![]() ![]() When it came to close up shots at 1.8 the images were even more sharp and produce an amazing bokeh but my only issue was that when the lens is on auto focus mode it wouldn’t focus on the subject the fully, which happened very rarely. Most of the images that I captured with the Sigma 18-35mm lens produced beautiful results, even when the lens shutter was fully opened, the images were extremely sharp, clear, and crisp. This lens also has a glass display indicating the focal length range which comes to use. ![]() For example, when using the Canon L series lenses if you attempt to go past the minimum or maximum focal range the turning motion would stop, but if you were to do this with the Sigma 18-35mm lens you can continue to turning the focal ring past its minimum or maximum focal length. It has one button on the lens that you can switch between auto to manual mode and also turning on the focal and zoom rings feels smoothly done with a turning motion on the ridged rubber grip and doesn’t feel stiff when you’re adjust the manual focus. When I added my battery pack I instantly noticed the weight increase which isn’t necessarily a bad thing if you don’t mind the extra weight but it’s something to keep in mind if you’re using a gimbal, steadicam, or a slider since those pieces of equipment normally have weight limits. I find that the weight of the camera felt very comfortable as far as using it for handheld videography but it is quite a large lens yet lightweight. The sigma 18-35mm F1.8 is made out of metal and weighs 28.6oz (which is about 1.78lbs), it gives off a simplistic yet sleek and stylish look which nicely coordinates with most cameras due to the black on black finish.

Let’s talk about it. Upon discovering that there was a lens specifically designed for crop sensor cameras that provided outstanding photography and video quality, I wanted to put it the test. ![]() So one might ask, “Why review a lens 5 years after its initial release”? Well to answer that question I’m relatively new in the field of videography and photography so I’m still discovering what’s out there in the world of camera hardware. This lens is best suited for photography, close-up shots, landscapes, low light photography, and works great for video production. This lens is specifically designed for crop sensor (APS-C sized) cameras and provides a focal length of 18-35mm which equates to 28.8-56mm, which I used for my Canon T7I. Meaning being the first wide angle zoom lens to have a large aperture of 1.8 while providing a fast, continuous, and bright auto-focus as well as producing sharp images. I would say look no further when it comes to the Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 DC HSM Art lens, which has coined the reputation of being the “First and fastest of its kind”. Whether you’re capturing photos or videos, we all would love to have that one universal lens that we could use that would just about do it all and help us achieve that perfect shot. Being an owner of a crop sensor camera can be rather challenging at times when it comes to narrowing down the right choice for a lens, we know the slight challenge of using a full frame lenses and having to frame our shot just right. ![]()
