We’ve been lucky enough to get our hands on an early pre-production sample of one of the most anticipated lenses of the year, the Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 DC HSM, and bring you a gallery of full-resolution sample images shot with it. This lens is the fastest zoom ever made for SLRs and, in principle, should provide the depth-of-field control and low-light image quality on an APS-C DSLR that you’d get using an F2.8 zoom on 35mm full-frame. We’ve shot a samples gallery including a variety of subjects, using a range of apertures, focal lengths and subject distances, to try to give an initial flavor of how the lens performs.

Korean website lcap.tistory.com has published what it claims are sample images from the new Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 DC HSM lens, purporting to show its performance in a range of different shooting situations, on both a Canon EOS 600D and 5D Mark III. We doubt very much that the site had Sigma’s permission to publish the images from what is almost certain to be a pre-production lens, but if you’re curious, you can click through for a link to the original ‘preview’ at lcap.tistory.com.

Just posted: Our hands-on preview of the Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 DC HSM Art lens. The announcement of the world’s first constant F1.8 zoom caused a lot of discussion, much of it centered around the idea that the brighter aperture would help APS-C DSLRs to compete toe-to-toe with full frame cameras in many respects. We’ve had a chance to handle the lens and prepare a preview putting its capabilities in more context. Click here to find out more.

Sigma announces super-fast 18-35mm F1.8 DC HSM Art for APS-C DSLRs

Sigma has announced the 18-35mm F1.8 DC HSM Art lens for APS-C DSLRs – the world’s first constant F1.8 zoom. The lens covers a 27-52.5mm equivalent range, though the company has not yet announced which mounts it will be offered in. There is also no announcement of a recommended price. The lens will offer the light-gathering and depth-of-field equivalent of a constant F2.7 on full-frame, which may under-cut the need for some photographers to change formats.
