World's First f/1.8 Zoom Lens: The SIGMA 18-35mm F1.8 DC HSM is the world’s first zoom lens to offer a constant aperture of f/1.8 throughout its entire zoom range, making it ideal for low-light conditions and achieving shallow depth of field with smooth bokeh.
-
Wide-Angle to Standard Zoom: Covering a focal length range of 18-35mm (equivalent to 27-52.5mm on APS-C sensors), the lens is versatile for a variety of photography, from landscapes and architecture to portraits and street photography.
-
Art Series Quality: As part of SIGMA's Art series, this lens is designed for high optical performance and creativity. It features excellent build quality, optimized for photographers who prioritize artistic expression and image quality.
-
High-Quality Optics: The lens consists of 17 elements in 12 groups, including 5 Special Low Dispersion (SLD) glass elements and 4 aspherical elements. These elements work together to minimize distortion, chromatic aberrations, and spherical aberrations, ensuring sharp, high-contrast images throughout the zoom range.
-
Hyper Sonic Motor (HSM) Autofocus: The lens is equipped with a Hyper Sonic Motor (HSM), which provides fast, quiet, and accurate autofocus. Full-time manual focus is also available, allowing for precise focus adjustments even when in AF mode.
-
Internal Focusing and Zooming: The lens design features internal focusing and zooming, so the front of the lens remains stationary while focusing and zooming. This is beneficial when using polarizing filters or lens-mounted accessories.
-
Rounded 9-Blade Diaphragm: The lens features a rounded 9-blade diaphragm, which helps to create a smooth and pleasing bokeh effect in out-of-focus areas, adding to the aesthetic quality of your images.
