    Sigma DC A 18-35mm f/1.8 HSM is a auto focus wide angle zoom lens for aps-c cameras.

    Optical design

    Full frame equivalent focal length is 27.0-52.5 mm. Has 9 aperture blades, with this amount of aperture blades you will be satisfied with the result. Wide open, subjects located outside the depth of field are shown very blurred. It is a ring-type ultrasonic motor designed to provide quick and silent focusing.

    Physical characteristics

    121 mm long, requires consideration if you want to carry in the camera bag. Weights 810 grams so it is a heavy lens, consider using its own lens bag. With a lens filter diameter of 72 mm you are one step from the next standard filter size, buy step-up ring and bigger filter but you can chose from plenty options.

    One of the best5.0/5

    One of the best I purchased this lens as a replacement for all my wider lenses (Sigma 19mm and 35 mm) and could not have made a better choice. The Sigma's are great lenses but the 18-35 is in another league. Replacing all my more open lenses with this one lens makes for more fun shooting instead of carrying around a bag of lenses. It is on my camera more often than any other lens. This lens is very sharp. All the reviews about this lens are true. Very little CA and across the images, very sharp even in the corners. Great color. It is a big lens. It is a heavy lens. I use this lens with a Sony A6500 via a Sony LAEA3 adapter. Other adapters are available to allow its use on E-mount cameras. With the adapter, not all focus options are available. Auto Focus is good and the LA-EA3 adapter does its job without loss of light on E-mount cameras. I highly recommend this lens. Makes for a great go to lens.

    What the Foveon sensors should have had from day 1.5.0/5

    What the Foveon sensors should have had from day 1. Incredibly sharp throughout the range with an almost total lack of aberrations. Foveons sparkle with clean and sharp light, and this delivers. The story of those bodies would probably look a lot different with this mounted as a kit lens.

    Love this lens5.0/5

    Love this lens It's become my favorite lens on my Canon M50 with speed booster. Crispy sharp and with the speed booster the lens is like 20-40mm f1.2!!! makes this lens very versatile!!! Thanks for the variable ND filter! Which made this an awesome deal!
