50-100mm F1.8 DC HSM | Art overview
The Sigma 50-100mm F1.8 DC HSM | Art is a 50–100mm f/1.8 zoom for APS-C cameras on Canon EF / EF-S and Nikon F, announced by Sigma in February 2016. 23 cameras we track take it without an adapter. It is discontinued, so new stock may be limited.
Going by its spec sheet, it suits portraits and low light. It is a weaker pick for rain and dust as well as travelling light.
New, it sells for £999 in the United Kingdom (Cambrian Photography); used and refurbished copies start at £549.99.
