This lens focuses and zooms internally meaning the lens length doesn’t change while zooming or focusing… which I love. The focusing ring is silky smooth not too loose while still being easy to manipulate.
The manufacture of this lens is thoroughly top notch and befitting of it’s high-end reputation. The build of the Sigma 18-35mm is absolutely superb. Build and CraftsmanshipĪ warm and cuddly feeling of love struck me as soon as this lens left the box. This makes the lens ideal for an enormously wide range of lighting situations while allowing the photographer take control of focusing depth. The constant 1.8 maximum aperture means that the low light capabilities of this lens rivals anything on the market in this focal range. The lens is branded by Sigma as a premium grade option for landscapists, low light shooting, as well as a general multi-purpose wide angle utility lens with low distortion and aberrations. And it makes me beyond happy to tell you now… it definitely does not disappoint. As part of Sigma’s highly regarded “ Art” line it is counted among what is considered to represent the cream of the crop from this manufacturer as far as build and image quality are concerned. This excitement is further amplified when you know that new lens is considered top of the line.Įnter the 18-35mm f1.8 DC HSM A from Sigma. Getting new glass (or even new to you) is a very exciting time for serious shooters. More often than not, that next step manifests itself in the form of a new lens. When this happens, the dedicated photographer begins looking for the tools he or she will need in order to take that “ next step” and move forward in their journey. That being said, there does come a time when you have pushed yourself and your equipment to its maximum. These tools aren’t just the gear you happen to be using but also the skills you have acquired along the way. There’s a certain feeling of pride that comes from knowing you have made the best image you can possibly make with the tools you have.
