Purpose-built APS-C zoom
The Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 DC HSM Art Lens is a constant-aperture zoom designed for Nikon APS-C cameras. It covers a 27-52.5mm equivalent range with a fast f/1.8 maximum aperture throughout. The optical design uses 17 elements in 12 groups with nine rounded diaphragm blades. A USB dock is included for firmware updates and focus calibration.
Suited for low-light versatility
Photographers needing a single bright zoom for indoor, portrait and street work will benefit from the constant aperture and 28cm close-focus capability. The non-rotating 72mm front ring simplifies polariser use. It is not for full-frame shooters requiring corner-to-corner coverage, nor for users needing telephoto reach beyond 52.5mm equivalent.
Consistent length under use
Internal focusing and zooming keep the barrel at a fixed 78mm x 121.0mm size during operation, aiding balance on gimbals and in tight spaces. The HSM motor delivers quiet autofocus without extending the lens. Optical performance is maintained across the zoom range rather than peaking at a single focal length.

Questions about this item
What camera mount does this lens need to attach to?
This lens uses a Nikon F-mount and is designed for APS-C DSLR bodies.
Will the focal range still cover the same angles on a full-frame Nikon body?
On a full-frame body the lens operates in DX crop mode, giving a 27-52.5mm equivalent view instead of the wider native coverage.
How can I verify the autofocus is calibrated correctly after mounting?
Use the included USB Dock with Sigma Optimization Pro software to run focus micro-adjustment tests at 18mm and 35mm focal lengths.
