Distinguished by a uniquely fast and versatile design, the Canon EF-mount Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 DC HSM is an Art-series zoom, covering wide-angle to normal focal lengths. Separating itself from the pack, this zoom features an exceedingly bright f/1.8 constant maximum aperture, which suits its use in difficult lighting conditions and offers impressive depth of field control throughout the zoom range. The optical design incorporates a series of SLD and aspherical elements, which help to achieve high clarity and sharpness by suppressing various aberrations, color fringing, and distortion. A Super Multi-Layer Coating has also been applied, too, which controls lens flare and ghosting for improved contrast and color accuracy. Balancing the optical merits, this 18-35mm also sports an advanced Hyper Sonic Motor, along with an internal focusing design, to promote fast, quiet, and precise autofocus performance.

Nope before C19 this hits 500 repeatedly and sometimes with a free dock
I think I bought mine at around $550 before Covid but it hasn't been any near that price in a looooong time. This is the best price I've seen since the before days.
Love mine. I use it for astrophotography, hiking, vlogging, and it seems really sharp. If you plan to shoot video, I recommend an external mic, as the focusing does make a little noise. But it's not super loud.
This is a powerhouse of a lens for crop sensor cameras. I bought one 2 years ago to add to my kit. It's the only lens I use now. It has a couple flaws - no image stabilization, a noisy focus motor, and it's heavy but has features of lenses 2x-3x the price. Metal body, constant aperture through the zoom rang, actually good f1.8, and internal zooming for better balance. There are also company's that will convert theses to cinema lenses giving you parfocal capabilities. Parfocal means it will stay focused through the entire zoom range.
I had this lens for my Canon 70D before I switched to Sony, and I really miss this lens. Incredible sharpness and color. If you have a crop sensor, pick this up. It takes amazing photos, especially indoors in lower light.
