The Sigma 18-35 F1.8 lens came out in June 2013 and was the fasted zoom lens at the time. In this review, Justin goes over the footage he was able to capture over the last few years and reviews the lens to see if it is still worth the price tag.

MOST NOTABLE PROS

-18mm F/1.8
-Sharp at 2.8 and Up
-wide angle shallow DOF
-Good price for what you get
-smooth focus and clean focus throw
-good minimum focal distance

MOST NOTABLE CONS
-No IS (image stabilization)
-Kinda heavy but not really
-Not parfocal
-Not accurate autofocus (could just be me though)
-while 18-35 is great, a bit limiting.

All in all - it's a must buy from me!
