Ames, Iowa - Sigma 18-50 f/2.8 DC DN Contemporary Lens for Canon RF - May 2025

When I got my new mirrorless camera, I got a little adapter so that I could use the pricy Canon EF lenses from my 5D Mark III on the new R10 (which only uses RF lenses). The problem is that it wasn't quite as crisp for photos as I would like it to be, so I did a bunch of research. The Sigma 18-50 f/2.8 DC DN Contemporary Lens for Canon RF had great reviews, and had a similar-ish zoom range to my EF lens.

I cracked it out the day that it came in the mail, and took some sample images around the house. Here are a few from that batch.

Thank goodness A forgot to water this plant. Made sort of an interesting test of depth.

This is the back of one of our porch rocking chairs. I just like the design of the weave on each cable-y thing.

I don't really have a wait to explain what this is (it will appear again a few photos down). When C was about 5 or 6, all he wanted were some tools, so we got him a little tool set. He went through a phase where he kept nailing or screwing items into boards and then wrapping metal wire around them. This one has been out on our deck for forever, hence the rust.

The sweetest, dopiest dog!
