    I don't think I've ever bought a lens without first watching your reviews. You've done a landmark job of documenting lens performance, and saved a many of us a lot of work and frustration. Thank you.
    One comment on this video, though: Unless two or more items in the image chain have nearly equal resolution, the end resolution of the system will be almost completely determined by the lowest resolution item in the chain. Camera lens>sensor>monitor screen>human eye, for example. If a lens provides excellent resolution at, for example, 20 Mpixels, putting the same lens on a 50 Mpixel camera cannot produce lower resolution.
    So I think I disagree with your statement that your high resolution sensor degrades the sharpness of the lens.

    Huh, this was very well timed, Chris. I was just about to sell mine after moving to full-frame a year ago. In fact, I just rewatched your original review yesterday, and I did some test shots today. To be honest, I never understood why this lens was so hyped. It always looked kind of soft to me, even after I spent a whole day on calibrating the autofocus. In video, I always heard the focus motor, unless I used a lavalier microphone. In retrospect, part of my experience seems to be a consequence of mounting it on a 90D, which also has a 32.5MP sensor.

    I've owed this lens for 8 years now and will never get rid of it. Moved from Canon systems to Fuji and via the Fringer Pro adapter this works just perfectly, as well as native lenses, on my Fujifilm X-H2 with it's 40MP sensor. Yes, at 100% zoom you can see it's slightly softer than the very best of the best Fuji primes but the Sigma 18-35mm is still sharper than 99% of other lenses out there. It's incredible and always been known to compete with primes. More than capable for 4k/6k/8k video work. Buy it used and you won't be disappointed!

      I would say on the 26mp sensor, the softness will be far less of an issue. The 16-55 is great, but doesn't come close in terms of apertures, I'd recommend you go for some primes instead, if primes are workable for you. Viltrox make a good set that Chris has tested.

    My first mirrorless camera was a Panasonic GH4 and then a GH5. I remember it was popular with some to use the Sigma 18-35mm on those cameras with a Metabones Speedbooster for general purpose video work and often if you asked what a good standard zoom lens would be to use on the GH4 or GH5 for video, at least one person would suggest the Sigma and a Speedbooster. I have never went down that path and have mostly stuck to native MFT lenses.

Especially for astrophotography a real gem as it shows very little smearing. I was only let down by it's autofocussing speed. At newer cameras it probably a lot better but on my old cam it was often quite slow and missed focus here and there. On the used market the price is also a lot lower. It can be had for under 400 Euros in good condition. The last time i looked i saw even someone selling it for 320 Euros!

    It's a fascinating lens. I originally had it on my 90d, then used it a bit on my R7. Tried it for the first time on the R6 Mark II yesterday (it automatically put it into crop mode). I need to pull out my old Rebel XT and see how it looks on it! :)

      Can you still put the R6 II back into full frame with this lens attached? Canon forces APS-C lenses into crop mode but previously some Sigma DC lenses "escaped" this and could still be used on full frame.

      @@synura8086 Tried it on the R6 Mark II and it forced crop mode. One thing to consider though is I have a faint memory of reading that it might be controlled by the lens firmware meaning an older firmware on the lens might give you that option. Could be worth a try. Mine is relatively new and I do not have the lens dock so not something I can test.

      @@NobleEndeavours123 Thanks for your reply! Now that you mention it, I faintly remember people saying that newer firmware locked the Sigma lenses into the Canon forced crop mode.

      @Noble how do you find the autofocus compares between mirrorless and DSLR for photos (through the view finder)? I'm running an 80D and whilst the 18-35 (and 50-100 Art) helped me secure some paid work, the DSLR autofocus misses regularly (even with countless firmware adjustments I've made with the USB dock). Given mirrorless cameras use a different autofocus system than DSLR, I'm hoping that an R7 will be a cheaper upgrade path than also having to replace my two Art lenses.

    @garethwilliams976 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Great re-test and surely the trick is to match the resolution of the lens to that of the sensor. If you have this lens on your 12-24 sensor the lens can even at full aperture give you great results on an A3 print. At higher resolution sensors it struggles but on an A3 print at a normal viewing distance (say 1.5-2x the diagonal ) I doubt anyone will be able to distinguish any difference. All you need to bear in mind is that having really high resolution sensors requires very expensive lenses and nobody will notice any difference.(forget the argument about cropping! If that matters why buy a zoom which does it for you?)

    Yes, the 32.5 mp sensor is indeed a "beast" as far as gobbling up lenses, as Christopher says. I got tired of waiting for the next "7" iteration and bought an M6 Mkii three years ago. I still love this camera, BTW, which remains extremely underrated. With the right lenses, the cropping for distance and macro work is amazing because of the sensor, and the size and weight are wonderful. I still have the 18-35 reviewed here because there really is no other comparable low-light zoom option. I would be very interested in knowing from Christopher, either posted here or in a video, which lenses he has found that do live up to the demands of the 32.5 mp sensor.

      Currently really sharp on R7 are new RF L lenses like 70-200 (4 and 2.8), 135 1.8, 50 1.2, 16-35 4, 15-30 2.8 and 28-70 2.8. Old L lenses just suck on R7 (tried 70-200 2.8 non IS, 16-35 2.8 and 85 1.2. Quite new 16-35 F4 is really good, maybe newest ones like 70-200 2.8 III or 400 f4 DO could perform well too)

    Hi Christopher, hope you're doing well. Thanks again for the great vid.
    After seeing your review posted on a FB group, some users have raised some skepticism towards your testing methodology. More precisely, how shooting settings are not shared alongside the sharpness tests you provide. He mentioned that shooting the R7 in mechanical under 1/200 s could introduce shutter shock, which is absolutely true from my experience.
    Do you use electronic shutter when testing lens sharpness? I recall you saying that you leave the R7 in mechanical at all times to avoid rolling shutter. I can't recall if shutter shock was mentioned in your review or not.
    I personally give you the benefit of the doubt here, and from my eyes and my knowledge of what shutter shock looks like, from what I can tell this looks like a proper test and I doubt shutter shock caused any bias here. I was quick to defend you in the group, but I'm sharing this info to you just in case you did indeed forget to switch to electronic for the test.
    Also, I honestly think it's not a bad idea at all to share your settings from your tests. For people who are not familiar with your channel and know how rigorous you are with your testing, I feel like this could only give you more credibility to people unfamiliar with your channel.
    People like me who know about your channel know that your testing is always more than rigorous and can be trusted to the limit of the fact that only one copy is tested, but I just wanted to share this as a suggestion that might be useful to you.
    Cheers!

    Should I buy the Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8?
    I'm really thinking of buying one.
    Your comments will confirm my answer.
    I have the Canon 90D (32.5MP) and
    Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L and I
    want to add a lens that covers wider angles.
    Do you have other recommendations or is that the best lens for APC-S sensors like the 90Ds.
    It's the largest aperture lens that I know and the build quality/design looks lovely.
    I love how it looks!

    I own and love this lens (as well as the Sigma 30mm APC-S) but now have a full frame 6R and a Sigma 24-70 EF so I guess they are redundant (since they are the full frame equivalent of 28.8mm - 56mm, and 48mm). I used them with my Canon 7D, which produced such drastically better images and vid, it made me realize how lousy the kit lens was. But I love the 18-35mm SO MUCH that I'd almost never sell it even so!

    Hey Chris, big fan of yours for over 10 years now. I like your technique in testing lens sharpness. But may I suggest, using Nikon cameras instead. My gripe with Canon is that aside from them making their own sensors, their sensors a one smaller than your standard crop 1.5 sensors (mostly Sony, only other brand is Fuji), second they still do not remove tha AA filter - I believe this is a number one factor that this lens performs a tad bit lesser in sharpness. If you look at DxoMark and compare the same lens on the Nikon mount versus the Canon mount, The Nikon mount (D7100 24MP) is able to resolve 17MP of the sensor vs the Canon mount (760D 24MP) which resolves 16MP of the total sensor resolution. Whether this difference is perceptible in real applications (I doubt it) is another questions, but in terms of pure resolution performance, I believe this lens is more capable. I wish Sony made a 32.5mp sensor with no anti aliasing to truly judge this lens in higher megapixel sensors. I do know the Tamron 85 1.8 VC is able to resolve full resolution (36MP) of the D810 and 44 MP of the D850 45MP sensor while it only resolves 38MP of the Canon 5DS R(50MP). These examples tell you the Canon sensor does have an effective resolution of a lens common to multiple eco systems.
