Izzy here and of course here I have the
18 to 35 F 1.8 DC art series lens for
canon we want to take a closer look
we're going to unbox it we will do an
overview I mean I'm going to show you a
neat trick with this little guy stay
tuned as always if the video helps you
don't forget to hit us up with a like
button underneath and subscribe to the
channel and if you're ever in the Miami
area come visit us at digital goja
showroom well let's open this up and make
sure there is a Sigma 18 to 35 f-1.8 DC
this one again is a canon mount version
of course the first thing you're going
to find on there is all sorts of
pamphlets on instructions and your
manufacturers limited warranty which is
of course in the US and only if it's
purchased from an authorized dealer like
digital goja and notice how they put
a really nice carrying pouch in here so
this is going to allow you to take your
lens with you everywhere and you even
have a belt loop so if you want to
attach it onto a belt or your favorite
strap or backpack but of course they
want to make sure you get this in one
piece so its nice and secured lets take this
out the side of course here is your
proprietary lens hood so like if you run
into any situation with excess lens
light flare it attaches to it perfectly
and you can take it with you everywhere
so now let's take a closer look at the
Sigma 18 to 35 F 1.8 Art Series lens now
remember this is a constant F 1.8
aperture even though it is a zoom and I
think a couple of times I've stated that
it's a prime zoom and yes that's not
correct but I think people are coining
that phrase because what you basically
have here is a lens that works anywhere
from 18 to 35 on a crop sensor and it's
a constant 1.8 so it's
literally walking around with a bunch of
prime lenses it's their art line of
course so that means you're getting
their internal focusing feature you have
four aspherical elements five SLD glass
elements you have super multi coating
layer in the front element so this is
going to protect it against any excess
flare or any kind of aberrations notice
that it does have a proprietary lens
hood which is easily reversed for
storage because you do receive a nice
carrying pouch or you can put it into
your favorite camera bag this way
and speaking of filter sizes it's a
standard 72 millimeter diameter so you
can get a good selection of UV,CPL-s and
ND filters now again this is for aps-c
sized sensors in 35 millimeter or
full-frame it would have been a 28-56mm
millimeter you have like I said full
time manual focus because this will turn
regardless of whether you have it on
auto focus or manual focus but you do
have full time manual focus especially
if you want to tweak and do some
tweaking on your focusing it is
compatible with the USB dock because it
is one of their global vision lenses so
this will allow you to work with their
standard USB dock that is in the market
right now that means that you can tweak
your focusing parameters and do software
updates and firmware updates right from
your computer using the USB dock that's
available from Sigma and the added
feature that I said I was going to talk
about is Sigma recently release this guy
right here this is their MC-11 a
converter for EF mount lenses like this
one so you can mount it onto your Sony
e-series cameras so for example if you
own something like this which is a very
popular camera from Sony now in the
mirrorless line their A6500 this
adapter is going to allow you to work
with this lens and I'll show you right
now
you're going to mount the adapter as if
it was a lens right on to your Sony
mirrorless camera and twist it on it
locks it in place now remove the body
cap looking portion notice you have your
contacts in there I'm now going to mount
this lens as if it was a Sony lens and
guess what lo and behold I now have the
capabilities of working with this lens
as if I was working with a Sony lens and
it focuses perfectly it allows me to set
all my focusing parameters whether I
want to work with face tracking or eye
focus all those features even the touch
screen all that will function perfectly
with this so if you are in the market
for a nice fast zoom and you want to
work with a constant aperture of f/1.8
take a much closer look at the Sigma 18-35
F/1.8 DC art series lens for canon
and if you happen to own a Sony
mirrorless also keep an eye out for the
MC-11 adapter for you mirrorless users
so I hope this video on the Sigma 18-35
helped you out plus I threw in that
extra bit about the MC-11 adapter for
you mirrorless users but remember this
is in a canon mount so it will go right
onto your canon camp as always subscribe
to the channel that way you have access
to more overviews frequently asked
questions and unboxings and as always
happy shooting
