Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 DC HSM Art Nikon Mount – Good Condition, Hama brand UV haze filter, Original Box & Padded Case w/ Caps/Hood included, Light Wear + Hood Crack (Cosmetic, no performance Impact)

All autofocus (HSM ultrasonic motor), manual focus override, zoom, and aperture functions perform flawlessly—no issues with speed, accuracy, quiet operation, or build quality. Smooth rings and reliable performance.

Key advantages:

1. Constant f/1.8 aperture throughout 18-35mm — Rare brightness for a zoom; excellent low-light capability, creamy bokeh, and sharp results wide open. No exposure shifts when zooming—perfect for video and consistent shooting.
2. Versatile wide-to-normal range (27-52.5mm equivalent on APS-C) — Ideal for street, environmental portraits, events, weddings, landscapes, astrophotography, and creative work.
3. Sigma Art series quality: Hyper Sonic Motor (fast/quiet AF), SLD and aspherical elements for minimal aberrations, Super Multi-Layer Coating for high contrast/flare control.
4. Solid metal construction — Durable for pro use.
5. Widely regarded as one of the best APS-C zooms ever made—prime-like sharpness in a fast, versatile package.

Optics:

1. Glass is clean: no scratches, no haze, no fungus, no coating damage.
2. Delivers sharp, high-contrast images with beautiful rendering—center-to-edge performance rivals primes, especially at f/1.8–f/4.

Cosmetic condition:

1. Good to very good overall with some wear on the barrel from normal handling.
2. Additionally, there is a crack on the included lens hood (purely cosmetic; the hood still mounts securely and functions for flare control—replacements are inexpensive if desired).
3. These are surface-level cosmetic issues only—they do not affect optics, mechanics, focus/zoom rings, aperture, AF performance, or image quality in any way.
4. The lens has been well used but cared for, and it performs as intended.

Included accessories (complete original kit):

1. Original front and rear lens caps.
2. Sigma lens hood (with noted crack—still fully usable).
3. Original box.
4. Original padded protective case (great for safe storage or shipping).
5. Hama UV filter (high-quality protective filter—can remain attached to safeguard the front element from scratches/dust during shooting or transport).
