## Description

18-50mm F2.8 DC DN Contemporary for Sony E

Review: Absolutely a great all in one lens 🔥 Totally worth it - This is absolutely one of the best lenses you can get for in APS C camera. It's basically equivalent to 28-75mm in full frame. With the constant aperture of F/2.8. So it allows a good amount of light in and is great because of the constant aperture, compared to variable ones. The build quality is very nice. It seems pretty well built. Although this is their contemporary series, it still feels premium. One of the best things is the light weight and small size compared to the full frame lenses I used to use. It makes it much more light to carry around, and makes me want to go out and shoot more. Very sharp, with nice Bokeh. Overall, I would give this lens an 8.5/10 or more; probably a solid 9.
Review: Fantastic Portrait Lens – Sharp, Compact, and Affordable! - The Sigma 56mm f/1.4 lens for Sony E-Mount has quickly become one of my favorite lenses for portrait photography. Its performance, combined with its compact size, makes it a fantastic choice for anyone looking for a high-quality prime lens. Here’s what I love about it: Incredibly Sharp: The image quality is superb! It delivers razor-sharp focus with beautiful bokeh, especially wide open at f/1.4. Perfect for portraits or low-light shooting. Compact & Lightweight: Despite its high performance, it’s very compact and lightweight, making it easy to carry around for all-day shoots. Fast and Quiet Autofocus: The autofocus is fast, accurate, and quiet—ideal for both photography and video work. I’ve had no issues with focus hunting, even in challenging lighting. Affordable for the Quality: For the price, the Sigma 56mm offers incredible value. It rivals much more expensive lenses in terms of quality, and it’s a must-have for any Sony shooter looking for a versatile prime lens. Solid Build: The lens feels durable and well-built without being bulky. It’s also well-balanced on my Sony mirrorless camera, making it a joy to use. Overall, if you’re looking for a prime lens that delivers sharp images, smooth bokeh, and excellent performance at a reasonable price, the Sigma 56mm f/1.4 is a top pick. Highly recommend it for portrait photographers and everyday use!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Deserved WOW...
*by J***O on April 14, 2022*

Remember the Wow? OM Systems started the promotion of their new OM 1 camera touting it as a WOW equipment piece. Many in the YouTube and camera review world doubted this decree. Many found it hard to believe that much improvement could be attained despite a revamped sensor, a much-tightened menu system, and other advances. I am wondering if when testing their new camera maybe, JUST MAYBE, OM Systems viewed testing results thru the rose-colored lens of the Sigma 56mm 1.4 lens. Of course, not really rose-colored, but WOW. 2X WOW. I purchased the Sigma 56mm 1.4 for my OM 1 and I wasn’t ready for a number of good points. The lens is—at once—small, light, and VERY QUICK to acquire accurate focus. , Unboxing—the lens began my OMG day. The lens is much more diminutive than you may think. And while being solid with great glass, somehow it’s as light as its size promises. Imaging—absolutely fabulous photos! Good contrast and true colors. Even better than the Olympus 40-150mm 2.8. More natural yet still vibrant. I am past surprised, I am at WOW. Bokeh—even before you get to F1.4 you have smooth and very noticeable bokeh. Caught me off guard. Open to 1.4 and “oh! SOB! I’ve got something here.” Now there’s only one more on the TO DO list: OM Systems needs to collaborate with Sigma and form a serious partnership like Sony did with Zeiss. Come on Sigma, OM Systems let’s form a trust! Everybody will be happy $$$ !!
