Great bundle!
This is a really great bundle. I did an unboxing of this bundle on my YouTube Channel, Jollyroger Hobbies. To see it, go to my channel or search for "Sigma 18-35mm Amazon Bundle Unboxing". the video should be near the top. The lens is of course top notch and the Dock is wonderful. That combo alone with this price makes it worthwhile purchase. But then you get a 64GB sd card with it as will as cleaning kit, bag and mini tripod!

STOP HERE. YOU'VE FOUND YOUR LENS!
I purchased the Sigma ART F1.8 18-35mm about 4 months ago and it has easily became my main lens. I have been a portrait photographer for about 2 years strong now and having a crisp and clear image is everything to me. Originally I use a 85mm Canon EF lens, however I had been looking for a wider lens and I knew about the 18-35mm by Sigma but never drew up the courage to make the large purchase. BOY was I wrong for waiting so long. The moment I decided to just make the decision to purchase this lens my life has been so much easier. This is the PERFECT lens. It is super sharp and the autofocus is out of this world. I can't give it less than 5 stars because that would be a disgrace to this lens. This is a photographers dream lens and since I made the purchase it has made shooting not only portraits better with new perspectives, but it has allowed me to shoot all of my music videos on it as well. I usually keep it at a 24mm but with the versatility of this lens just makes it that much easier to shoot wider or closer. Also, it does mount on a gimbal. (MOZA AIR 3)
This lens however is very heavy, and since I shoot with a battery grip attachment it makes it that much heavier. This is the only negative behind this lens, if you even want to consider it a negative since it is expected. The motors are silent and the fluidity of the autofocus is insane. Sometimes I let the autofocus do it's job because it keeps up with my moving subjects better than I can. However, if you want to use manual then the autofocus wheel is as smooth as butter.
I will be purchasing nothing but Sigma ART lenses from now on. In my opinion they are better than canon lenses, and CHEAPER. Can't beat that.

An incredible deal ever
This was an incredible and unbelievabe deal I have never had at Amazon.com. Firstly, allow me to take a moment to thank the seller and Amazon.com to make the such good deal possible. I communicated with the seller (goja ) a couple of times before I place the order, about the condition of the lens, about the package contents. The seller replied quickly and patiently answered all my concerns. And then the package came as described. I have been with B&H for more than ten years, and had all my photographing equipments from them. Now I think I am big fan of GOJA as well.
Let's talk about the package for moment here. The package includes the lens itself, brand new, a set of lens fielters with pouch, a sling bag, a remote for certain model of Nikon cameras, a dust blower, a dust brush, some cleaning patches, a lanyard for the lens cap, and a cleaning cloth, if I didn't miss anything. Including all those bonus items, the lens still priced at regular price of the lens only. That's amazing. I have been following up this lens since it introduced, I think there is no need for me to review the specs of lens again, since there are literally tons of perfect and very detailed reviews out there about this "dark technology" lens. Just one thing I would like to mention, is that I have a old D2X's from long ago, I bought this lens solely for it, and made this old timer shine its value again. Well this camera gives me too much memory, and this lens makes all those memory continue, and better. For all those bonus accessories, I only tried the set of filters so far, they are good enough for my uses, if they are not at top quality.
So, again, thank GOJA and Amazon.com to help me have my dream coming true, and have my good memories coming better.

Love this lens
Love this lens! Just got it a few days ago and I have been taking some shots around home with different lighting and conditions. Nice crisp shot. I also noticed with this lens I haven't had to make any editing adjustments to color; this lens seems to capture everything nicely. I haven't had an opportunity to take portraits and I was really interested in that aspect of this lens. So far, no complaints.

Worked like a charm
I'd purchased the lens for an indoor shoot that was going to need to rely heavily on available light. The lens worked like a charm for my intended purpose. Focus was fast and quiet. Very happy with the very low (almost none) distortion throughout the range - that helped cut one of the all too typical correction steps out of the work flow process. Bokeh was fine to me - probably in the average range for the various lenses I have, maybe a bit above average but not by much.

Amazing lens!
I've been wanting this lens for awhile now but a little apprehensive to take the plunge. I finally got it and it definitely does not disappoint!! Super sharp, fast focus, excellent! I use it on my D500 and it seems like a perfect combo. I did not calibrate it and it was perfect right out of the box. It take my photography to the next level. I certainly enjoy the constant fstop especially in lower light situations.
The lens is a bit heavy but after researching it for so long, I was prepared for that. It hasn't come off my camera since I got it!

Very nice walk around lens
Very nice walk around lens. Built like a tank and not light but not oppressively heavy, either. Having the dock is great but definitely fed my OCD! Honestly, except in extreme close-ups when I've used it as a pseudomacro lens, I don't think the improvements are something I would notice without pixel peeping. The sling bag is a definite nice addition as well. I've not used the other items yet. Great lens and a great vendor. I had some question (see OCD remark above!) and they answered promptly and professionally. Nice purchase.

great lens
Using this with a Nikon D5300. Works wonderfully; way better than the kit lens. A little big and heavy, but it's a small price to pay for the performance. The kit was fantastic, especially for the price. Besides the lens, it included the USB dock, a backpack which can hold the camera and two lenses, filters (UV, polarizing, and ND), as well as a lens cleaning kit. All for the price of the lens itself elsewhere. Very pleased with this purchase!

Best in class
Fantastic clarity. I did not have any issues with autofocus, which was a big concern. I tried the far left and right single points, and they work just fine. Hefty lens but feels very well made and is definitely worth the weight. The focal range of 18-35 is great for wide angle work and portraits/macro. Getting really good bokeh and minimal distortion, vignetting, etc. I love this lens on my D3400. Highest dxomark for this camera too, beats Nikon primes.
Question & Answer
Question :
Will this fit a Sony a6000? Thanks
Answer :
I do not know the Sony a600. but understand it uses an E mount. I did some research and to mount the Sigma 18-35mm art lens, you would need the MC-11 adapter which adapts the Canon ef (this lens mount) to the sony a6000. Hope this helps.
Question :
will this work for black magic 6k pocket camera? I’m using for light photography and short films?
Answer :
The Black Magic 6k does use EF lens's. However it is a close to full frame camera. It has a slight crop but emulates a full frame. This lens is used for Crop sensor cameras and not full frame ones. Can this work? Probably, however you might notice some vignette.
Question :
Es el 18-35mm f1.8 montura ef?
Answer :
Exelente lente muy nitido, lo Unico Malo es que es muy pesado
Question :
I know what auto focus us but does this lens have auto metering for the canon 90d?
Answer :
Correct me if I am wrong, but the Metering is done by your camera, Not the lens. That being said, I have the T7i and TTL works fine with this lens.
Question :
Your ad states " includes sigma usa 4-year warranty." the warranty paper i received says one year warranty. which is correct?
Answer :
Print the ad, note the seller, I submitted for my warranty and it was covered.
Question :
How do I get this lens to autofocus???
Answer :
Make sure the button on the side of the lens is switched to "AF" which is auto focus. Then make sure your camera has the autofocus set.
Question :
Will this lens work with a black magic pocket 4K cinema camera?
Answer :
The BMPCC 4K has the right sized sensor, but you will need a Micro 4/3 to EF (or whatever mount you get the lens in) adapter if I'm not mistaken
Question :
Hi can I trade my Nikon Sigma lens for Canon one? I purchased from you.
Answer :
Perhaps Direct message them instead?
Question :
Would this lens work with a gh 5 if i have an ef adapter?
Answer :
Yes the ef adapter will work because this lens is ef mount.
Question :
Does this bundle include a hood??
Answer :
Bundle is different that the one I had ordered but I suspect it will come with a hood. A hood is shown in the product images and is likely part of the basic lens set (mine came with a hood, lens cap and bayonet cap in addition to the "bundle items").
