SKU CH-A0W0-BGH0D

Wide-to-normal APS-C zoom with constant f/1.8 aperture plus 72mm filter kit and cleaning accessories

  • 18-35mm zoom covers 27-52.5mm equivalent for wide landscapes and portraits
  • Aspherical and SLD glass elements minimise distortion and maximise sharpness across the range
  • Thermally Stable Composite barrel resists temperature shifts while staying lightweight
  • Hyper Sonic Motor delivers fast, precise and quiet autofocus performance

Wide-angle zoom for APS-C Nikon

The Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 DC HSM ART lens covers a 27-52.5mm equivalent range on APS-C Nikon F bodies, making it suitable for landscape, environmental portrait and general-purpose photography. Its constant f/1.8 aperture delivers bright viewfinder images and shallow depth of field throughout the zoom range. The bundle adds a 72mm filter kit, cleaning accessories, a flexible lens shade, cap tether, lens wrap, LensPen and PC software kit for a complete starter package.

Optical design and handling

One aspherical element and Special Low Dispersion glass reduce aberrations and distortion while maintaining sharpness across the frame. Super Multi-Layer Coating cuts flare and ghosting for higher contrast and colour fidelity. The Thermally Stable Composite barrel resists temperature changes and keeps the lens lightweight, while internal focusing and zooming hold the overall length constant and the front ring does not rotate, simplifying use of circular polarisers. A Hyper Sonic Motor provides fast, precise autofocus with full-time manual override.

Upgrade path and limits

Photographers moving from variable-aperture kit zooms gain a constant f/1.8 maximum aperture that improves low-light capability and subject separation without changing lenses. The APS-C image circle means the lens is not suitable for full-frame Nikon bodies in native mode, and the 18-35mm range does not extend to longer focal lengths needed for telephoto work. Buyers who need full-frame coverage or reach beyond 35mm should consider other options.

Questions about this item

How do I mount the Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 DC HSM ART Lens onto my Nikon F camera body?

Align the lens mount index with the camera mount index, then rotate the lens clockwise until it clicks securely; the step people often miss is removing both the rear lens cap and the camera body cap before attempting to attach the lens.

What maintenance will the included 72mm filter kit and lens require over time?

Clean the front and rear glass elements and filters with the supplied LensPen and cleaning kit whenever dust or smudges appear; check the filter threads for debris before each use to prevent cross-threading when attaching or removing filters.

At what point does the constant f/1.8 aperture limit low-light handheld shooting?

The f/1.8 maximum aperture is fixed across the 18-35mm zoom range, so the first limit you hit is shutter speed — once the scene requires a slower speed than you can hand-hold, you must raise ISO or add support such as a tripod.
