Autofocus LensLens Description
The Sigma 17-50mm F2.8 EX DC OS HSM is a wide to short telephoto zoom designed for cameras with a APS-C (1.5X) sensor. This bright constant-aperture zoom covers a 17 to 50mm focal-range. It provides the same field of view as a 25.5-75mm lens on a Full-Frame camera. An optical Image Stabilization System built into this lens compensates for camera shake.
This 3X zoom lens focuses down to 28cm from the imaging plane, capturing subject with a maximum 0.2X magnification. The lens supports autofocus and features a switch to disengage AF for focusing manually. A Super-Sonic motor inside the lens delivers very fast and relatively quiet AF.
The lens weighs 565g.
This version of the lens has a Pentax K mount. It directly attaches and is fully compatible with all Pentax K mount cameras with APS-C (1.5X) sensors. Sigma also makes this lens for Canon EF, Nikon F, Sony A and Sigma S mounts.
