Why the Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 is still AMAZING in 2021

I'll say it again, it will always be good

Anyone.. With this lens can the other apertures 2.8 3.5 5.6 and so on , maintain it aperture as you change between 18-35mm? Thank you.

I REAAAALLLLYYY want Sigma to remake BOTH of these for Sony E mount with modern manufacturing methods.

it will always be good

You are my go to channel for clear, concise, in-depth gear reviews. Thanks for creating these videos!

Is Amazing end expensive also in 2023....

Hey, thanks for this video. I have an 80D, and I would like to know if you'd recommend getting the 18-35 Sigma as I initially thought of and later getting something like an R7 or if I should wait until I can afford to get into Sony's ecosystem with an FX30. I never messed with Sony, and I'd be happy to hear your opinion. Your footage looks so smooth and creamy.

Thanks for this video. I'm really considering this lens for an EOS R7 and everything so far is pointing to a YES BUY IT! lol

I own the Sigma 17-70mm for my Nikon D5500. I intend to purchase the Sigma 17-50mm lens and Sigma 18-35mm and Sigma 24-35mm and Tamron 20-40mm for my two future Sony A74 cameras

Could this lens be used for astrophotography? I'm new to the hobby and I'm curious about this because of the fast aperture... TIA

great pair with fx30, if sigma release DG DN version

The sigma 18-35 is for noobs. Also why would anyone hire you with it when every hack and his dog has it. There’s nothing to differentiate yourself as a cinematographer. This lens is for hacks.

If Sigma made a non-telescoping 24-70, it would be a wrap and I'd never use any other lens!

Why not a full frame 24-70 sigma on red komodo? It's not as wide but longer in length? What's are the pros of the sigma art 24-70 quality wise over the sigma art 18-35mm ?

Recently got the Vespid Primes. Really love them so far. For a lot of projects there is one downside. When using tools like gimbals there is often no time to rebalance. All the zoom options from the DZO lineup are pretty heavy and not ideal for a small ronin rs2 setup with float or advanced grip. So the 18-35 has won again and will stay in my kit. Its unbeaten when it comes to weight, sharpness and performance.

Amazing

I learnt a lot in video thank you. I just purchased one

I'm even using it on a full frame! At 35mm f1.8, it gives a soft but pronounced vignette that gives off a old-school feel to it. I got mine at half price, second hand. Best investment I made for my DSLR

do you know a ultra low budget setup without too much autofocus noise?

After my house got flooded and lost all my gear, this was the first piece I replaced.

Cool post I like the Simga 18-35 very much in 2021 too, but I'll use it for taking photos On the Canon Eos 90D or the M6 ​​MKII Greetings from Germany Markus

I've had my Canon R5 for a week now, got a 1.4/50mm sigma lens for it in the package, and it's solid (A little grumpy on the autofocus but is probably me being new to the camera) - But need a wide lens as well, are there any points beside weatherproofing/internal stabilization, to getting this compared to the similar RF lenses from Canon that cost... 3 times as much? Cheers

are you using a gimbal or just handheld in these video shots?

Hi there,
How did you fix this lense's focus breathing whilst taking photos or filming

It’s the sharpest lens I have, but I never want to use it. The output is boring.

I personally find there to be quite a bit of character to this lens. The barrel distortion is something that I really love, gives you something close to anamorphic with the distorted sides, and the out of focus I find to be more on the creative/creamy side and not clinical like something you'd find with a Rokinon. I've had this bad boy for years and this is the first time I've ever heard anyone say this lens "lacks character".

Wishing for native Fujifilm X mount....

A question from an amateur, will you get a wider field of view if you use this lens together with a Metabones/Canon 0.71x Speedbooster adapter on a RED Komodo in 4K mode? And how about vignetting? Thanks! 😄

I just uploaded a short film shot entirely with this lens on a RED.

Great lens!

i want sharp images when i take pictures

so it will work great on a canon 80d

love it more and more every day

Hey guys, I just bought the Sigma 18-35 in a Nikon F mount for my Sony a6500 as I got a really good deal for it. I thought it'll be easy to find a good adapter since the MC 11 works really well for the canon version of the 18-35, BUT unfortunately I've had no luck so far in finding a good Nikon F to Sony E adapter. It would mean the world to me if y'all could help me out. Thanks in advance. I've read some horror stories of faulty adapters burning out Sony bodies so any help from an experience user would be most welcome.

If I were to put this lens on the BMPCC6K, what would the focal lengths be? Is there a crop because it is not a full frame lens? Or does it stay 18-35

What is your suggestion if I buy it for the Canon R6?

I don't know whether it is me or my American thought process, this dude talks too freggen' fast and I can't understand half of what he was saying. Maybe his European accent was in it's way or that is to be blamed, IDK. However, the idea is to make your video palatable to everyone.

Also, this lens will resolve good at 1080P well and at 4K you'll start to see vignetting.

We work in 8K acquisition. However, we do NOT recommend this lens for 8K workflow as it does NOT resolve at 8K.Therefore, doesn't affect our workflow.

This is a great lens for S35 sensors. Of course, the stills version has AF, while the cine version does not. I get close to parfocal performance on my copy. Would love to see Sigma release a mid-range FF cine zoom. Something like a 24-70mm true cinema, parfocal zoom. Thank you for posting, CVP!

thanks CVP , very informative video , since bmpcc 6k has al less smaller sensor size than c300 and komodo does this mean it has no vignetting issue with the lens ? what is your observation ? thanks

True words to this lense. I use this on my RED DSMC 1 and 2 cameras - Love this special for documentary and real-estate work.

Nice to see an in-depth review of an older lens. Good job!

Because there is no competitors in the market for this focal range and fast f1.8

In my opinion, this is the best lens for APS-C cameras, I'm absolutely in love with it

sigma vs tamron 2021 . . .tamron win

We need this lens on X-mount 🙏 @ Sigma

Love this lens, its all I ever used on my GH4 for 2 years. Now I've switched to the S5 and will be selling this for the Sigma 24-70. Very hard to part ways but really don't need need it anymore.

Nice, short but complete overview. Many Thanks.

My girlfriend is using the 18-35mm F1.8 on her Sony a6600 (for stills though) and she loves it. The colors, the contrast, the micro contrast, the bokeh.

She hopes for an re-release in the DN Line so she can use it without the adapter but other than that, she's highly satisfied.

It was my second lens that I've ever bought. It's still amazing!

I dont know why Sigma is not updating this lens for mirrorless....

Is it a 18-35mm by FF standard or should we add the camera manufacturer's crop factor ?
