Sigma 210101 18-35mm F1.8 DC HSM Lens for Canon - Black

Product Information

Being long on the wide end and short on the long end, 18-35mm still works well for many landscape photography uses. TSC combines the characteristics of metal and polycarbonate and has the thermal expansion/contraction properties of aluminum. With the introduction of this model, Sigma has the best performing zoom of its type. The DxOMark score of 25 points puts well ahead of both the full-frame Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8 L II USM and the Tamron SP 24-70mm f/2.8 Di VC USD (though bear in mind those lenses become the equivalent to a 38-112mm on a Canon APS-C body).

Increasing the focal range and maintaining the optical performance seen in the 18-35mm 1.8 would be a challenge, more so than cost or size but Sigma will continue to push the boundaries on what lenses can do." and what does "Contemporary" mean for a lens designation? Will it still be contemporary in 10 years? Are the "A" and "S" lenses not just as contemporary?). Since 1982, PCMag has tested and rated thousands of products to help you make better buying decisions. See how we test. The landscape photography use I mentioned above is only the tip of the iceberg for this lens' complete usefulness list.The Sigma 18-35mm feels like two or three prime lenses in one variable zoom, which makes it a great all-around video lens. Flare slowly increases as the aperture narrows until becoming noticeable at f/8 and by f/16, strong flaring is obvious.

This lens is too big and heavy for what it does, and its zoom range is foolish. 18-35mm is very useful for full-frame —but this lens can't handle full-frame; it only works from 28mm to 35mm on full-frame. The examples below show movie mode AF on the Canon EOS 100D, which allows refocusing on a new subject by touching the rear screen during recording. Its Hybrid AF system is also one of the better implementations of movie focusing on an SLR. Overall the Sigma does OK here, at least for an SLR lens that's primarily designed for stills photography. Focusing is pretty positive, but the motor can be heard in a quiet environment. Sample 1 - Quiet indoor environment Oversampling 5.1K to 4K is apparently less taxing on the camera than 8K to 4K, so the R5 does not heat up or require periodic cool downs as it does when shooting “4K HQ” video. The only limitation with “4K Crop” then is the R5’s 30 minute record time limit, which is standard in all their non-cinema cameras. Downsides of the Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8A clear distance scale in both feet and meters runs from the closest focusing distance of 0.28m / 0.92 ft to infinity. Weighing in at 810 grams and measuring 12cm in length, the Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 DC HSM is a big lens given its modest focal length. As seen in the photos below, it complements a camera like the Canon EOS 700D / Rebel T5i very well. By the way, you may enable Movie Cropping and shoot “4K Crop” video with any lens, not just APS-C. I’m simply pointing out that — unlike still photos — 4K video on the R5 is higher quality than you may expect. No overheating in 4K Crop Canary Palm at f/1.8 at 35mm. 24MP DX Nikon D7100, f/1.8 at 1/640 at ISO 100. Camera-original LARGE BASIC JPG (5 MB; the palm isn't flat so much isn't in focus). Sigma provides as many focus distance markings as can reasonably be fit into the space available for them in the window.

The Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 is an affordable lens with fantastic “Sigma Art” image quality, sharpness, and performance when shooting video on the Canon EOS R5. Its large aperture is well suited for shooting video in low light environments, its “35mm effective” 27-52mm focal length is just right, and you may capture high quality 4K video without overheating.
