- This lens is part of Sigma's Art line; deeming it well-suited to creative image making due to its large, constant f/1.8 maximum aperture and ability to produce aesthetic bokeh by way of a nine-blade circular diaphragm
- One aspherical lens element, as well as the incorporation of SLD glass, help to minimize the appearance of distortions and aberrations throughout the zoom range and provide clear imagery with enhanced sharpness
- The Hyper Sonic Motor provides fast, quiet and smooth auto focusing that is well-suited for use with video applications. This AF motor can also be manually overridden at any time by rotating the focusing ring, giving you the ability to fine-tune image sharpness through manual focusing
- Constructed using a TSC compound material, this lens is lightweight while also exhibiting notable durability and resistance to environmental changes
- An internal focusing and zooming mechanism helps to maintain a consistent overall lens length and a non-rotating front ring facilitates more efficient use of circular polarizers
The Sigma 18-35mm F/1.8 DC HSM ART Lens for Nikon F is a versatile wide-angle to normal-length zoom lens, boasting a bright, constant f/1.8 maximum aperture. Specifically engineered for APS-C-sized sensors, it offers a 35mm-equivalent focal length range of 27-52.5mm, making it an ideal choice for a variety of photography styles. This high-quality lens incorporates an aspherical element and Special Low Dispersion (SLD) glass into its design. These elements work together to minimize various aberrations and distortions throughout the zoom range, delivering superior image sharpness and clarity. A Super Multi-Layer Coating is applied to the lens elements, reducing surface reflections, lens flare, and ghosting. This results in images with higher contrast and color fidelity, enhancing your photography results.The lens barrel is constructed from a Thermally Stable Composite (TSC) material, offering a texture similar to metal. This material is resistant to temperature and environmental changes, ensuring the lens remains durable and reliable while maintaining a lightweight and compact design. The lens also features an internal focusing and zooming mechanism, maintaining a compact and consistent overall length. A non-rotating front ring further enhances the use of circular polarizing filters.For precise control of focus, the lens employs a Hyper Sonic Motor (HSM), ensuring fast, accurate, and quiet focusing capabilities. This makes it well-suited for continuous s
