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.
New, it sells for £575.01 to £699 at the 2 stores we track in the United Kingdom that have it in stock; used and refurbished copies start at £250. Over the last 90 days it has usually cost £575 to £619 new.
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.
