The Sigma 18-35mm T2 Cine High-Speed Zoom Lens with a PL mount and with focus scales marked in feet provides an image circle that covers Super 35mm-sized sensors. It features a maximum T-stop of 2, and the aperture does not ramp over the zoom range. It shares common lens gear positions with the other lens in the Sigma High-Speed Zoom lineup, which makes for rapid lens changes.

The 9-bladed iris provides round out-of-focus highlights for a natural-looking bokeh. The lens barrel features 180° of rotation from close focus to infinity, the zoom barrel rotates 160°, and the clickless iris ring features 60° of rotation. All three lens control rings are geared with cine-standard 0.8 Mod gears, and the focus scale is marked in feet. The front of the lens is 95mm in diameter with a removable 1/4"-20 support foot that helps support the lens with the aid of a 1/4"-20 rod-mounted lens support (not included).

All the lenses in the lineup are designed to comply with SIGMA's CCI standard simplifying when intercutting between lenses.

Sharing the same dustproof and splashproof construction as the SIGMA 150-600mm F5-6.3 DG OS HSM｜Sports, each ring and mount is sealed to prevent water and dust from entering.

The lens body is made completely of metal to stand up to the rigors of the production day.

The main lens markings are in luminous paint for easy visibility in low light situations. The intermediate markings are laser-engraved for durability. The focus and zoom markings are readable from either side of the lens.

The lens features a 95mm front diameter for compatibility with a wide variety of matte boxes and incorporates an 82mm front filter thread.

All three lens gears are standard 0.8 Mod and feature a damper that eliminates metallic sounds when you reach the end of the lens travel.

The lens includes a removable support foot.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. are these lenses parfocal?

A: This is not a parfocal lens.

Q: 2. does PL version have /i metadata?

A: No, the PL version does not have /i metadata.

Q: 3. Will this lens work on the z cam e2 s6?

A: The Z Cam E2-S6 in the Canon EF-mount version will work with the Sigma 18-35mm Cine Lens (Canon EF Mount).

Q: 4. Is this lens parfocal?

A: Sigma does not state that the Sigma 18-35mm T2 High-Speed Zoom Lens (PL) is parfocal, but user tests have found that the lens is very close to perfectly parfocal, exhibiting a less than 0.1mm focal variation across the zoom range.

Q: 5. Can we shim this lens?

A: Like any lens, this lens has the ability to be shimmed so that it may be properly collimated. Unlike some lenses that are available with user changeable mounts, this lens is not sold with the understanding that the user (and not a qualified technician) will do their own collimating. If you feel confident to do so, it is your lens, go ahead. Just be aware such action will probably void any warranty.

Q: 6. Does any information show up in the viewfinder when attaching to an FS7? Such as F-Stop? Focal Length?

A: All Sigma cine lenses (except PL mount) have electronic communication for lens information to the body. This will include focal length, shooting distance and aperture.

Q: 7. Will this work on a 1dx mark ii for video?

A: This lens is meant to cover Super35 which is a 1.6x crop of full-frame. The 1DX Mark II's 4K is a 1.4x crop. Therefore this lens cannot cover it. If you were to mount it on the camera, 35mm will probably be fine but zooming out the 18mm, you would definitely get vignetting. We suggest using full-frame lenses for the 1DX Mark II 4K recording.

Q: 8. What is the difference between this lens and the sigma 18-35 that is much cheaper?

A: This cinema lens is manual focus only, has gears, greater throw, accurate markings and more robust housing made with finer tolerances. This are specifications that come into play on higher level video productions particularly ones that are working day to day with a crew. For one man band personal video it could be overkill.

Q: 9. What is the flange distance on the PL version of this lens?

A: 52mm

Q: 10. Putting this on the BMPCC6K will it be 18-35 or will it be 18(×1.55)-35(×1.55) like the sigma art zoom.

A: The PCC6K has a 1.558X Crop Factor. An 18 to 35mm will be the equivalent of a 28 - 55.5mm lens.
