Sigma 1835mm f/1.8 Review
by Bryan Carnathan Load Comparison Images Perhaps no other Sigma Art series lens was more highly anticipated than the 85mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art Lens. And fortunately, Sigma delivered a great product. This is a beautifully designed lens that delivers very impressive, near-best-in-class image quality, at a very reasonable price.

Sigma 17 70 Review Ken Rockwell
Ken Rockwell seems to be not a huge fan of Sigma 35mm art. He specifically says: This Sigma is as good optically, but its mechanics seem to be the poorest of any other 35mm f/1.4 lens I've ever seen. If you shoot Nikon, the classic Nikon 35mm f/1.4 AI-s ($850 new or $500 used) is better made than any of these — and less expensive to boot.

Sigma 150500mm f/56.3
B&H Photo for $349.00 (From Sigma lens literature) Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 EX DC HSM lens allows enjoyment of super wide-angle photography and it is a very powerful tool for indoor shooting and.

Sigma 150500mm f/56.3
This Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 is an optically superb lens, but it's also much bigger and heavier than similar fixed lenses like the superb Nikon 35mm f/1.8 DX. The 18-35mm zoom range only works out to be equivalent to about 28-55mm on full-frame; not exactly more useful than a fixed lens.

That makes this Sigma a bargain at $670. I'd pass on this Sigma lens for digital, since the Nikon 12 - 24 mm and Canon 10 - 22 mm are superior. See my explicit report on Wide Zooms for Digital. The Nikon and Canon lenses are smaller, lighter, faster (f/4) and take real filters. The Canon additionally covers a wider angle and wider zoom range.

Sigma 35mm f/1.4 Review
Sigma, in particular, is biting Nikon's sales quite heavily with its Art-series lenses, which are not only superior optically, but also cost a lot less and allow for fine-tuning of autofocus operation without touching the AF-Fine tune camera parameters. NIKON D800E @ 150mm, ISO 1600, 1/200, f/8.0

Sigma 1835mm f/1.8 Review
The 150-600mm Sports lens feels like military grade hardware. This feel is aided by a significant size and weight, but this lens is a very well-constructed, pro-grade, weather-sealed lens. With surfaces of differing matte-ness of black, the 150-600mm Sports lens looks at least as good as it feels and functions.

Sigma 1750mm f/2.8 EX DC OS HSM Zoom Lens for Sigma 583110 B&H
The Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 EX DC HSM Lens is a very good quality ultra-wide angle lens with a feature that everyone can love - a relatively affordable price tag. I highly recommend that APS-C sensor format body owners include a 10-20mm (or similar) focal length lens in their kit as such a lens is extremely useful.

At the edge of the frame at 18mm, it was again sharpest at f/6.3. Center sharpness at 50mm had an extended peak where anything between f/8 and f/13 looked great to me. Wide-open at f/2.8 with 50mm.

About
Tokina 100mm f/2.8 (2006-today) 55mm filters, 18.1 oz./513g, 1:1 close focus, about $460. Good choice for macro on Canon and on Nikon, but a 180mm or 200mm lens is much better for practical and perspective reasons. If you won't spring for the Nikon 200mm f/4 AF-D or Canon 180mm f/3.5 L, this Tokina is as good optically as Nikon's or Canon's.
