Sigma's legendary 18-35mm adapted for cinema — the cine version with T2 speed for APS-C filming.
The Sigma 18-35mm T2 Cine is the cinema adaptation of Sigma's legendary 18-35mm f/1.8 Art zoom — the world's first f/1.8 zoom lens. The cine version adds geared focus and iris rings, de-clicked aperture, and luminous markings for professional cinema workflows. The T2 rating reflects the actual light transmission of the f/1.8 stills version.
Optical performance is the same outstanding quality as the stills Art version — a benchmark-setting APS-C zoom. Sharpness is exceptional throughout the range. The constant T2 aperture provides professional-level speed for low-light cinematography. The zoom range covers the essential wide-to-normal range for APS-C, replacing multiple cinema primes.
Canon EF mount — compatible with Super 35 cinema cameras. Filter thread is 72mm. Weight is approximately 1,060 grams — heavier than the stills version due to cinema housing. Build quality is cinema-grade with full geared rings. The 18-35mm range on Super 35 covers approximately 27-52mm equivalent — the most useful general-purpose range.
Available on the used cinema equipment market at moderate prices. Check geared ring smoothness. The legendary stills optics in a cinema housing make this one of the most popular cinema zoom lenses for indie and professional productions. The T2 speed across the entire zoom range is genuinely unique and invaluable for low-light production work.
