Our take on the Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 DC HSM Art
The Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 DC HSM Art is a fast zoom for APS-C cameras, for streamers who want a blurred background behind a face cam. At a tracked $549 it sits at the top of its $395 to $549 range from Aug 9 to Oct 1, 2026, so this is a wait-for-a-sale buy. The retailer score is 4.7 across 2,673 ratings.
It covers 27 to 52.5mm in full-frame terms with an f/1.8 maximum aperture, and the specs list a Canon EF-S mount. The listing says it also comes in Sony Alpha and Nikon F mounts, so confirm the one you buy. The autofocus motor is a ring-type ultrasonic one with full-time manual focus. Filter size is 72mm and minimum focus distance is 28 cm. A USB dock is supported. You will need a capture card to bring the camera into OBS.
