The 18-35mm zoom range only works out to be equivalent to about 28-55mm on full-frame; not exactly more useful than a fixed lens.
Sigma 35mm f/1.4 Review
That makes this Sigma a bargain at $670. I'd pass on this Sigma lens for digital, since the Nikon 12 - 24 mm and Canon 10 - 22 mm are superior. See my explicit report on Wide Zooms for Digital. The Nikon and Canon lenses are smaller, lighter, faster (f/4) and take real filters. The Canon additionally covers a wider angle and wider zoom range. At the edge of the frame at 18mm, it was again sharpest at f/6.3. Center sharpness at 50mm had an extended peak where anything between f/8 and f/13 looked great to me. Wide-open at f/2.8 with 50mm. $598 at Walmart $774.95 at Newegg $898.95 at Amazon Pros + Fast, constant f/2.8 aperture + Decent build quality + Affordable purchase price Cons - Focus ring rotates during AF - No full-time manual AF override - No weather-seals Sigma, in particular, is biting Nikon's sales quite heavily with its Art-series lenses, which are not only superior optically, but also cost a lot less and allow for fine-tuning of autofocus operation without touching the AF-Fine tune camera parameters.

Sigma 70 200 F2 8 Review Ken Rockwell
Specifications Key features Performance Lab results Verdict When you need an ultra-wide viewing angle with a fast aperture, the Sigma 20mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art fits the bill perfectly. Ken Rockwell seems to be not a huge fan of Sigma 35mm art. He specifically says: This Sigma is as good optically, but its mechanics seem to be the poorest of any other 35mm f/1.4 lens I've ever seen. If you shoot Nikon, the classic Nikon 35mm f/1.4 AI-s ($850 new or $500 used) is better made than any of these — and less expensive to boot. Tokina 100mm f/2.8 (2006-today) 55mm filters, 18.1 oz./513g, 1:1 close focus, about $460. Good choice for macro on Canon and on Nikon, but a 180mm or 200mm lens is much better for practical and perspective reasons. If you won't spring for the Nikon 200mm f/4 AF-D or Canon 180mm f/3.5 L, this Tokina is as good optically as Nikon's or Canon's. The Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM Contemporary offers incredible telephoto reach, fast focusing, and solid image stabilization at a reasonable price. MSRP $1,089.00 $839.00 at Amazon.
Sigma 1835mm f/1.8 Review
Best 24-105mm Lenses Compared. Canon 70-200L IS II. Nikon 70-200/2.8 FL VR. Sony 70-200/2.8 GM. Tamron 70-200/2.8 VC G2. by Bryan Carnathan Load Comparison Images Perhaps no other Sigma Art series lens was more highly anticipated than the 85mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art Lens. And fortunately, Sigma delivered a great product. This is a beautifully designed lens that delivers very impressive, near-best-in-class image quality, at a very reasonable price.
The Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 EX DC HSM Lens is a very good quality ultra-wide angle lens with a feature that everyone can love - a relatively affordable price tag. I highly recommend that APS-C sensor format body owners include a 10-20mm (or similar) focal length lens in their kit as such a lens is extremely useful. Focal Length Range: 100-400mm Maximum Aperture: f/5 at 100mm, f/6.3 at 400mm Minimum Aperture: f/22 at 100mm, f/40 at 400mm Lens (Elements): 21 Lens (Groups): 15 Compatible Format (s): Full Frame, APS-C VR (Vibration Reduction) Image Stabilization: Yes Diaphragm Blades: 9 SLD Glass Elements: 4 Autofocus: Yes HSM Autofocus Motor: Yes
Sigma 50mm f/14 ART Review Ken Rockwell
B&H Photo for $349.00 (From Sigma lens literature) Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 EX DC HSM lens allows enjoyment of super wide-angle photography and it is a very powerful tool for indoor shooting and.
