This can be fixed by using the AF fine tune ( For Nikon System) or AF Micro Adjustment( For Canon System) in the camera’s Menu to calibrate the lens to specific cameras. Also shooting at smaller aperture values will increase the DOF which reduces “focus issues” as the result of the variations and decreases the amount of fall of (Vignetting).

Review: Great lens for wide-angle wide-aperture needs, fully recommended - I'm an amateur photographer, and as such, I appreciate the versatility that this lens gives me. First, the wide aperture at a wide angle, something that is hard to find even on primes, and second, the fact that is not a prime lens and allows you a certain degree on zooming, albeit not much. but who would ask for more of this. Ok, but if you're on this page you already know what's the appeal of this lens, you just want to know if it's worth it. My verdict is: it is worth it. The build quality is great, as is its visual appearance. It's a professional-looking lens. And the feel in your hands is amazing. The zoom and focus rings are smooth to handle, and with a very nice grip thanks to the rubberized surface. The image quality is very nice, comparable to prime lenses they say. I don't have enough experience to say it myself, but I can say the image quality is superb. It's sharp, and the bokeh at f1.8 is really nice. That was one of the reasons I wanted a wide aperture lens, the other being shooting in low light conditions, which I already did and was amazing. A friend saw my pictures and thought I had taken a tripod with me to achieve the level of exposure I got from a night landscape. My only reservation when buying it was the fact that there are some worrying reviews out there of people that has had the bad luck to get a copy of this lens that presents some issues with auto-focus. Fortunately that was not my case, but I certainly wouldn't dismiss those concerns. If you can, buy this at store where you can try the exact lens you'll be taking home. In any case, this issue appears to be uncommon. Finally, only buy this lens (or any lens for that matter) if you know it provides the features you look for the most in your photography endeavors. If you shoot mostly at a wide angle setting, and you're craving for more aperture, this lens is for you. Even more so if you're a crop-sensor person (this lens is crop-sensor specific) and you're not planning to go full-frame anytime soon. Also consider some possible inconveniences of the lens before purchasing it, like the fact that is not small, and is not lightweight. ## Features - F1.8 maximum aperture - F16 minimum - Ring-type ultrasonic-type AF motor with full-time manual focusing, 72mm filter size - Minimum focusing distance 28 cm/ 11.0 in.

How did it perform and was there vignetting?** A: This is not accurate for all full frame cameras. I have the full frame Canon R6 and R5C and this lens works on both without vignetting WHEN you change the frame setting from FULL FRAME to CROP 1.6 - and there is NO VIGNETTING on either camera with this lens at that Crop setting. **Q: Has anyone used this lens on the C300? It has a super 35 sensor which is close, but not exactly like an APS-C** A: I've used it on a C100 and it's fine, no issues. I've also worked with it on a Red Epic at 4k and it's also fine. You will not notice any difference between using it on say a 60d or a C300. **Q: This lens usually comes w/hood?? Most sellers don't say they do so I guess not. Thinking bout getting this for my beginners kit. I need to buy hood??** A: Lens most definitely comes with an included Sigma hood. Any vendor who says it doesn't, is looking to rip you off. **Q: How come this lens is more expensive for Canon cameras compared to the $799.00 for Nikon and the others?** A: Supply and demand. The $899 price for the Canon mount is from a different retailer, whereas the $799 for Nikon and others is direct from Amazon. The Canon mount is likely sold out from amazon stock, so the 3rd party retailer is charging extra (still worth it if you ask me). ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quality, Versatility, and Affordability in One Package *by C***T on July 30, 2023* As a photographer, finding the right lens is essential to capturing stunning visuals, and I've found that the Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 Art DC HSM Lens for Canon truly stands out in this regard.

I film a lot of weddings here in Cape Town, South Africa and I needed a lens that was good for "run and gun" shooting. After testing it out quite a bit and shooting a wedding with it, I was pleasantly surprised with just how sharp this lens is! Like.. WOW! I've been a big believer for a long time that zoom lenses just aren't the way to go, because you just don't get the image quality or the sharpness that you do with a prime lens. But this lens might be sharper than some primes that I've been using for a few years now! It is a rather heavy lens though, and coming from a place of using small film camera prime lenses like the Nikkor 50mm F1.8, It took awhile to get used to. But I can't fault the camera on its weight at all because with such a solid casing and that amount of glass elements inside, its so worth the extra weight for the image quality you get! Truly what makes this camera trump any other lens in its class is that beautiful F1.8. I mean for a zoom lens, this lens is FAST! This was a major sell point for me because the GH4's ISO performance is not the greatest at all with that tiny Micro Four Thirds sensor. This lens paired with my Speed Booster has made this lens a lowlight monster, with the ability to shoot more establishing wides at 18mm and beautiful cinematic close-ups at 35mm. I truly can't fault this lens at all after using it for quite a few jobs, and with such a reasonable price tag I can't think of any lens I'd rather want. So if you're looking for a lens that covers the basic focal lengths for a scene, great in lowlight, well built and reasonably priced, then look no further! ## Frequently Bought Together - Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 Art DC HSM Lens for Canon, Black (210101) - Canon Mount Adapter EF-EOS R - Canon EOS R7 Mirrorless Camera (Body Only), Hybrid Camera, 32.5 Megapixel (APS-C) CMOS Sensor, 4K Video, for Sports, Action, Content Creators, Vlogging Camera, Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/1024574-18-35mm-f1-8-art-dc-hsm-lens-for-canon](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/1024574-18-35mm-f1-8-art-dc-hsm-lens-for-canon) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-05*
