Product Information

Full details

The Sigma 18-35mm T2 High-Speed Cine Lens is an elite-tier zoom lens designed for professional cinematographers and videographers who demand ultra-high-resolution output up to 8K. It provides a consistent T2 aperture, making it an ideal choice for Super 35mm sensor cameras needing reliable light intake across variable lighting conditions; however, its manual focus design and robust build mean it is significantly heavier and less suited for run-and-gun photography compared to standard stills lenses.

FAQs

Does this lens feature image stabilization?

No, the Sigma 18-35mm T2 is a purely optical cine lens and does not contain internal image stabilization components.

Can I use this lens for still photography?

While it can mount to a camera, it is a manual focus lens with no electronic autofocus capabilities, making it impractical for most still photography.

Is this lens compatible with full-frame sensors?

This lens is optimized for Super 35mm sensors. Using it on a full-frame camera may result in vignetting at wider focal lengths.

What is the gear pitch of the focus and zoom rings?

The lens uses industry-standard 0.8 module gears for focus, zoom, and iris rings.

Can I attach filters to the front of the lens?

Yes, the lens features an 82mm front filter thread for easy attachment of circular filters.

How should I store this lens for long periods?

Store the lens in a cool, dry place inside a hard case with silica gel packets to prevent moisture buildup within the internal elements.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty reading markings in dark environments

Ensure the lens has been exposed to ambient light to 'charge' the luminous paint, or use a small LED light to illuminate the ring markings.

Gears not engaging with follow-focus unit

Check that the follow-focus gears are set to the correct pitch and that the lens is properly centered within the rig's support bracket.

Lens elements appear foggy or dusty

Use a specialized blower to dislodge debris. If internal elements appear foggy, contact an authorized Sigma service center, as the lens is weather-sealed and should not be opened by the user.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

The Sigma 18-35mm T2 lens is natively designed for Canon mount systems compatible with Super 35mm sensors. To set up for a shoot, ensure your follow-focus system is aligned with the standardized gear rings on the lens barrel. Because of its 82mm front filter diameter, it is compatible with a wide range of screw-on filters, though it is best paired with a 4x5.65 cine matte box for optimal light control. Always store the lens in a padded cinema case to protect the glass. To clean, use a professional-grade lens blower to remove dust, and follow with an optical lens cloth to gently wipe the front and rear elements. The splash-proof seal helps in light rain, but it should be dried immediately after use.
