Sigma has introduced a compact 50-120mm f/2.8 DC OS Contemporary lens that is ideal for APS-C cameras. This lens, weighing in at just 390g (.85 lbs), is designed to fit within a palm-sized body, making it significantly lighter than bright telephoto lenses typically found in the market. The lens is compatible with several mounts, including Sony E, Fujifilm X, and Canon RF, and it completes Sigma's Contemporary "holy trinity" of lenses alongside the 10-18mm f/2.8 and 18-50mm f/2.8.

With a focal length equivalent to 75-180mm in full-frame terms, the lens offers a compact design for APS-C cameras while still providing impressive performance. The lens features a high-response Linear Actuator autofocus motor and Sigma's latest stabilization technology, delivering 6.5 stops of stabilization at 50mm and 4.5 stops at 120mm.

Sigma has also focused on minimizing focus breathing for video shooters, ensuring a more streamlined experience. With a price tag of $799 / £699, the 50-120mm f/2.8 lens is a compelling option for photographers seeking a high-quality APS-C zoom that is both compact and powerful.
