About the Sigma 50-100mm f/1.8 DC HSM Art Lens for Nikon F
The Sigma 50-100mm f/1.8 DC HSM Art is a unique telephoto zoom designed for APS-C (DX-format) Nikon DSLRs. It offers a bright constant f/1.8 aperture throughout the zoom range, allowing fast shutter speeds in low light and shallow depth of field for portraits and events. The optical design includes SLD and FLD glass elements to minimise chromatic aberration, and the Hyper Sonic Motor provides quick, quiet autofocus with full-time manual override. As part of Sigma's Art line, it prioritises optical performance and build quality, with a robust construction and a zoom lock switch to prevent lens creep. It does not have optical stabilisation.

Compatibility
Fits Nikon F-mount APS-C (DX) DSLRs. It can be mounted on full-frame Nikon F-mount bodies, but it is a DX lens, so its image circle does not cover full frame; use DX crop mode to avoid vignetting (on some third-party lens/camera combinations, DX crop may need to be selected manually). Uses 82mm filters and does not have optical stabilisation.
