Nikon F version used to be $499, because Nikon version is most difficult to adapt to E and to have good AF

Depends on your current camera. Its all about adaptability and non-adapted use.

This is the only lens of its kind as a fast constant-aperture mid-range zoom in APSC mount. And it's IQ is crazy good to boot. I used to have one but sold because I upgraded to full-frame. I still miss this lens. There is no equivalent for full frame.

Yes, adapter needed. THis one gets good reviews for a Fuji X body and Canon lens: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/pr...s_pro.html

I have a Canon M50... I just got the 30mm Sigma 1.4 lens at $289.

Would it be worth while to get this and add a EF-M adapter? That would literally be double the price.

Are you planning to keep the 30/1.4 Sigma? Are you mainly looking for a wider angle lens (the 18mm end of that Sigma 18-35)? Your choices may be to keep the 30/1.4 and get the Sigma 16/1.4 for $400 for the wider end? Or sell the 30/1.4 and get this Sigma 18-35, plus add the EF-M adapter?

How are you with the weight and size of the lens? This SIgma will weigh about 3 times the weight of the 30/1.4, so you should consider the weight of carrying one 18-35 versus having to switch between the 30/1.4 and a wider lens.

All good points... I really like my 30mm and it has the wider aperture. So I think I will keep it and in the future swap to a seperate 16mm lense with the wider aperture. for the wider shots. I am good with the weight of the 30 and anything more will make an edc pretty undesirable. Lets hope the price of the 16 drops like the 30 did.
