Sigma's unique Art-line APS-C telephoto — constant f/1.8 from 50-100mm, like two fast primes in one.
The Sigma 50-100mm f/1.8 DC HSM Art launched in 2016 as one of the most unique zoom lenses ever made — a constant f/1.8 telephoto zoom for APS-C providing 75-150mm equivalent. It effectively replaces 50mm, 85mm, and 100mm fast primes.
Optically outstanding — Art-line quality throughout with sharp results from f/1.8. The constant f/1.8 provides shallower DOF than any f/2.8 zoom — approximately equivalent to f/2.7 on full-frame. HSM motor. No OS stabilisation.
Available for Canon EF-S and Nikon F DX mounts. 82mm filter thread. Approximately 1490g — very heavy for an APS-C lens. No weather sealing. DC — APS-C only. USB dock compatible. Minimum focus distance 95cm.
Available used at professional prices. The f/1.8 constant across 50-100mm is unique — no other zoom offers this. The weight is enormous for APS-C. Paired with the 18-35mm f/1.8 Art, it provides a complete f/1.8 zoom system. For APS-C shooters wanting maximum speed in a zoom.
