The new Sigma 18–35mm f/1.8 DC HSM performed incredibly well on this rainy, overcast night.  The photos are sharp with great contrast and clarity.  Just take a look at the mesh net holding the balloons in place.  In person, you could barely see the mesh unless you were standing fairly close.  Take a look the photos below and in the previous article.

If you are thinking about a prime in the 18mm to 35mm range, you should definitely consider the Sigma Sigma 18–35mm f/1.8 DC HSM.  It is as sharp as a prime, the flexibility of a zoom, has image stabilization AND a constant f/1.8 aperture!  It is a very unique lens.  No wonder it is in Sigma’s new “Art line”.

The Sigma 18–35mm f/1.8 DC HSM is available at B&H and Adorama.

All photos taken with the Canon 70D & Sigma 18–35mm f/1.8 DC HSM.
