Sigma’s 50-120mm F2.8 is 'an APS-C legend in the making' — and a tempting full-frame alternative
The 50-120mm F2.8 with 75-180mm equivalent focal length is much smaller, lighter and cheaper than full-frame equivalents.
Sigma's newest 50-120mm f/2.8 DC OS Contemporary zoom lens, designed for APS-C cameras, is set to hit Sony, Canon, and Fujifilm mirrorless systems starting October 22. Weighing just 13.4oz (380g), the lens costs $799 / £699 (AU$1,300) and boasts an equivalent focal length of 75-180mm. This lens competes favorably with Sigma's existing 10-18mm and 18-50mm f/2.8 APS-C zooms in terms of both weight and cost, providing APS-C camera users with a more compelling suite of lenses.
Unlike Nikon users, Sony, Canon, and Fujifilm fans can rejoice in this compact, lightweight, and affordable full-frame alternative. Although 50-120mm f/2.8 lacks the 200mm telephoto reach of some full-frame lenses, reviewers suggest that the lens is built to a similar standard as their more expensive counterparts. Early reviews are enthusiastic, with one Reddit thread even comparing the lens to an "APS-C legend in the making."
