About this item:
First wide-angle to standard zoom lens to achieve a large aperture of 1.8 Due to the very shallow depth of field (DOF) of fast glass and focus variation between the cameras, users may experience focus shift and inconsistent AF. This can be fixed by using the AF fine tune ( For Nikon System) or AF Micro Adjustment( For Canon System) in the camera’s Menu to calibrate the lens to specific cameras. Also shooting at smaller aperture values will increase the DOF which reduces “focus issues” as the result of the variations and decreases the amount of fall of (Vignetting).

5.0 out of 5 stars Sharpness of the image using an a6300 in 4K 30fps with metabones speed booster can't be beat for a wide ZOOM lens!!! STUNNING!!
There's NO WAY there's a better video lens for the a6300 (if it is appropriate to use, meaning for being close up, or for wanting to be wide).WELL-- first let me state 2 things, first off, I am using the metabones speed booster adapter for Sony A mount to Sony E mount, and THIS set up sets this lens on FIRE, turning an F1.8 into an F1.3, which is the KING set up PERIOD. There's nothing like it, AND it's affordable.This lens is for APSC sensors, or APSC mode, not for full frame 35mm sensors.ALSO: Use of the metabones focal reducer (speed booster) is best suited for the cropped sensor version you get on the a6300 shooting in 4K at 30fps. When you try to use other modes, even 24fps 4K will cause vignetting on the lower range of focus, and some 18mm to 22mm will have vignetting.NEVERTHELESS--- go ahead and use it in 4K at 30fps, and THIS is just incredible what you get!! less than 2 meters from a subject, you can capture the entire room, and still zoom all the way in, and make your subject larger than life!!I just shot 2 days in the studio in North Carolina, and then an event the following day, all 3 days using this combo, (Sigma 18 35 with metabones speedbooster on a6300).I am certain auto focus is NOT something you would want to mess with, as trying to take stills using auto focus does NOT work, and that is an issue that makes me wish I had purchased the version of this Sigma 18 35 for CANON, and then the more expensive metabones adapter, but THEN be able to use the Sigma MC-11 adapter that is claiming native auto focus! (anyone tried that with VIDEO??)Me and my Dad can't believe what we just saw, even on our old 1080, 63 inch plasma TV, that was the most amazing footage of ANYTHING we have ever seen!! SO sharp, it's like looking through a WINDOW!The mics on the a6300 are WAY better than the a6000 now, and VERY decent, although of course not PRO audio grade.Don't EVEN question it if you are intending to shoot 4K with either the a6300, or using crop mode for your A7sii, and A7rii. For that matter, who has footage from an FS5 or FS7 using this Sigma lens and metabones speed booster?? THEN you could still keep zooming in!! THAT must be just out of control at F1.3!!ALSO-- this must be a monster low-light combo with the A7sii, which I will shoot next chance I get!!GOD!! I just wish I could include footage, but that would be a copyright issue to even send a link at this point, but YEAH, this is PRO grade stuff BY FAR in a VERY in-expensive package for some $2250, a6300/metabones speed-booster/Sigma 18mm to 35mm Art (and a tripod, this lens is not stabilized, and neither is the camera, BUT tripod duty does GREAT, and this has to be the most portable PRO 4K set up you could possibly get, for an amateur level price, for sure!!If you then get a Shogun or similar 4K recorder and monitor, YES, this is in FACT professional grade, although my Atomos Shogun Flame did not arrive in time for my event, forcing me to record internally, which I did with no overheating, and I managed just fine to NAIL focus. My eyes are perfect, but I did use the EVF, not the 3 inch LCD, which is borderline worthless, especially when using a wide lens.SO-- I will be keeping this a6300 in my bag with an A7sii, and A7rii, and of course, this lens is going to be used whenever possible just to get that shockingly SHARP image!!BAD ASS LENS!! Does very well shooting stills too, although using an laea3 could definitely be better auto focus, and using the laea4 would cost you the light you just added with the speed booster adapter.I was happiest using manual focus, and when zooming, it stayed "sharp as a tack", although it is softer on the edges than it is in the center, but it actually is an "ARTSY" effect that looks VERY nice, and puts extra emphasis on the subject in the center, so GREAT for shooting MUSIC events both in a studio environment, and concerts where you are either close, or want to get EVERYTHING in view, (or BOTH-- and then if you stick that on an FS5, you could keep zooming in from there!!) I'll be getting into an FS5 as well, especially now that I have several amazing E mount lenses and adapters.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great lens for wide-angle wide-aperture needs, fully recommended
I'm an amateur photographer, and as such, I appreciate the versatility that this lens gives me. First, the wide aperture at a wide angle, something that is hard to find even on primes, and second, the fact that is not a prime lens and allows you a certain degree on zooming, albeit not much. but who would ask for more of this.Ok, but if you're on this page you already know what's the appeal of this lens, you just want to know if it's worth it. My verdict is: it is worth it. The build quality is great, as is its visual appearance. It's a professional-looking lens. And the feel in your hands is amazing. The zoom and focus rings are smooth to handle, and with a very nice grip thanks to the rubberized surface. The image quality is very nice, comparable to prime lenses they say. I don't have enough experience to say it myself, but I can say the image quality is superb. It's sharp, and the bokeh at f1.8 is really nice. That was one of the reasons I wanted a wide aperture lens, the other being shooting in low light conditions, which I already did and was amazing. A friend saw my pictures and thought I had taken a tripod with me to achieve the level of exposure I got from a night landscape.My only reservation when buying it was the fact that there are some worrying reviews out there of people that has had the bad luck to get a copy of this lens that presents some issues with auto-focus. Fortunately that was not my case, but I certainly wouldn't dismiss those concerns. If you can, buy this at store where you can try the exact lens you'll be taking home. In any case, this issue appears to be uncommon.Finally, only buy this lens (or any lens for that matter) if you know it provides the features you look for the most in your photography endeavors. If you shoot mostly at a wide angle setting, and you're craving for more aperture, this lens is for you. Even more so if you're a crop-sensor person (this lens is crop-sensor specific) and you're not planning to go full-frame anytime soon. Also consider some possible inconveniences of the lens before purchasing it, like the fact that is not small, and is not lightweight.
5.0 out of 5 stars This lens is kickass!
Recently bought this Sigma 18-35 F1.8 Art lens (Canon Mount) for my Lumix GH4 and connecting the two with my Metabones Speed Booster. I film a lot of weddings here in Cape Town, South Africa and I needed a lens that was good for "run and gun" shooting. After testing it out quite a bit and shooting a wedding with it, I was pleasantly surprised with just how sharp this lens is! Like.. WOW! I've been a big believer for a long time that zoom lenses just aren't the way to go, because you just don't get the image quality or the sharpness that you do with a prime lens. But this lens might be sharper than some primes that I've been using for a few years now!It is a rather heavy lens though, and coming from a place of using small film camera prime lenses like the Nikkor 50mm F1.8, It took awhile to get used to. But I can't fault the camera on its weight at all because with such a solid casing and that amount of glass elements inside, its so worth the extra weight for the image quality you get!Truly what makes this camera trump any other lens in its class is that beautiful F1.8. I mean for a zoom lens, this lens is FAST! This was a major sell point for me because the GH4's ISO performance is not the greatest at all with that tiny Micro Four Thirds sensor. This lens paired with my Speed Booster has made this lens a lowlight monster, with the ability to shoot more establishing wides at 18mm and beautiful cinematic close-ups at 35mm.I truly can't fault this lens at all after using it for quite a few jobs, and with such a reasonable price tag I can't think of any lens I'd rather want. So if you're looking for a lens that covers the basic focal lengths for a scene, great in lowlight, well built and reasonably priced, then look no further!
Love this lens
Great fast lens. shoots awesome photos, Tack sharp focus, nice bokeh when shooting wide open. Great close quarters lens. I'm an amateur photographer and this lens is a go to for shooting inside candid portrait shots when working a room. It is a heavy piece of glass so pump some iron if you going to carry and shoot this all day. But I love it.
Perfecto 💯
Los materiales con los que está construido es de calidad, metal, pesado, lindo !! calidad de imagen tanto en video o foto, excelente.Es algo pesado el lente ya en conjunto con el cuerpo de la cámara, pero sirve que haces brazo xdxdEn general, me encantó 😄
Ótimo vendedor, cumpriu tudo que foi anunciado inclusive pagou taxas alfandegárias que apareceram.
Lente de alta niditez, superior a todas que tenho. Produto de ótima qualidade.
Incredible
Love this lens. With the f1.8 you can get shots in low light and love the image quality.This lens is built solid and comes with a lens hood. I have heard that some have had issues with the autofocus but no issues found hear. The AF is fast and accurate and I am using it on a Canon T7i with a crop sensor, I think this is the closest lens I have to a full frame result. Absolutely love it and would recommend it to anyone with a crop sensor camera. Thanks, Bolo, I looked all over for the best price and it was Bolo.
عدسة جبارة
العدسة كانت حلم بالنسبة لي، وبالصدفة وجدت عرض بسعر مميز وقد فاقت توقعاتي علماً بأنها ثقيلة جداً وتحتاج للعناية وهي تستحق بلا شك.
