I just picked up this lens used last Black Friday. As a hobbyist, this was the most money I've spent on a lens yet. Thank you for giving me some more insight on my purchase and I'm more confident I made a good choice. This lens has been mounted on my EOS M for most of the time now. The body to lens ratio is hilarious, but the weight makes the overall combo sturdy. 👍
Glad I could help affirm your purchase of this great lens! Yeah, at the time when I bought my copy it was some of the most I'd spent on a lens, so I was a bit nervous. But I have this lens for a couple of years now and it's really amazing, I don't see myself getting this lens anytime soon. Yeah the EOS M with the Sigma can look like a bit much, lol. But that combo is one of my favorites along with the M50.
Used it with Canon 7D II and was not happy with auto focus accuracy, it was not consistant, comparing to native lens like Canon 17-55 F2.8. Maybe the mirrorless focusing works wonders now, maybe my unit was faulty, not sure, but a lot of wasted moments due to eyes/face not in focus. As well as the weight becomes an issue, use on large cameras only.
Great review, I want to buy this lens for canon 80d for photo and video both purpose for productivity use, for video this lens performs very well but for photos i have heards from many its focusing in photography through viewfinder is not very good, can you pls give me your opionion about this, really appreciete if you helps, thank you...
Thanks! I would highly recommend this lens for the Canon 80d, I think for crop sensor cameras it's a really high value and hard to beat. As to focusing issues, I've not hear those complaints you've mentioned. I use my 18-35 a lot for photography with my Canon m50 (similar specs to the 80D) shooting through the viewfinder and I've never had an issue with focus on this lens. The other option is you can also shoot photos with your live view too if for some reason you're having issues with the viewfinder. I hope this helps! I would definitely recommend picking up this lens!
Great fucking video. Here’s why I went with it, The rf options … for my r50… don’t have a “All in one”… and then the all in one is 3.5-6.3 aperture… I don’t know, I’m into videography, photography, spent $1000 on a camera, feel like spending $900 on a lens that does what I want…? Seems common sense.

I found the 7D was the problem for focus..
Thanks for this vid. I’ve known about this lens for probably 2 years if not longer and all of a sudden today I need to buy one 😂
I also just bought a this lens switching from a 50mm f1.8 its so much better having a zoom for photography ( i also use a m50 mk2)
Totally agree! I love use this lens for photography!
I always love to get a lens that has the same f stop on the zoom and is fast, so 1.8 is beautiful.
How is the focus breathing on it?
It's a great lens! It has some focus breathing, but honestly it's pretty minimal.
what's your favourite camera body you use it with? also do you use a regular adaptor or a speedbooster?

@@reelfilmmaking101 ok sir, Thank you so much for help 👍

Dunno why ppl need a big aperture wide, i have a 22mm f 2.0 and hard to focus accurately in wide let alone 18mm 1.8 😅
The link is to a 22mm f2?
Thanks for the catch!! The link is correct now!
It's nice. I mean it's really a good lens. But for photography you'll be better with the 16-35 f4 from Canon.
Great lens, but big and heavy. An RF-S version ould be nice.
still no e mount?
Wow not only the first comment but the first to view!!!🎉🎉🎉
Yeah Yeah! First view crew!
