Frequently Asked Questions
Is this lens compatible with full-frame Nikon cameras?
This lens is designed specifically for APS-C (DX) sensor cameras. It can physically mount on full-frame Nikon bodies but will produce significant vignetting outside of crop mode.
What is the equivalent focal length on an APS-C Nikon body?
On a Nikon APS-C camera with its 1.5x crop factor, the 18-35mm range provides an equivalent field of view of approximately 27-52.5mm.
Does this lens have image stabilization?
No, the Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 Art does not include optical image stabilization. The fast F1.8 aperture does allow for faster shutter speeds in low light, which helps compensate.
Does the front element rotate during focusing or zooming?
No. The lens uses internal focusing and internal zooming, so the front element does not rotate, which is convenient when using polarizing or graduated filters.
