About the 50-100mm F1.8 DC HSM Art Lens

The Sigma 50-100mm F1.8 DC HSM Art lens is a mid-range APS-C zoom lens that covers three popular short tele prime focal lengths: 85mm, 105mm and 135mm. Modeled after the popular Sigma Global Vision 18-35mm F1.8 DC HSM Art lens, the 50-100mm Art maintains a constant F1.8 aperture with exceptional brightness and resolution through the zoom. Outstanding features include three FLD (performance equal to fluorite) glass elements and one high-refractive index, high-dispersion glass element to minimize aberrations; a redesigned, enhanced Hyper Sonic Motor; a durable polycarbonate diaphragm; a versatile inner focusing and zoom design, and more. It is ideal for photographers and videographers, and available in Canon, Nikon and Sigma mounts.
