contemporary lens, rounding out its trio of f/2.8 zooms for APS-C cameras. This new telephoto lens offers an equivalent focal range of 75-180mm, joining the existing 10-18mm and 18-50mm lenses. Its design emphasizes portability, measuring only 10cm in length and weighing a mere 13.4oz (380g). This makes it considerably more compact and lighter than comparable full-frame lenses.
The Sigma 50-120mm F2.8 DC OS Contemporary is set to be released on October 22 for Sony E, Fujifilm X, and Canon RF camera systems. The lens is priced at $799, offering a more affordable alternative to pricier full-frame options, which can exceed $2,000. This release aims to enhance the appeal of APS-C camera systems by providing high-performance, versatile optics at a more accessible price point and weight.
