Sigma 10-18mm f/2.8 DC DN Contemporary Lens for Fujifilm X Summary
Through its combination of build quality and unique features, the Sigma 10-18mm f/2.8 DC DN Contemporary Lens for Fujifilm X provides content creators with a versatile zoom, high-quality results and ultra portability. It’s so light that at launch this Sigma lens claims the title of world’s smallest and lightest ultra wide angle zoom lens for APS-C cameras, with an effective focal range of 15-27mm (full-frame equivalent).
Thanks to the inclusion of bright optics and a constant f/2.8 aperture throughout the zoom range, photographers can create expressive stills and video even during low light situations. The compact zoom from the Contemporary range weighs 260g, yet includes several special lens elements for razor sharp results. It also benefits from an 11.6cm minimum focus distance in order to provide additional versatility to capture close-up perspectives.
The focal range is well suited to anything from landscapes and travel, to video recording and online content creation, and the 10-18mm f/2.8 lens is also suitable for street photography, portraits, pets and food photography, to name a few.
If you shoot with a gimbal stabiliser utilising this lens creates an ultralight video setup, while the constant bright f/2.8 aperture is ideal for separating the subject from background distractions, whether shooting stills, movies or while vlogging.
Other benefits it provides include compatibility with electronic image stabilisation, aberration correction, DMF and AF+MF with select Fujifilm X mirrorless cameras, maintaining a wide field of view even when electronic image stabilisation crops into the image. This makes the Sigma 10-18mm f/2.8 DC DN a great choice for Youtube vlogging and other social content creation.
Sigma’s stepping motor technology is fully compatible with high-speed AF and delivers quick and quiet autofocus for both stills and video with sharp results across subjects you choose to capture.

Sigma 10-18mm f/2.8 DC DN Contemporary Lens for Fujifilm X in More Detail
New zoom option for X Series APS-C format cameras
The 10-18mm f/2.8 DC DN lens from Sigma complements existing APS-C Contemporary models, such as the 16mm, 23mm, 30mm, and 56mm fixed focal width mirrorless lenses for Fujifilm X. This enables creators to choose between a versatile zoom and bright fixed prime options, with a whole suite of compact lenses to suit every shooting situation.
Ultra compact and lightweight
At launch, the Sigma 10-18mm F2.8 DC DN | Contemporary is the world’s smallest and lightest ultra wide angle zoom lens for APS-C cameras, with a length of 62mm, a maximum diameter of 72.2mm and a weight of 260g. With such compact attributes, this lens can be carried around with ease, or attached to an APS-C camera and video gimbal stabiliser to create an ultra-portable video setup.
Capture sharp results across the entire image
By utilising unique optics, which have been designed to correct lens aberrations, the Sigma 10-18mm f/2.8 DC DN Contemporary Lens produces sharp images across the entire frame.
The use of an aspherical element with large eccentricity and refractive index as the first lens element has enabled an optical construction with a reduced number of elements. This has enabled Sigma to design a lens that can produce high resolution images, whilst remaining compact and lightweight.
Close minimum focus distance with high magnification
Enjoy additional versatility to create expressive close-up shots thanks to an 11.6cm minimum focusing distance, when shooting at the ultra wide 10mm end of the zoom. With a magnification ratio of 1:4, you can capture unique portraits, still life shots and much more besides.
Newly developed push-on petal type hood
A newly developed push-on petal type hood is included, which is attached onto the lens using a spring and lever system. This new design reduces the size and thickness of the hood in order to match the compact size and remain inconspicuous when mounted.
Ideal for photo, video and content creation
With ultra-wide focal length, portable body and razor-sharp results, the SIGMA 10-18mm F2.8 DC DN | Contemporary is remarkably portable for anything from landscape and travel, to interiors and street photography.
It also provides impressive video performance thanks to a bright f/2.8 aperture, which also makes it eminently capable of capturing excellent results in low-light environments, and for creating a shallow depth-of-field.
What’s more, the ultra wide angle of view is ideal for handheld vlogging, as it captures both the subject and the environment.
Minimises focus breathing
Sigma has designed this Contemporary model to suppress focus breathing, creating a natural-looking focus shift when recording video, without unnatural changes to the angle of view when pulling focus.
Support for camera functionality
The Sigma 10-18mm f/2.8 DC DN Lens for Fuji X Mount is compatible with electronic image stabilisation, aberration correction function, DMF, and AF+MF on supported cameras. The advantage using an ultra wide angle lens of this calibre, is that it provides a generous angle of view, even when an electronic image stabilisation function crops the image.
Stepping Motor technology
A fast and quiet stepping motor is employed to deliver precise AF when shooting stills and video, which is fully compatible with in-camera AF tracking modes.
