18-35mm F1.8 DC HSM | Art overview
The Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 DC HSM | Art is an 18–35mm f/1.8 zoom for APS-C cameras on Canon EF / EF-S, Nikon F, Pentax K and Sony A-mount, announced by Sigma in April 2013. 28 cameras we track take it without an adapter. It is discontinued, so new stock may be limited.
Going by its spec sheet, it suits low light.
No store we track in Europe has it new in stock today; used and refurbished copies start at €281.19.
Worth comparing it with the Ricoh HD DA 20-40mm F2.8-4 ED Limited DC WR and Ricoh HD DA★ 16-50mm F2.8 ED PLM AW.
