Lighthaus Camera: The Awesome Sigma 18-35mm Art Lens

Several years ago third party lenses were thought to be sub par when it comes to competing against proprietary lenses.  Sigma is making a splash in the camera world with its 18-35mm f/1.8 Art lens.  If you have never picked one up, it's built like a tank and shoots great photographs.  Maybe my eye is not as good as yours but I can't hardly tell the difference between the photographs shot with the Nikon and Sigma lenses.  I used the Nikon D7100 and shot in manual mode so everything was the same.  What do you think?

The Sigma 18-35mm lens comes in several mounts: Canon, Nikon, Sigma, Pentax K and Sony Alpha.  It is designed for crop sensor cameras which effectively brings the focal length to 27-35mm.  For the geeks: 17 elements in 12 groups, 9 aperture blades, minimum focus distance 0.28m, 72mm filter thread and weighs 28.6 oz..  The lens is pretty sharp even wide open, has low chromatic aberration, low vignetting and the distortion is under control too.  Keep in mind that distortion is visible at the wide end and pincushion distortion at the long end but no more than any other standard zoom lens.

Lighthaus Camera has four locations across the islands to serve you.  The Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 Nikon mount is currently in stock at our Kihei location and is for sale at a reasonable price of $799.99.  Call us at 808 877-5155 to pick up this award winning Sigma lens.
