Sigma’s 18-50mm F2.8 DC DN is the first third-party lens to be licensed to use Canon’s RF mirrorless lens mount. It, along with the forthcoming 10-80mm F2.8, four F1.4 DC DN primes and Tamron’s promised 11-20mm F2.8, make the APS-C end of the system much more credible as an option for enthusiast photographers.
As with Canon’s own RF-mount lenses, any distortion correction parameters do not appear to be embedded in the Raw files, meaning we’ve had to step away from our standard Capture One processing protocol. We’ve been using Capture One for the past few years because it lets us use the corrections as planned by the lens maker as part of its design (Adobe typically creates its own correction profiles). In this instance Sigma provided us with a profile to allow the images to be rendered properly in Camera Raw.
Have a look to see how the 18-50mm F2.8 behaves on the Canon EOS R7, a camera that finally seems on the brink of gaining the lenses to live up to its enthusiast capabilities.

Our DPREVIEW Tribute:
After nearly 25 years of operation, DPReview closed on 10 April 2023. This difficult decision was part of the annual operating plan review that parent company, Amazon, shared earlier this year.
Over the course of 25 years, DP Review built up a reputation as being one of the most informative places to go for information about that new camera or lens you’re after. DP Review began as an independent reviews site based in the UK in 1998, the brainchild of Philip and Joanna Askey, but it was eventually purchased by Amazon in 2007 and relocated over to Seattle in the USA in 2010.
Cheers DPReview – thanks for the great work and content that guided photographers, videographers and techno junkies the world over!
