SIGMA 18-35mm F1.8 DC HSM is a new generation lens that can deliver images at f1.8 aperture throughout its focal length. While the aperture value of prime lenses is superior to zoom lenses, their field of view is always the same, and therefore it was always necessary to carry many fixed focal length lenses. However, the down side was that no zoom lens ever offered a faster aperture than f2.8 which led photographers to select fixed focal length lenses for brighter images. Ideal for studio photography, they offer just as much expressive scope when capturing architecture, starry skies, underwater shots and many other scenes.Ī zoom lens is very convenient as it offers various angles of view just by rotating the zoom ring. Along with landscapes, portraits, still-life, close-up and casual snaps, they are perfect for the kind of photography that unleashes the inner artist. Developed with the maximum emphasis on artistic touch, they are designed to meet the expectations of users who value a creative, dramatic outcome above compactness and multifunction. Designed with a focus on sophisticated optical performance and abundant expressive power, our Art line delivers high-level artistic expression. Sigma is organizing all its interchangeable lenses into three product lines Contemporary, Art and Sports. Our Art line delivers high-level artistic quality This wide aperture, standard zoom lens enables the photographer to expand creative possibilities on any occasion.
*1 The lens has a focal range equivalent to 27mm – 52.5mm in a 35mm format and it can cover the angles of view of multiple fixed focal length lenses. It is a wide aperture, standard zoom-lens for digital single lens reflex camera’s with APS-C size sensor’s. SIGMA 18-35mm F1.8 DC HSM is the first zoom lens ever to achieve a maximum aperture of f1.8 throughout the zoom range.
SIGMA 18 35 E MOUNT PLUS
What makes a standard lens ideal for you? Certain important qualities are required, such as fast maximum aperture, versatility for snap shots, portraiture and indoor photography plus a good combination of a wide range of focal lengths in a compact design. The definitive large-aperture APS-C format standard zoom lens. Thanks to our knowledge of lens design accumulated over a long period of time plus the latest lens manufacturing techniques, SIGMA has finally made the dream of a zoom lens with F1.8 throughout its entire focal range come true.Image quality until now found only in a fixed focal length lens. It has enabled us to develop a wide glass-molded aspheric lens, and the incorporation of SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass has optimized power distribution of the optical elements and compensated for various aberrations as well as curvature of field at the widest angle. In addition, the technological innovation at our Aizu factory also contributes to better lens production. In order to compensate for astigmatic aberration across the entire focal range, we have relied on the experience and know how gained when designing our super wide angle zoom lenses such as SIGMA12-24mm F4.5-5.6 II DG HSM and SIGMA 8-16mm F4.5-5.6 DC HSM. As the aperture value gets larger, the depth of focus becomes shallower, thus it makes the lens design extremely complicated in order to compensate for various distortions, such as spherical, axial chromatic and astigmatic aberration along with curvature of field. To achieve a wide zoom lens with a maximum aperture of f1.8, various technical problems need to be overcome.
