Great lens for wide-angle wide-aperture needs, fully recommended
Style: Canon Set: US Version
I'm an amateur photographer, and as such, I appreciate the versatility that this lens gives me. First, the wide aperture at a wide angle, something that is hard to find even on primes, and second, the fact that is not a prime lens and allows you a certain degree on zooming, albeit not much. but who would ask for more of this. Ok, but if you're on this page you already know what's the appeal of this lens, you just want to know if it's worth it. My verdict is: it is worth it. The build quality is great, as is its visual appearance. It's a professional-looking lens. And the feel in your hands is amazing. The zoom and focus rings are smooth to handle, and with a very nice grip thanks to the rubberized surface. The image quality is very nice, comparable to prime lenses they say. I don't have enough experience to say it myself, but I can say the image quality is superb. It's sharp, and the bokeh at f1.8 is really nice. That was one of the reasons I wanted a wide aperture lens, the other being shooting in low light conditions, which I already did and was amazing. A friend saw my pictures and thought I had taken a tripod with me to achieve the level of exposure I got from a night landscape. My only reservation when buying it was the fact that there are some worrying reviews out there of people that has had the bad luck to get a copy of this lens that presents some issues with auto-focus. Fortunately that was not my case, but I certainly wouldn't dismiss those concerns. If you can, buy this at store where you can try the exact lens you'll be taking home. In any case, this issue appears to be uncommon. Finally, only buy this lens (or any lens for that matter) if you know it provides the features you look for the most in your photography endeavors. If you shoot mostly at a wide angle setting, and you're craving for more aperture, this lens is for you. Even more so if you're a crop-sensor person (this lens is crop-sensor specific) and you're not planning to go full-frame anytime soon. Also consider some possible inconveniences of the lens before purchasing it, like the fact that is not small, and is not lightweight. ... show more

This lens is kickass!
Style: Canon Set: US Version
Recently bought this Sigma 18-35 F1.8 Art lens (Canon Mount) for my Lumix GH4 and connecting the two with my Metabones Speed Booster. I film a lot of weddings here in Cape Town, South Africa and I needed a lens that was good for "run and gun" shooting. After testing it out quite a bit and shooting a wedding with it, I was pleasantly surprised with just how sharp this lens is! Like.. WOW! I've been a big believer for a long time that zoom lenses just aren't the way to go, because you just don't get the image quality or the sharpness that you do with a prime lens. But this lens might be sharper than some primes that I've been using for a few years now! It is a rather heavy lens though, and coming from a place of using small film camera prime lenses like the Nikkor 50mm F1.8, It took awhile to get used to. But I can't fault the camera on its weight at all because with such a solid casing and that amount of glass elements inside, its so worth the extra weight for the image quality you get! Truly what makes this camera trump any other lens in its class is that beautiful F1.8. I mean for a zoom lens, this lens is FAST! This was a major sell point for me because the GH4's ISO performance is not the greatest at all with that tiny Micro Four Thirds sensor. This lens paired with my Speed Booster has made this lens a lowlight monster, with the ability to shoot more establishing wides at 18mm and beautiful cinematic close-ups at 35mm. I truly can't fault this lens at all after using it for quite a few jobs, and with such a reasonable price tag I can't think of any lens I'd rather want. So if you're looking for a lens that covers the basic focal lengths for a scene, great in lowlight, well built and reasonably priced, then look no further! ... show more

Extremely Sharp even at 1.2! (1.2 with metabones adapter on the GH4)

Review Image by Doug Davis
I recently got my Panasonic GH4 and was told this was the go to lens for most shooters with this camera. I did my research and found out this lens becomes a 1.2 with the metabones adapter.. I had to try it out. I purchased this used right here from amazon for a few hundred dollars cheaper and I couldn't tell that the lens wasn't brand new.. It came with not a single mark on it and worked as If nobody ever used it. I'm assuming someone returned it once they found out it was a cropped sensor and wouldn't work properly on a Full Frame Camera. Luckily for me, the GH4 isn't full framed and it worked and looks amazing. The lens is verrrrry sharp even wide open at 1.2 I was shocked! It doesn't have IS but that doesn't effect me because I use a glidecam or tripod, you'll only see a little shake while your filming hand held. It's also around 2 pounds in weight for those wondering. I purchased this for many reasons after countless hours of doing my research. Besides other people praising it.. This is also why I purchased: - Very sharp lens. I read that it is basically a few primes built into one lens. I'd have to agree as it looks great no matter what. - I could go to 1.2 with an adapter and that could help a ton in low light situations. - It has much more DOF compared to the panasonic 12-35 lens and can go to 1.2 instead of 2.8. - I needed help with the low light issue and the Panasonic 12-35 isn't good for low light while this can help me make up for ISO. - Panasonics 12-35 mark II is apparently coming out with the GH5 so I'll wait to see if it's worth the buy later. - Sigma Art lenses have always been worth the money. I've never met someone who has something bad to say about them. I shot an interview this morning for a local gym and had this on my GH4 the entire time. I'll Post a screenshot of the video (ungraded) for you to see. ... show more

Automatic buy! . . . trust me!
Style: Canon Set: US Version
Before purchasing this lens, I decided to rent it for a couple of days and see how well it performed. I used it to take photos for a local late night talk show and it left me very impressed. As many reviews on the internet and youtube might tell you, this lens is super sharp. I never thought I would want to take photos at the widest aperture of f/1.8 but I was so enthralled at how sharp it was wide open. It was matched up to my Canon 70D and it performed well past my expectations. Previously I was stuck with using my Canon 17-55mm f/2.8, which is still a very good lens, but this Sigma trumps any photo I've taken when it comes to clarity, contrast, and sharpness. The only true gripes I might have about this lens, is the short focal range and the speed of the auto focus. My Canon 70D has an APS-C crop sensor, making the 18-35mm range more in lines with 28-56mm (1.6x crop factor). That's still a good focal range for landscape and portrait photography, but too short to use at something like a concert or for sports. The autofocus is super smooth and very quite, but the focus is a little slow compared to my Canon 17-55mm f/2.8. Not that big of a gripe, but when you're trying to capture a moment, every millisecond counts. Also, it doesn't have image stabilization like my Canon, so videography would be a little bit more difficult unless you had a glide or camera stabilizer of some sort. All in all, I made the purchase and I couldn't be happier. Sigma made a believer out of me and I'll continue to purchase from them as long as the quality and performance is there. If you have a crop sensor camera, don't hesitate. Buy this lens pronto! ... show more

I hated returning this

Everything you've read about this lens is true. Most would call the end result "dreamy". I would call it sensuous. You can almost feel the captured scene. This lens is truly amazing, even more so that it's reasonably priced. I did find however that there are 3 issues with this lens only if you want to make video. 1. It has some heavy breathing when in AF mode. I want to use AF since I'm mainly filming 3 small children running around. There is no way I could keep anything in focus using MF. This issue would not affect photography. 2. The AF also makes a pretty disgusting noise that is audible within your video. This issue would not affect photography. 3. This isn't the fault of the lens, but you cannot mount this lens on the Weebill Lab gimbal. It's just too dang big. You could use a larger gimbal but I really wanted to build a small kit so that I am not some crazy dad chasing his kids everywhere with some stabilizer contraption like this guy pictured below. I returned this lens and got the 12-35 2.8 II. This lens has native AF, power image stabilization and weather proofing. The image quality is superb. It's not "delicious", "dreamy" or "sensuous" but it's still probably the best lens for my needs. I may very well purchase this lens again later in life, but that would simply be for photography or video where the scenes are completely controlled. ... show more

Superior build and image quality but heavy and no IS.
Style: Canon Set: US Version
I bought this lens as the final leg of an awesome trifecta... Panny GH4, Metabones Speed Booster and yep... SIGMA 18-35 F1.8. This is an awesome combination and it's done everything I've asked of it thus far. Just for the heck of it I put the SIGMA on my T3i to see how it compared to my Canon 17-55 2.8 EFS. I didn't do the kind of testing you see some folks do on YouTube, etc. but there seemed to be considerably less chromatic aberration around edges as compared to the Canon. I primarily shoot video and if the SIGMA had OIS I probably would have given it five stars. Be warned, it IS heavy and I do miss the range compared to the Canon but the image quality is superior. Like most photo and video equipment, whether or not this lens is for you depends on how you plan on using it. I see a lot of folks complaining about focus issues but as a videographer I just about never use autofocus and because the GH4 has focus peaking I never have a problem getting the shot. ... show more

If you shoot low-light events like dance, performance, or sports you DEFINITELY want this lens
Style: Canon Set: US Version
This is a review I expect to update as I continue to use my brand new Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 lens. I am not a super-technical pixel-peeper kind of guy but I am a pretty experienced photographer and I'm writing this with a similar audience in mind. I bought this lens because I do a lot of event photography, especially dance (doing volunteer work for a ballet company) and while I've done pretty well with my trusty Canon 24-70mm F2.8 lens, I've felt a bit (sometimes more than a bit) limited when I photograph fast moving dance sequences in the low-light environments stage and dance very often are. That's because the 24-70mm F2.8 simply doesn't do as well on an EOS 7D with its 1.6x (APS-C) crop that it does on a full-frame like my EOS 5D Mark III. That's what's one of the very nice things about this lens. You get the same performance on the crop body with it that you get with the 24-70mm on the full-frame. And that's important because my crop body with its 8 frame per second burst capability is the best camera for catching action (as opposed to the significantly smaller burst capability of the 5D Mark III). 07/17/2013: So let's start with the first impressions: 1. The price on this lens is great. If it had been Canon or Nikon, I would have expected paying far more than what Sigma is charging for a game-changer lens. 2. The build quality is very nice. Holding the lens in my hands, it feels solid and well-constructed. 3. Although the lens is not a macro, I was impressed by how close it could focus...I actually was able to get good, sharp images of my parrot's face when I focused in below the ten inches that the specifications say it can do. 4. The lens focuses very quickly and the small number of images I've captured with it appear good and sharp. When I open it up, the bokeh appears very nice as well. 5. The lens is very quiet...I could hardly hear it while it moved to focus. 6. I also think that the lens is fairly low-profile...one wonders if Canon had made it whether they would have made it white which could draw unwelcome attention when doing street photography. As far as negatives go, nothing leaped out at me. Some might not like the fact that you can only stop it down to F16 but who is going to use a lens like this for landscapes? *** 07/28/2013 I'm writing to update this review now that I've been out with my Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 on an EOS 7D body to two events I photographed. My subjects were both the same...the "Nat Pack" entertainers that give t-shirts away and dance on the dugout roof during breaks in the game. I can't figure out how to upload photographs to the review site here (I'd welcome any help on that). In the meantime, you can see the photos from one game that I took on my flickr account photostream. Just go to that website and add after the .com suffix "maskirovka77/sets/72157634795619485/" to see the shots. Frankly, I'm delighted with the lens. Even shooting with it opened all the way up, it was easy to get nice sharp, vivid pictures of the Nat Pack with good bokeh. The lens focused rapidly and I didn't wind up with very many blurry shots at all. I won't even call this a drawback of the lens, since I'm sure that it's a result of optics and mechanical limitations, but the focal length range of the lens is not as good as the 24-70mm F2.8 lens but that's life. One other thing I've realized is that I can pretty much put my old 50mm F1.4 on the market because the Sigma gives me so much more flexibility with its zoom. ... show more
