Sigma 18-35mm T2 Cine High-Speed Zoom Lens with a Canon EF mount.

1. Overview:

   • The Sigma 18-35mm T2 Cine lens is designed for filmmakers and videographers who need high-quality optics with precise control. It's part of Sigma's lineup of cinema lenses.
   • The lens provides an image circle that covers Super 35mm-sized sensors.
   • It features a maximum T-stop of 2, which means it's quite fast and allows for better low-light performance.
   • Unlike some zoom lenses, the aperture does not ramp over the zoom range, maintaining consistent exposure throughout.

2. Technical Specifications:

   • Focal Length Range: 18-35mm
   • Mount: Canon EF
   • Maximum Aperture (T-stop): T2 (constant)
   • Iris: The lens has a 9-bladed iris, which results in round, pleasing out-of-focus highlights (bokeh).
   • Focus Scale: Marked in feet (standard cine focus scale).
   • Zoom Barrel Rotation: 160° (for smooth zoom adjustments).
   • Focus Barrel Rotation: 180° (from close focus to infinity).
   • Iris Ring Rotation: 60° (clickless for seamless adjustments during shooting).
   • Front Diameter: 95mm (compatible with matte boxes and filters).
   • Weight: Approximately 3.19 pounds (1.45 kg).

3. Build Quality and Features:

   • The lens body is made entirely of metal, ensuring durability for professional use.
   • It's dustproof and splashproof, similar to Sigma's 150-600mm F5-6.3 DG OS HSM Sports lens.
   • The lens control rings (focus, zoom, and iris) have standard 0.8 Mod gears, making it compatible with follow focus systems.
   • The main markings are in luminous paint for visibility in low-light conditions.
   • Laser-engraved intermediate markings ensure durability.
   • The lens is designed to comply with SIGMA's CCI standard, simplifying intercutting between lenses in post-production.

4. Additional Notes:

   • The lens has a removable 1/4"-20 support foot that can be used with rod-mounted lens supports.
   • It's parfocal, meaning it maintains focus while zooming.
   • Autofocus and image stabilization are available (compatible with certain camera bodies).
   • The lens is also compatible with servo lens controllers for more precise zoom control.

Remember, this lens is a fantastic choice for filmmakers who want excellent optical performance, smooth focus and zoom control, and reliable build quality. Whether you're shooting narrative films, documentaries, or commercials, the Sigma 18-35mm T2 Cine lens won't disappoint!
