Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 DC HSM A Lens Review

Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 DC HSM A Verdict

In the past, Sigma have carved a niche for themselves creating new, exciting optics that don't already exist in manufacturer's own lens line-ups, such as their 15-30mm & 12-24mm lenses for full frame cameras, that were the first of their kind.

This lens opens new possibilities for owners of APS-C format cameras for low light shooting and creative use of depth of field with a fast f/1.8 maximum aperture, normally reserved for prime focal length lenses. The image quality delivered, especially at shorter focal lengths is of the level normally reserved for prime lenses also.

     
  The Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 DC HSM A lens has excellent sharpness and is reasonably priced.
