Sigma 210306 18-35mm F1.8 Art DC HSM Lens Nikon

The Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 Art DC HSM for Nikon holds a unique distinction in the camera lens market: it is the first zoom lens to achieve a constant F1.8 maximum aperture. This means that whether you are shooting at 18mm or 35mm, you have access to the same fast aperture that was previously only available in prime lenses. For APS-C Nikon shooters, this translates to a versatile focal range of approximately 27-52.5mm equivalent, covering everything from wide-angle landscapes and environmental portraits to standard-length compositions and close-up work, all with beautifully shallow depth of field when desired.

As part of Sigma's Art line, this lens is built to deliver premium optical performance. The internal focusing and zooming design keeps the lens barrel length constant and prevents the front element from rotating, which simplifies the use of filters and improves handling during video work. The HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor) autofocus system provides quick and quiet operation. With an angle of view ranging from 76.5 to 44.2 degrees on APS-C sensors, the 18-35mm Art is an exceptionally capable lens for photographers and videographers who want prime-level image quality with the convenience of a zoom.
