Top Rated Gear: Used Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 DC HSM ART Lens for Sony Alpha A-Mount Digital SLR Cameras undefined

The Sigma 18-35mm F/1.8 DC HSM Lens for Sony Alpha is a wide-angle to normal-length zoom lens that features a fast, bright constant f/1.8 maximum aperture. It is specifically designed for use with APS-C-sized sensors and provides a 35mm-equivalent focal length range of 27-52.5mm.The lens integrates one aspherical element into its construction as well as Special Low Dispersion (SLD) glass to help minimize various aberrations and distortions throughout the zoom range as well as provide greater image sharpness and clarity. A Super Multi-Layer Coating has also been applied to lens elements to reduce surface reflections, lens flare and ghosting to produce images with higher contrast and color fidelity. The lens barrel design is constructed from a Thermally Stable Composite (TSC) material that is akin to metal in texture and resistance to temperature and environmental changes while also remaining lightweight and compact. An internal focusing and zooming mechanism also helps to maintain a compact and consistent overall length and non-rotating front ring also better enables the use of circular polarizing filters. For control of focus, a Hyper Sonic Motor (HSM) is used to ensure fast, precise and quiet focusing capabilities that are well suited to continuous shooting and movie recording.For updating lens firmware and fine-tuning its nuances to best suit your personal shooting, this lens is compatible with the Sigma USB Dock. The dock allows you to specify certain parameters and other settings through the Sigma Optimization Pro software, such as AF speed and focusing limitations.

I'm not usually the type to write reviews for the gear I use, but the Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 DC HSM Art lens has impressed me so much that I feel compelled to share my experience. This might be the first-and possibly only-lens review I'll ever write.

I've had this lens since 2023, and while I dabble in photography occasionally, my main focus is video work. Paired with my Canon R7, this lens has elevated my content to another level. Whether I'm shooting cinematic sequences, documentary-style footage, or short-form reels for social media, the image quality is consistently stunning. The sharpness, color rendering, and beautiful depth of field are just what you want when you're aiming for a professional look.

What really sets this lens apart is its versatility. The 18-35mm focal range on an APS-C sensor is incredibly useful-it gives me enough wide-angle for vlogging or landscape shots and the ability to zoom in for more intimate or portrait-style frames, all without changing lenses. The constant f/1.8 aperture is a game-changer for low-light situations and creating a shallow depth of field. That creamy bokeh is just gorgeous.

Build-wise, this thing is solid. The ART series by Sigma is known for quality, and this lens lives up to that reputation. It feels durable, premium, and ready for fieldwork. It's not the lightest lens out there, but for what it delivers, the weight is worth it.

Autofocus is fast and reliable, and although it's not a native Canon RF lens, it performs incredibly well with an adapter. I haven't had any major issues-focus is accurate, and transitions are smooth enough for video work.

If you're a content creator, filmmaker, or hybrid shooter looking for a lens that punches way above its price point, the Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 is a must-have. I genuinely believe it's one of the best investments I've made in my video gear setup.

Sigma 18-35

This lens is fantastic. It's like having 4 primes in one. Quickly became a favorite and go-to for car shows, hiking, and concerts. Great sharpness and lovely bokeh at wide angles. Complements a 70-200 very nicely, I prefer it to a 24-70.

New favorite

I'm very satisfied with the quality of the lens itself, but I'm dissatisfied with the lens cap.  It is hard to snap on and will come off with the slightest jarring.

Great lens, bad lens cap!

It's a good lense to have around if you need that range. Not the sharpest of clearest images Lot of noise. But when I needed it, I found it to function well.

OK lens

Love this lens for a post stuff and the quality and the detail of the images that it captures are amazing and it's lightweight.

Amazing Lens

This lens is fantastic! Takes great photos in low light conditions. 10/10 would recommend.

Amazing Landscape Lens

I give this 3 stars not because of Sigma and the image quality that comes out of this lens, but because of Adorama not clearly describing the condition of this lens. Got it used and focus ring slips and isn't smooth. I got it looked at it was going to cost $250 to fix. I bought the lens for $450.

Adorama didn't clearly describe condition

Is a fantastic lens. 1.8 f-stop can get a shallow depth of field even with the wide angle. Image is sharp and clean with little distortion.

Excellent Lens

Must say, this lens is quite heavy but fills good in your hand. The lens is very bright and super crisp pictures. Shooting wide open is refreshingly nice yet better at f/2.8. I purchased this lens based on reviews when paired with my 90D. I've not taken it off the camera yet! Love it!

Solid Lens

This is a great all around lens for a very nice price!

Best all around lens

Sigma order

Bought a used G grade and the only scratches were on the hood! Very surprised and amazed by the condition. Will definitely be buying more!

Bought G grade, and VERY satisfied!

There is a reason that everyone with a BMPCC 6K pro owns this lens. It?s the perfect go-to lens for shooting high def motion. Perfect for low light, wide, standard and super sharp outside footage.

Belongs in your motion kit

I've had this lens for quite some time now and it's still my go-to piece of glass I use on just about every project. Super sharp, super fast, and wonderfully built. I only wished it had stabilization inside the lens but considering the cost, I'm not too surprised.

Still my most used lens

Awesome

I wanted a lens that was a little sharper than my kit lens that came with my Canon T7i.   The image quality is good, but the only thing that I would consider to be a negative is the 16-35mm versus the 17-55mm that I was accustomed to.

Good upgrade from kit lens

This lens is so much better than the canon lenses I had before ! I bought it specifically to shoot the northern lights in Alaska. It does an amazing job at 1.8 and low ISO to avoid noisy and grainy photos. And it is wide enough to shoot the Aurora in the vast sky.

Best lens I?ve owned !

I use this lens on my MFT camera and my Red Dragon, and it is fantastic. Sharp, solid, top-notch lens.

Top Notch

This lens is great! It stays on my camera now seeing it?s pretty much the only lens I use now. I only wish I would?ve bought it sooner!

Sigma 18-35 is a beast!

i recently bought an.bmpcc 6k and.the zoom tange is just excellent for.different types of coverage, i mostly do music videos and.javent had an issue, also the image quality is superb and seems like a very well built all around body

perfect for the bmpcc 6k

Sigma has done it again!

An amazingly fast lens for about $750. No stabilization but tack sharp and super fast. Purchased with the Blackmagic 6k pro, it?s pretty much a must have for interviews and works seamlessly with the body.

Super fast and tack sharp. A must for the 6k pro.

Great lens very sharp images! Fast focusing!

Perfect lens

Fantastic lenses

Great lens

Only down side is, it's a bit heavy and no AF. If you can get past those 2 things it's one of the best  crop sensor lenses out there

Very sharp

Incredible images from this versatile lens.

Did my sister's quince with these and never felt more confident with the equipment I use. And it was all done on a t7i and still looks amazing!
