Bread and Butter Lenses
This is my main lenses, first one I got for my FX-30 and it remains my go to for a lightweight travel friendly lenses. Its not a full size lenses and you'll see that when its on a camera body it looks quite cute but thats just fine when you want something small. Just note because of its small diameter it can't fit a matte box but for the purpose I need this camera for; as a run and gun there's no need.Bokeh is great even at 2.8, its not the fastest in the world but its just about there that you can get some really good depth. On a CMOS sensor the 18mm is just enough to feel like you've got some space for a wide, but I do sometimes feel like I wish I could go a bit wider, until I just step back a foot or two. Full zoom is also plenty tight for most shots. Love this lenses.

I just bought this lens for my FX30 and wow! It's a sharp and lightweight beast with excellent build quality and performance. I can see why these lenses get so much hype. A great lens for people who are starting out and seasoned pros alike.

I bought this to replace the kit lens, its sharp, fast and makes for a perfect travel lens. You have a constant 2.8f aperture so lots of flexibility, especially in lower light. Took this on a trip to Asia and Australia and it was a great all rounder! highly recommend

Extraordinario lente
Reviewed in Mexico on November 16, 2023Verified Purchase
ÂżQuĂ© más se puede añadir de este lente que no se haya dicho ya? Sorprendentemente pequeño y ligero, es el compañero ideal para un equipo versátil y compacto con una cámara mirrorless, especialmente de la gama 6000 de Sony. Buen bokeh, gran nitidez y con todas las ventajas de un zoom de apertura constante. 9.5/10. Solo podrĂa pedirle dos milĂmetros más en el espectro ancho, hasta 16, para equipararlo el lente kit de las mirrorless de Sony, y que estuviera sellado para protegerlo de toda inclemencia climática, pero claro, esto viene a otro precio.
Por otra parte, sĂ, se queda corto para fotografĂa de interiores, astrofotografĂa y paisaje, y necesitarĂa algunos miĂmetros más para ser ideal para retratos, pero, aun asĂ es el lente ideal para uso general e, incluso, rendir decentemente en estos estilos complejos en cuanto a necesidades de distancia focal.

Best value lens in my kit
Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2022Verified Purchase
I'm a photographer that shoot most of my stuff while hiking and travelling. Size, Performance and versatility are my three biggest factors. Usually, I have to compromise pretty heavily between them. Last year I hiked in Zion for a week with the Sony 16F2.8, Which was amazing for keeping the weight down on long high-mileage days, and virtually disappeared on the camera. This was in exchange for meh results and a lot of lens flare and aberration. This year I decided to suck up the size, and took a Sigma 16F1.4. The weight was reasonable, and the pictures were amazing, but the lens itself was a chonk and it was frequently in the way. Both of these lenses also lacked versatility, resulting in a lot of shots where I shot wide and sucked it up for a heavy crop in post.
Enter the Sigma 18-50f2.8. Pictures are sharp as a tack, check. Common 55mm Filter size, check. Small package, check. Reasonable weight, functional zoom range, decently wide aperture etc. It frankly does it all, and does it without being fat, heavy, obtrusive or expensive. Is it my favorite lens? No. It's frankly, just a little boring. It doesn't have a niche. It is however ASTOUNDINGLY capable. It's great to watch a player who shoots from half court, has handles like a Globetrotter or will dunk over 3 defenders, but this lens is the guy on the team who is a solid 9/10 in every fundamental and plays everything textbook. It's not a "fun" lens, but it will absolutely get the job done capably in every situation, in a smaller package and half the price of it's competitors.
The minor gripes: The focus/zoom rings are annoying. They're flush with the barrel and I frequently have trouble finding the right one by instinct. They're smooth, but not intuitive to find. The lens hood when stowed also gets in the way of the rings. There is also no image stabilization. As a photographer, this doesn't bother me a bit. If you're a videographer, this will probably be a big problem if you don't have in-body image stabilization or a gimbal.
