The brightest zoom available !
Unfortunately, APS-C only, otherwise it would be a nice standard zoom for my 6d with a great FOV !
DPReview Gear of the year 2013 - Part 4: Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 DC HSM
Trying to usefully review a camera often means trying to put yourself in the shoes of another consumer, with different needs and expectations from my own. So it's not my intention to seem disingenuous by selecting a product I can't picture buying for myself.
However, while I can't imagine buying the Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 DC HSM (mainly because I can't imagine owning a DSLR again), I have a pretty good idea of how excited the me of a few years ago would have been. That's why it's my product of the year.
Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 DC HSM: What I Love
- Brings previously unseen capability to APS-C
- Consistently impressively sharp
- Covers my most-used focal lengths
- Keenly priced
- Fast focusing and well built
The reason I like the 18-35mm so much is because it allows APS-C shooters to do things they've not really been able to achieve before. The exciting thing about it for me isn't so much the fact that it's a constant F1.8 – cool though that sounds – it's what this means for photography. It gives you a lens that behaves comparably to a 28-50mm F2.8 on full frame, giving the same control over depth-of-field and similar low-light potential as you'd get with the larger format. The result is I got some photos I rather like with cameras that are within reach or already in the hands of a lot of people.
|Although it's far from being a conventional portrait lens, the 18-35mm gives a fair degree of flexibility, with impressive sharpness when well focused.
And, while 28-50mm isn't the most flexible zoom range in the world, if you think of it as a collection of primes, including a 28mm, 35mm, 40mm and 50mm equivalent, stuffed into a single tube, then that's really pretty impressive. And it becomes all the more impressive if you were to actually try to go out and find that set of primes that fast for APS-C cameras, because nobody has bothered to make them for you. To come close to completing that set, you'll have to pick the nearest match from lenses designed for full frame, which often means all-out, pro-grade F1.4s, and the price tags that come with them.
APS-C users of the world unite
When I started at dpreview I was a keen DSLR shooter but, not being committed (or wealthy) enough to buy an EOS 5D, I shot APS-C. And I was hardly alone in that; for much of the last decade, APS-C has been the de-facto standard format for most photographers. More realistically enthusiast-grade full frame cameras have only arrived in the past twelve-or-so months and, at around $2000/GBP1500, they're still out of the reach of a lot of people.
So, if you want to picture the 'typical' keen photographer and you imagine someone shooting with an APS-C DSLR, you're likely to be right more than 90% of the time. And yet, most of the big manufacturers have never made any great effort to design lenses for these people. Sure, the big manufacturers have a 16-50 or 17-55 F2.8 lens in the lineup, but that's often the extent of their high-end lenses and their prices are not inconsiderable. Beyond that, APS-C users have historically been rather poorly served (a cynic might note that this paucity of APS-C-intended lenses promotes the plausibly spurious notion of an 'upgrade path' to full frame).
|The 18-35mm F1.8 gives a touch of depth-of-field control and the ability to get better results in lower light than a more conventional 17-55mm F2.8. The slight focus error in this image could well be mine.
The 18-35mm F1.8 doesn't push you into an awkward limbo between two systems – it lets you harness the more of the potential of the camera you've already bought, already know how to use and feel at home with. It doesn't give you the lovely big viewfinder that you get with a full frame camera, but it gives you many of the other advantages.
And, while the 50mm equivalent long end of the zoom leaves it a little short, it's still a lens that covers the focal length range I shoot with most often. It's all too easy to fall into the trap of spending money on a nice wide-angle lens or a fast telephoto zoom, only to find you're still using the built-to-a-budget-of-nearly-nothing kit zoom that came with the camera, most of the time. For the photography I like to do, the 18-35mm paired with a fast 90mm-equiv prime would leave me pretty happy.
|Ranging from wide-angle to just-beyond normal, the 18-35mm covers most of the focal lengths I most often use - almost like a set of F1.8 primes that happen to come in a single tube.
It's not perfect – some cameras (particularly Canon, based on our experience with several bodies and several copies of the lens), struggle to focus it well enough to get the most out of it. And yes, that's a major drawback in a lens. Thankfully, we had a lot more luck with the Nikon-mount version, and it's on that basis I've selected it (though we're seen some complaints from Nikon owners, too).
Ultimately, even if you don't subscribe to my theory that APS-C users are being taken for granted, there are still a couple of factors that would still make it my product of the year. It's astonishingly sharp, at every focal length and every aperture, and it's sensibly priced – often selling for less than most camera makers' F2.8 APS-C zooms. And, if that's not enough for you, look at it this way: it's the fastest consumer zoom in the world.
This is part 4 in a series of articles where DPReview staff will be highlighting their personal standout products of the year.

The brightest zoom available !
I've pre-orded this lens for my Pentax K-3 but was in two minds due to it's large size & weight. It potentially replaces 3 of the 5 prime lenses I currently walk about with (15mm F4, 21mm F3.2, 31mm F1.8, 43mm F1.9 77mm F1.8) but it's not exactly true when the article says that the Sigma will give us something APS-C shooters don't have now (i.e. wide aperture except perhaps there aren't too many 18mm F1.8 lenses). Us prime shooters have that already.
Anyway, given the reported image quality, the Sigma zoom is at least more convenient than a bunch of primes however they are much more unobstrusive...
I pre-ordered this for my Pentax K-5 but after discovering the Ricoh GR (I know) I'm seriously thinking of jettisoning my pre-order and going with the Ricoh.
The lens just looks so big.
Some months ago I was about to buy a 28mm prime for my reflex, then I decided to go for the Ricoh GR. Well, I am not going back!
I already have a Sigma 150-500mm F5-6.3 APO DG OS HSM, mostly for shooting birds. I love it, gives me fantastic results with my Canon EOS 50D and my 5D Mk.II. I'm wondering if I can use the Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 DC HSM likewise with my 5D Mk.II, looks like a beautiful lens. Could use it for both landscapes and portraits.
The Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 DC HSM is specifically designed for crop sensors. On your FF 5D is will have a LOT of vignette.
the corner resolution of this lens is better
This lens is stunning. How much would you pay for a 24mm prime or a 18mm prime for nikon Dx? I have the 17-55mm which produces great results for me. But if i had the cash i would seriously consider this.
truely .. the gear of the year!!
I used this as my only DSLR lens for my Canon 7D on a recent cycling trip in China, no regrets, very versatile from close-ups to scenery. Best piece of glass I have ever brought. Focusing is spot on and sharp. (I also took a m/43 and high end compact too). This lens lets me create awesome pics and it means I won't be upgrading my 7D for another couple of years. I'll only upgrade when some radical new camera and/or technology comes out. The lens has breathed new into this camera and for now, I'm really happy with this combination as it produces surreal pics
the corner resolution of this lens is better than 24-70/2.8L2 on 35mm full-frame. really amazing aspherical design.
:) Seriously buddy I do agree with you, this lens is a jewel. I got this for my Canon 650D/T4i and now instead of going for full frame like 6D I am waiting for 7D Mark II because I am seriously I believe that with this lens I dont need to fall for full frame trap :)
SMSab .. dude!! yes it will give you better Dof but there is no trap in FF, unless you have some exceptional problems with it. FF will still give you better higher ISO performance and DR. 24mm is wider and more useful when you can have it and 70 mm is also same, very useful focal length and will give you even better dof for portraits.
THe problems are too numerous to mention. Nikon's 18-35mm in both incarnations is a poor lens, but Full-frame has far more use for this zoom than APS-C. What do you do with a lens that is not wide enough and certainly not long enough for general use? UK houses are so tiny interior shots with a 27mm are limited. It should be 16mm for a Nikon etc and 14mm for a Canon to be useful.
And then it has to focus in the correct direction WITHOUT A SEPARATE DOCK (Jeeezzzz!) and be accurate with no faffing! The 16-85 VR just DOES so much more,even though it may do so with less acuity. It will focus faster, its focussing be more accurate straightaway, so "after a day or two of testing...." is a way of comforting oneself for having bought a lemon, sir!
"It has to focus in the correct direction WITHOUT A SEPARATE DOCK (Jeeezzzz!)" makes no sense at all.
When I got back from a trip to see my Nephew, wife, and 2 kids ages 4 and 6 I took two lenes for my D7100, the Sigma 18-35mm 1.8 TUNED and a 50mm Nikor 1.8. Most of my shots were indoors so the 27 to 75 mm that this combo worked out well but I never got to try the 50mm lens. The 18-35mm stayed on the camera the whole time including going outdoors around Mt. Diablo east of San Francisco.
However I did have focusing problems before I tuned the combination. After a day or two of tuning and testing, I set the camera to an AF of -4 (for all focal lengths) and using the USB dock for the lens I set 6 feet to infinity as -2 for 18 mm and -4 for 35mm. All the focal lengths in between did not need any adjustment for the lens itself, but the camera and lens combination seemed to need the -4 in the camera. I prefer a very slight front focusing bias anyway. The USB dock and testing is a real god send.
I have an unloved DLSR which deselected itself from my affections due to Nikon providing me with a very fussy to use camera...When I saw a very keenly priced run out deal on a mirror less M43 my love affair with M43 took off. I have Lumix lens set but guys I'd like this one for M43....but am not prepared to dig out the D90 and hope. I'd buy a cheap Canon but not if focus issues might arise...ah well....
Ponder this. This lens gives perfectly good shots at 35mm mounted on a FF camera. Enlarge the image circle, shift the focal lenghts a bit, and Sigma could have a 28-55 f/1.8 full-frame lens for us.
As the news item today suggests that Nikon firmware updates for APS-C machines are knocking out compatibility with third -party batteries, should anyone risk buying a Sigma or Tamron etc lens anymore?
sorry the author of this piece lost me with the "because I can't imagine owning a DSLR again" Really? I want to read a review by someone who is already dismissive of the thing I enjoy? That rationalization does not add credibility it only sets a negative tone and diminishes our enjoyment.
I don't care if the review ends up being positive, it is condescending and elitist from the opening thesis even if that is not the author's intent.
in theory it's easier to make quality lenses for mirrorless mounts but the reality is that we still have the best lens line-ups for SLRs and no mirrorless system can even qualify as an option if quality image is what one wants, including Sony FE.
but no body can argue with someone what he wants.
It's certainly not meant to be dismissive of anything - just because I can't imagine myself owning a DSLR again doesn't mean I think the same should be true for anyone else.
It just so happens that a DSLR isn't the best match for my current needs, but there are plenty of people for whom it is. I didn't mean to suggest that my personal choice is better than someone who makes a different decision, I'm just trying to be honest and open about my own perspective.
Then at best your comment was unnecessary information as it pertains to the article, and, because we are talking about it now, obviously distracted from the message.
At worst it came across as if you have "seen the light" that others still don't see and wouldn't dare stoop down to purchase a DSLR.
I really want it. Must have for my lovely K-5. In addition to Tamron 90/2.8 Macro 1:1 and Zeiss 180/2.8 it'complete set I need for today.
It would be interesting to adaptastick (perhaps even speedboost) this onto one of the new Sony A7 bodies and see how the image circle holds up.
Sony's own APS-C 10-18mm (IIRC) actually covers plenty more than just APS-C and is almost fully usable between 13-15 mm, if this lens does something similar that would be awesome.
18-35/1.8 has very tight image circle, which may mean a higher level of design using aspherical elements.
"However, while I can't imagine buying the Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 DC HSM (mainly because I can't imagine owning a DSLR again)..."
This explains why DPReview is pushing mirrorless cameras so hard. It's not just Richard Butler, but almost everyone in and everything published by DPReview seem to be strongly biased towards mirrorless offerings. Nothing wrong with that, just saying. ;)
"pushing mirrorless so hard"?
I don't know what you're smoking. From what I can tell DPR review a far higher proportion of DSLRs released than mirrorless - pretty much every Canon and Nikon SLR gets reviewed. Try finding even half of all m4/3 bodies reviewed here.
DPR is also not particularly negative about DSLRs:
Canon 70D - 83% - Gold
Canon 100D - 78% - Gold
Nikon D7100 - 85% - Gold
Pentax K-5 83% - Gold
Pentax K-5 II - 80% - Gold
I see no evidence whatsoever for your perceived "bias towards mirrorless". Maybe you are biased yourself?
Marvol, I agree with you - no real evidence of DPR "pushing" mirrorless, unless presenting it as a technological alternative is "pushing" it.
It seems every article or review has an obligatory few threads of DSLR vs. mirrorless sword waving. I seriously doubt there was such tension in big one eras of photography.
"Your rangefinder 35mm is a quiet endorsement of a bourgeois agenda."
"Oh yeah, well your twin lens sucks muffins when shooting sports."
The ironic manifestations in the broad world of the internet era are the many examples of myopathy.
You are dead right. Quite often the first or second reply to a straight question about a DSLR starts off: "Have you considered a mirror-less camera... "
The best lens for APS-C ! Bravo, Sigma !
imagine if Sigma released a m43 version. The APS-C one is uncomfortably large and heavy. The same size could be made in f/1.6 or f/1.5 for m43
Exactly. Then, Panasonic will have a hard time to justify the 30% higher cost for an almost 2-stops slower zoom with the 12-35mm F2.8.
Olympus used to offer a 4_3rd 14-35 f/2 lens that weighs 900g!
If they make one for mirrorless, it'll be lighter and smaller. And if Sony or Canon releases an APS-C equivalent for mirrorless, it'll also be smaller and lighter. :)
ZD14-35/2 had to overcome the relatively long flange-back distance (about 76mm equiv., or far worse than 35mm format SLRs) and it had a high target to have very low vegnetting (which was really very good).
that's why ZD14-35/2 had to be so big and heavy, 900g compared to 600g of EF24-70/4LIS.
and why the SLR 4/3" mount is a rubbish and should be abandoned.
> same size could be made in f/1.6 or f/1.5 for m43
f/1.4 at least. smaller f-numbers should be possible for m4/3" is at least a better mount than APS-C SLR ones (which are almost as bad as SLR 4/3").
I'm loving my EM1, but I'm with you - the only thing bad I can think about this lens is that Sigma are not making an equivalent for m4/3 [which arguably needs it even more for fine DoF control].
I've left APSc behind [although I'm still hanging on to my 5DII], but this lens is a god-send to any serious shooter still into the format. I don't think APSc offers enough of an advantage over m4/3 to justify its size/weight, but large as this lens is, it does help to alter that matrix somewhat.
M4/3 is still the better choice for me, but if you APSc people ask me where the equivalent of this lens is for the smaller system [and of course it would have to be both wider and faster] there is no answer...
5D is not an APS-C camera. It's Full Frame. 4 times the goodness of m43.
That was the point - I no longer have an APSc backup camera, but I'm not giving up 35mm format just yet - even though four times the size does not equal four times the goodness.
I'm not a fan of any format but currently there is no option other than Canon or Nikon 35mm format systems if the quality is what one wants (though some medium format does have some advantages).
I am not a fan of MFT, but using it heavily.
The Olympus 12-40 gives the critical 24 and also better close focus. If/when minimal DOF really is needed, there are options available for MFT. Therefore the 12-40 on MFT seemed to me the better compromise than the 18-35 1.8 on APS-C.
I would rather have this one on a Nikon than a version for MFT, to profit from better dynamic range and less noise than in MFT cameras.
> minimal DOF really is needed
I'd rather have deeper DOF but deeper DOF always comes with lower image quality, more noise in low light, which is a physical barrier with no work around (physically impossible).
from optics point of view, DOF translates directly into light gathering capability regardless of sensor size or f-number.
even for those who have no knowledge of physics, it should be easily seen, from all the cameras on the market from medium format to mobile phones and all the lenses on them, that deep DOF means low image quality in low light.
True in the way that deep DOF requires small lens opening which brings diffraction. Low light on the other hand is not an obstacle to good IQ if you can expose long enough with low ISO. Which is possible only with static subjects, even stars move too fast to use low ISO.
time is included in the light gathering capability already.
amount of light gathered per unit time, like a second.
It took four months to arrive after pre ordering, but I finally got an F mount 18-35 ƒ/1.8.
I didn't doubt the reviews - so many were unequivocally positive.
And they were justified.
This is lens a sex machine. (since this is DPR I'll point out that this is a metaphorical, not literal statement).
Worth the wait.
My only complaint is that it should have IS, at narrower apertures, I keep raising my ISOs above my comfort zones. Minor quibble really, since the overall performance more than makes up for that. Besides, I think of this lens as a prime, and how many primes have IS?
I'm starting to think that the Pentax K3 and this would make the perfect light, indoor event shooter.
Use it on a Sony system and you will get IS with this lens :)
And with Pentax...
^^ Sadly this lens doesn't come in a Pentax mount. :(
It's on it's way for Pentax - and Sony - been pushed back to Feb2014 I think (you wonder if demand coupled with complexity and associated low yields plus the price is meaning Sigma can't make enough of them)
My K-3 is seriously out-resolving my Tamron 17-50mm so I'm looking forward to being able to replace it with this when they do get to general availability. As an event shooter I think it'll be great!
I'm not much a fan for Sony's Translucent Mirror models as they generally have lower low-light, high-ISO performance when compared to the traditional models in my experience.
No, that's not just your experience, that's actually a fact Nukunukoo - the pellicle mirror steals that little bit of extra light. But you're in luck: Sony seems to be abandoning that technology as we speak, denials notwithstanding. :)
The "[stolen] little bit of extra light" is more like 30% of the incoming light, isn't it?
Yes. 1/3 of a stop.
In real life I doubt you will really be able to tell any real differences TBH between current APS-C camera bodies.
I have taken plenty of useful ISO 3200 shots on my Sony cameras and I have compared them favorably with my friends Nikon and Canon APS-C cameras.
Sensor format does matter though. FF will look better than anything APS-C can offer with the sole exception of the Fuji X-Trans sensor. I have used a 5D Mk 3 and its ISO 12800 look about as good (bad ?) as the ISO 3200 results from my Sony.
Leica D Summilux 25mm 1,4 on the E-M1... you'll forget about anything else...
Oh no, it causes amnesia? I guess shutter shock is not the only thing to worry about...
While I am a M43 user, I need my memory to work, so I guess I'll get an APS body and the 18-35 instead...
Assuming you like a 50mm equiv FoV and are prepared to spend $2k to get it. Personally I think that's a massive waste of money.
Own the Sigma, used the Leica on the GH3/BMPC. No thanks, I'll remember the Sigma...
25/0.7 sounds good as a standard prime for up to 500 US.
I find the lens a remarkable and impressive technical achievement, but I agree with Richard's sentiment that this is a lens which I can't imagine owning myself. These days the only times the big and heavy DSLR comes out is when I'm taking photos for other people, in which case I have the luxury of optimising the lighting. (We all managed perfectly fine with medium format and its f/4-5.6 lenses back in the day.) When I'm taking photos of low light scenarios for clients it's usually situations like events and stage performances, in which case I'm looking for fast telephotos rather than wide angles. If I'm getting to the point where I need an f/1.8 at ISO6400 then most likely the lighting is going to look rubbish for the client regardless of what lens I use.
When it comes to personal photography I'm using more discreet pocket cameras - usually an X100 these days, or my iPhone. I am amazed at how versatile the X100 is and concur with DPReview's Gear Of The Year award for the X100S.
its a great lens. but the gushing about as if a 1.8 zoom creates unprecedented capabilities. it does not. you get the same low light capabilities and dof that full frame f/2.8 zooms do minus some image quality and a more useful zoom range. Now of course this plus an apc camera is cheaper. and its a fine lens great quality. but the capability is not unprecedented, just the f stop
This is true, but as the article points out, many have been lumped with FF leftovers if you want a fast lens for the most popular interchangeable lens format (not mount) in the digital age. This lens fills a sizeable gap, one that is in every mount from every manufacturer of APS-C DSLRs.
All smaller sensors have an advantage in being able to design smaller and faster lenses for it, but noone until now seems to have been willing to do so for crop DSLRs.
This lens is a stunning achievement in breaking down barriers imposed by the OEMs. Is it like an f2.8 zoom on a FF? Yes. Is it like no other lens we've ever seen for an APS-C DSLR? Yes!
Slap this on the Oly EM1 via adapter and you have something interesting.
wouldnt be wide enough. better on an aps camera
let's hope Sigma make a 12-35/1.4 for m3/4".
It would be a good all around lens semi wide to almost portrait length on a M43.
36 equiv is semi wide and close enough to the classic 35
Nifty at 50 and portraits at 70mm. A comparison to the new 12-40 would be cool.
What is up with all the E-M1 trolls seriously?
This lens will work like a great big bag of crap on an E-M1. If you want a fast zoom, why not have a look at Oly's own 14-35mm f2?
Who would be comparing those two as well? Are you, as an E-M1 user (assuming) going to be considering buying and adapting the Sigma? Considering AF speed is supposedly one of the biggest strength of the E-M1 I tend to doubt it.
ZD14-35/2 is a slow zoom, not too slow though.
Putting this on any mirrorless camera would be wasteful - it's a large retrofocal design to make space for the reflex mirror, on a mirrorless camera it's just wasted space that could be used to make the lens smaller.
Well there is a speed booster for that, makes it just as wide as it would be on aps-c ,plus one f stop brighter.
Problem is: how do you want to control the aperture?
This lens is about the same size and weight as the Tamron 24 to 70 f2.8.
The Tamron will cost several hundred more, but will have a more versatile range, longer and wider.
Used with a D610 or other compact full frame, Tamron gives a system not much heavier than the Sigma with D7100 body. Consider alternatives before getting this lens.
Right, and kit lens for D610 will also be "more versatile, longer and wider" not to mention lighter ...
Ever heard of following things ? Picture quality, light sensitivity, bokeh, contrast, 3d effect, flare resistance, CA control ?
Did not think so. There is much more to consider when buying a lens then reach and weight. And as much as i like the Tamron it's bokeh is nervous at best.
Ever heard of following things ? Picture quality, light sensitivity, bokeh, contrast, 3d effect, flare resistance, CA control ?
Did not think so.
You thought wrong! Of course I heard of those. Just suggesting an alternative that might be useful to some. Sorry if my suggestion is improper.
This is for DX cameras...while the Tamron is a FF lens
All well and good if you are looking to buy from scratch, but if you have a D7100 which is going to be more useful?
For a DX-type lens, why check alternatives when the is none? The sigma is essentially hree to four very high quality primes built-in. Been using it with the D7100 for my indoor event shoots and the quality and bokeliciousness is spot-on. Highly, HIGHLY recommended!
If you already have a good APS body then this lens is a lot cheaper than getting a new full frame body and a 24-70 f2.8 lens.
Yes, we should thank Sigma for creating a DX dream team. For many photographers, the combination of this lens and the APO 50-150mm F2.8 EX DC OS HSM would be all they need for their APS-C camera.
It's just such a shame that the 50-150mm OS has become so big and heavy. The old version was substantially lighter and smaller, making it a nicer lens for portraits than a 70-200mm (both in terms of being less intimidating and easier to wave around).
Yep 50-150/2.8 EXII was lovely.
I'm kind of sorry Sigma is going from not exactly tack sharp, but overall lovely lenses with beautiful bokeh to brutally sharp soulless heavy bricks. (Just my 2 cents.)
Better quality == larger size.
my only complaint is I have not been able to get my hands on one yet ;)
I know after I do, I'll buy one :)
Like most I had long been aware of the conspicuous absence of 28mm and 35mm equivalent primes for APSC dSLRs. I'd kind of put it down to physical limitations making fast 18 and 23 mm lenses, even for a reduced image circle.
Pentax kinda-sorta manages to field something, with the DA21 and DA15. Although compact, both are quite slow. Sigma has had fast 20 and 24 mm primes in the catalog for some years, but have been poorly reviewed.
"A wide selection of small, fast 28 mm and 35 mm lenses" is actually a more compelling reason for me to upgrade to full-frame than the improved light gathering and/or reduced DOF.
The other solution, besides buying the Sigma of course, is to move to mirrorless. The shorter distance of the rear element to the focal plane makes small, wide primes more feasible.
The basic problem with the Sigma is existential: the times you want a fast 28mm or 35mm are exactly the times you DON'T want to be carting around an enormous lens with you.
I have had this lens (Nikon version) for a couple of weeks and it has opened up a new world of opportunities for me and other APS-C shooters. I have a few focusing issues which I hope will improve when I get my USB Dock, but to be fair I sometimes have inconsistent focus with my Nikon 35mm f1.8 as well. In my opinion it does 35mm f1.8 better than my f1.8g prime. CAs are better controlled on the Sigma.
Some persons complain about the limited zoom range. I look at it another way. It is a flexible prime that goes into territory that Nikon has refused to approach. It is a tool that if used carefully and patiently, can produce some stunning results. Canon, Nikon and others should thank Sigma for creating new opportunities for their cropped bodies...or maybe they want to curse Sigma for keeping us away from their full framed bodies and lenses.
This definitely has been my "Gear of the Year."
It would be great to have this adapted to Micro Four Thirds with an appropriate speed booster... that could become a F1.4 zoom!
Keeping the same focal length, the 2x crop factor would perhaps not make it an ideal all-purpose zoom at 36-70mm FF equivalent, but still good enough to replace and improve 3 primes.
If I didn't already own the Canon 17-55, I'd very likely buy this lens. I shoot basketball on a poorly lit court, and the f/2.8 forces me to ISO 6400 (occasionally I can get a bit faster -- thank you Canon for the 2.0 firmware for the 7D to allow auto ISO up to 6400) for a 1/400 shutter speed with +1 stop exposure compensation (because of our white home uniforms).
This lens would put me at ISO 2000-2500, where the 7D performs much better. It would also eliminate my tendency to frame too tightly and often miss things in the paint. The disadvantage would be shooting the PG bringing the ball up court, but I'd rather live with that.
(I use a second body with a Sigma 70-200 f/2.8 OS for shooting our D -- given that we have a ferocious shot blocker, that comes in handy.)
The sample images show that this 28-50 equivalent lens may not bring much excitement for the viewer (and the shooter). Something like a 14-30 mm APS-C zoom would be more desirable. OOps, there goes the Pentax 12-24mm F4.0, or the Sony 16-35mm F2.8. Well, these already also exist. F1.8 may not be the most important parameter.
Not much excitement? That's a F1.8 zoom, and is sharp like a prime!
Obviously if you just like ultra-wide that's not gonna work for you, but many people would find it exciting.
I agreed with Kadardr on the zoom range, i do prefer 16-35 than 28-50 full frame-wize. On the other hand, this 18-35 f1.8 sure brings unprecedented excitment.
^^ Thats the problem. You prefer something else but you are in the minority as the no of standard zooms far outsell UWA lenses.
If you know of any other f1.8 zoom on APS-C please let us know.
This lens is a new era in lens design and it comes at a relatively affordable price considering the IQ and sheer design superiority to existing lenses.
I also like ultra-wide myself, and would be happy to have my general purpose zoom reaching 24mm equivalent on the wide side. However I would really expect to have this on a standard F3.5-5.6 zoom, or at most an expensive F2.8 constant aperture (and the Sony 16-35mm F2.8 costs twice as much as this Sigma). This is F1.8, that's the realm of prime lenses!
I'd agree, if it started at 15mm (24mm equivalent on Canon 1.6-crop). All these crop-sensor lenses that start in the 28mm-equivalent range really, really annoy me. Even most compacts start at 24mm by now!!!
In fairness, most compacts are only able to offer 24mm equiv through software correction of distortion - which would make composition difficult in a DSLR lens.
A very good point. It's great to have 24mm capability but a lot of times, and especially with compacts, things are pretty soft at 24mm equivalent. Shoot raw for better quality and you get uncorrected semi-fisheye. Then, you move the pixels to straighten things out which is yet another trade-off.
Hmmm my old EX1 seems pretty straight even in RAW.
I know everyone has gone crazy with software corrections, have the newer compacts really became so bad?
@samfan - the EX1 is certainly using digital correction (assuming we're both talking about the Samsung). Your Raw converter may be applying the same corrections as the camera, of course.
Not the perfect image to make the point, but the easiest to lay my hands on:
Samsung EX1 Adobe Camera Raw conversion
Note I haven't said anything is bad or wrong with this approach - there are some cameras and lenses I really like that work this way. However, it's something you can't really do with a DSLR, because you'd see very different framing in the optical viewfinder, compared to the output image.
Thanks RB
TBH distortion never really bothered me unlike most people and I guess this is something that can be easily corrected. Still, I miss the times when designing a good camera/lens meant actually doing some good glass design. And not just 'We'll deal with it later with software' approach.
What bothers me is the size, its a lttle to big for street shooting, and what also bothers me is the implication does this mean we won't ever get a compact f 1.4 14mm 18mm 23 mm primes? Which it seems to, in which case FX still holds the edge and MFT / Fuji looks atractive altrrnatives to APS C
Fuji x cams ARE APS-C and if you want those specs you'd be better off going fuji. I own one.
My thoughts too. Everything is great about this Sigma, IQ, speed, price, and the FL range is just what I most want for street photo taking and walking about, but it is too intimidating for street shooting and too heavy for walking about.
So, really wonderful lens, exciting spec and unbelievable price or value, but practically speaking it is not so desirable if you think about it with a cool head.
If an electronic Speedbooster is available for M43 mount, then it would be different. 25-50mm f/1.2. Now, that would be equivalent to four f/1.2 lenses, 24mm, 28mm, 35mm, 50mm. I think that is different and worth the weight, and wait. And, it will be stabilised by the nice IBIS in Olympus cameras.
Sergey, this lens coupled with a speed-booster won't offer any low light or narrow DOF advantages compared to its current behavior on APS sensors. Whatever will be gained by the "faster" aperture will be offset by the noisier and smaller 43 sensor.
And if you want stabilization, you can already use this lens with a Sony or a Pentax body.
Sergey - Not everyone shoots streets so for most people who think about it with a cool head will realize that this is a kick ass zoom at a superb price.
My friend shoots streets with a 5D MK II and a 16-35mm f2.8 and takes some amazing shots so it depends on what a photographer is comfortable with.
"Sergey, this lens coupled with a speed-booster won't offer any low light or narrow DOF advantages compared to its current behavior on APS sensors. Whatever will be gained by the "faster" aperture will be offset by the noisier and smaller 43 sensor."
Prognathous, current m43 sensors are certainly smaller but not noisier at the same ISO compared to Canon and Samsung APS-C and Sony DSLT. Even compared to Nikons with Toshiba sensors, the difference is much smaller than the image circle size suggest. So the advantage will hold.
Low DoF (at this FLs at least) is DISADVANTAGE.
On the subject of street, I think you can get some shots because people do think it is telephoto.
They don't realise they are in your frame and assume you're shooting a subject up the street.
No IS No Sale for me.
buy pentax
It is a freaking 18-35mm lens, if you can't hold it steady at 35mm's your either shooting during an earth quake or you are worlds worst photographer.
I hear this often, can you please explain why you would need image stabilization on a lens like this?
Because you might want to take a photo at 1/2 second and unless you have a tripod with you, that won't happen--with any lens. Doesn't matter if it's 5mm.
Everyone wants super high ISO but no one wants better quality from a longer shutter speed at a much lower ISO.
To those criticizing dcperspective, if you want f/1.8 primarily for shooting in poor light, rather than the shallow depth of field, IS would be helpful as it may allow you to keep ISO at a reasonable level.
Thanks quiquae. I've been shooting for 30 years and the simple fact is you want tools that give you the most flexibility to get the shot, and IS is one of those tools. The distinction of IS not needed on wides has no weight to me- IS is valuable on every lens and combined with a High ISO performer it makes your tools very flexible. Shooting video is another benefit of IS. I'd pick Canons 17-55 IS 2.8 over this on my apc bodies every time.
Being a good photographer would make it more flexible than IS. 30 years and nothing learned? That is a pitty. I can shoot at 1/25th handheld without iso, are you asking for a 2 second long exposure handheld? Because laws of physics say no to you.
Leaving out IS (or OS, as Sigma likes to call their variant), gives them the perfect release to sell this lens again to the target group a year or two later, now upgraded with OS. Makes perfect money making sense to me :)
With Pentax, worrying about having and paying for IS is a thing of the past. This lens is obviously best used on a Pentax K-5 IIs or K-3. Anything else is wasting the lens' potential.
It *is* stabilized if you're using a Sony/Minolta or Pentax body.
Ok first off, this lens isn't available for Pentax and if the past is any reference it isn't going to be made available on Pentax.
I have nothing but admiration for Pentax but the fact is sales aren't too hot and so most Sigma lenses don't get a Pentax version.
Secondly IS is a useful tool and to all those who claim they can handhold 1/25 or 1/15 its all good but with IS you can go down to 1/2 also if you are careful. Not everyone wants to use high ISO especially if you lack a tripod.
So IS is a useful tool and those who say it isn't are belittling those who find it a useful tool.
"It is a freaking 18-35mm lens, if you can't hold it steady at 35mm's your either shooting during an earth quake or you are worlds worst photographer."
You and 10 other people are so sure of yourself, but the thing is, 1/fl rule does not apply - it is APS-C, so the rule becomes 1/(1.5*FL), i.e. you need 1/53s on Nikon, 1/56s on Canon, but then the rule was only good for 1000 lines per picture height, and even D3200 has 4000 lines now - so if you don't raise shutter speed 4x further, all the way to 1/210s, you are turning your 24 mpix camera into 1.5 mpix camera. Can you have 1/210s without raising ISO pretty high in low light - of course not, even on f/1.8. And then f/1.8 might be (and often will be) to shallow for you composition - then what, keep it at f/1.8 blurring important things in the scene?
And then there is video - handheld video is useless without IS (although in-lens IS - without rotational stabilization - is still pretty bad).
You can switch for Sony SLT or Pentax, and you can get IBIS
You dont NEED IS!!!! <----wtf is this about
The people that complain about others wanting IS in their lenses is simply nonsensical. Any tool that helps get.the.shot is a boon to photographers.
Naturally some people have steadier hands then others- are you goign to tell those people that they are SOL and they should take up another hobby/profession? Cmon.
Try to remember that your particular views are not gospel for others.
I'd say 95% would have guessed on a body .. - Cool (and good) choice!
Not that it changes much of the text, but kudos to Pentax for being consistent with APS-C as their only path.
I think in future this lens will be viewed as a must have for C size sensors. I agree with the comparison primes...but it surpasses primes because a 18mm f1.8 does not exist.
"[I]t becomes all the more impressive if you were to actually try to go out and find that set of primes that fast for APS-C cameras, because nobody has bothered to make them for you."
This is why I left APS land for Micro 4/3. I got sick of companies not supporting their own crop systems because they're not premium enough--PanOly are "all in" and the lens selection shows it.
Not everyone can afford/justify getting full frame.
Ironically there is one brand that has gone all in with APS-C optimised lenses, and that is Pentax. Sure they currently don't have that many lenses that are considered fast, apart from the FA-Limiteds at F1.8, but they do have small high quality primes in the DA Limiteds. Even the cheap "plastic fantastic" 35mm and 50mm have very impressive quality to their optics.
But you are right with regard to CaNikon though. their primes on the whole are rather large with the exception to their 35mm and 50mm F1.8 lenses.
Even so, this Sigma, is still a big lens, but it would appear, an excellent lens.
At the end of the day, it all comes down to what you want and what size you will are willing to go with.
Me? It would be a choice between this sigma or the new Pentax 20-40 Limited. Fast Lens but large lens Vs Small light slower lens that has weather sealing. Both are considered superb in the optics department. But at least I have the option.
M43, for you seems the best choice and that is fine.
"Ironically there is one brand that has gone all in with APS-C optimised lenses, and that is Pentax."
What about Fuji? Their X-series (APS-C) is fairly new but they've already released a lot of outstanding and fast primes. The new 23 1.4 seems to be fantastic.
The context is for SLRs but your point is made. The X-series lenses have made me want to stray, as have the Pentax Limiteds. The 20mm f/1.7 keeps me in though. (Yes, really.)
I've come to think that having a company supporting just one format is probably best for the people using that format. Canikony have their R&D resources split like mad among their lines. Any progress is slow and inconsistent.
It's not how big a stick you have, but how hard you swing it.
(-The Online Photographer)
No good zoom lenses yet for m43, i am leaving m43 also because there seems to be no good business plan ahead, they are to disorganised
"no good zoom lenses yet for m443". I really don't know what you are missing in terms of zoom lenses in the m43 right now. There is pretty much everything from 7 to 300mm (14-600 mm equivalent) with some high quality f/2.8 zooms going from 12 to 150mm. The only thing missing is probably some fast tele zoom that should be coming in the near future.
There's no shipping 150mm ƒ/2.8 M43 that I am aware of.
Panasonic has a 35-100 and Olympus has announced a 40-150mm, but they are saying it will ship next year.
I'm really impressed with it (Nikon mount), but it does have AF accuracy and consistency issues. Even at f/2.8. This is definitely a lens that requires very careful use, and frequent use of manual focus (blessedly, the manual focus ring is tight and precise).
I have my fingers crossed that Sigma figure out a firmware fix, or at least improvement, but... I think anyone buying this lens has to go in fully aware they're very likely to have (PD-) AF issues. And I say that as someone very happy with this lens, overall.
Makes me kinda wish I owned a crop sensor Nikon.
I own a DX Nikon and I'm sure it's a fantastic lens. Unfortunately it's way too bulky for a 'walkaround standard zoom'.
I have seen an English gentleman in India shooting with a 1Ds body and a 28-300mm L lens all day long so this is a toy compared to that combo. To each their own.
I use 2 camera bodies side by side when I go on vacation and this lens is hardly what I would call heavy.

VALDOSTA, Ga. – Valdosta State improved to 8-1-1 on the season and dropped Anderson to 4-4-2 with a second half scoring flurry that led to a 4-2 victory for the Blazers. Everybody got in on the fun with four different Blazers scoring in the match.
Blakely McClellan was the first to score for VSU. Arielle Sabina set McClellan up with a free kick into the box for McClellan to finish to tie the match. Before the first half ended, VSU's Emily Cooper added another for Valdosta State, unassisted, to take a short-lived lead.
Then, in the second half, VSU broke through for two unanswered goals from Erin Hill and Hannah Mulkey.
One aspect of the VSU squad that makes the team tough to mark is how many different Blazers can put the ball in the net. Tuesday night, Valdosta State proved it, especially with a more aggressive approach in the second half.
Valdosta State and Anderson played a pretty even first half, going to the break tied, 2-2. The Blazers held a slight edge in shots, 5-4, after 45 minutes of play.
Anderson's Krystal Goss scored the first goal in just the seventh minute of play. The Tritons were awarded a free kick that was deflected and Goss finished the rebound for the early lead.
The Blazers answered 13 minutes later when Sabina found McClellan for her second goal of the season. Sabina put it into the box, and McClellan found it in a scrum to put it away and tie the match, 1-1.
Cooper was next to score for VSU to give the Blazers a lead, at least for a bit. On a free kick far outside the box, Cooper found the goal for a 2-1 lead at the beginning of the 33rd minute.
Anderson, not to be outdone, scored just one minute later. Adrienne Lough sent a free kick ahead to Chelsea Hamrick for the finish and a tied match before the break.
The second half, however, proved to be a different story for the Blazers. After just a 5-4 advantage in shots in the first half, Valdosta State claimed an 18-4 advantage in shots, placing 11 second half shots on goal.
The Blazers finished with 14 shots on goal and 23 shots overall, forcing the Anderson goalkeeper combination of Kaitlyn Neipp and Tatiana Guarin to make a combined 10 saves, two saves too short.
The ball seldom crossed midfield in the second half as Valdosta State put the pedal down and refused to let off. The Blazers will look to do the same in a conference match against Alabama-Huntsville at 7 p.m. Friday.

Not Great for Lots of Gear
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
The Demon Duffle is simply one large sack with shoulder straps. It would be so much easier to carry my gear in a pack with some divided areas. Also, the straps weren't padded enough to provide comfort on when we hiked an hour at a time.
And it holds my lunch too?
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Bought this for climbing summer 2013 and it did not disappoint.
This was a recommendation from a friend and knowing that Black Diamond produces some of the best gear out there I had to jump at it.
It holds on a regular basis: 20 quick draws, 70m rope, harness, shoes, daisy chain, 5 or 6 locking carabiners.
Sometimes I can squeeze an extra pair of shoes and another harness, or my lunch !!
Conclusion: If you want to organize your craghopping, this is your baby. (the pic can hold all of this gear - with many more than the draws pictured!)
This thing's a black hole
Good crag bag!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I love how simple this bag is, perfect for throwing all your crag gear in for a day out! You can fit a water bottle, snacks, rope, harness, shoes, and draws with no problem! (Just be sure to take your snack bars out of the pack while climbing, squirrels tore through this pack to get a cliff bar) There is a small pocket on the inside of this pack for keys.
I think this bag would be great for travel too. You can always carry duffel style, great feature for this pack! The price of this pack is very nice too, I think the durablity of the pack is great. Once the pack has a good amount of weight, like trad gear.. the pack starts to get a little un-comfortable on your shoulders.
Nearly Perfect
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
A great bag for jamming all of your gear into, and getting it to the crag. The storage volume is enormous, and since there is only one storage area, none of it is limited or sectioned off for certain items, which means anything can fit into it. I can fit my rope harness, shoes, draws, water bottle, and snacks in this sucker with room to spare. Opening the bag the length of the outer shell makes it super easy to get at anything in the pack, and you can lay it flat and not worry about it tipping over and spilling everything out.
I agree with other reviewers about the addition of external pockets or gear loops. The added pocket options on the outside would make it easier to organize your small valuables in the bag. I loose my wallet and keys in this thing all the time, but I know they are in there so not a huge issue.
I would buy this bag over and over, It does not disappoint.
Perfect rope bag.
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
This is just what I wanted when looking for a rope bag. It has everything I wanted: a ton of storage, integrated (not to mention removable) tarp, backpack straps, waist belt, looks great, super durable.
After returning the Metolius Speedster for lack of volume, I picked this pack/duffel up. Huge improvement. A bit more expensive, but worth it. It's huge inside, the full length zipper is convenient, material is burly, the backpack straps are really comfy (although not terribly padded), and the waistbelt is substantial and actually useful.
I pretty easily fit my 60m 10.2 rope, 10 draws, chalk bag, two 30m accessory cords, harness with biners and other crap, some webbing, helmet, and shoes. There was still room for some other small odds and ends, although nothing big would fit in. I could also clip my helmet and/or shoes to the duffel handles on the outside to free up some space. The pack carries extremely well, the shoulder straps are comfortable, the back framesheet is nice to have for support, and the waistbelt is actually nice and quite useful.
The only things I feel this bag lacks is a small accessory pocket on the OUTSIDE of the bag. There's a decent sized one inside, but a bit awkward to get at if the bag is full. Would also be nice to have a daisy chain or gear loops on the outside to clip helmet, shoes, etc. to. Not enough to deduct a star, but just a bit to be desired.
I love this bag so much!
Here's a picture of the tarp that folds out
Great Gear Bag
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Awesome bag. Fits my 70M rope, two pairs of shoes, two harnesses, bunch of slings with room to spare. Heavy duty material holds up well (for two seasons so far anyway). Definitely recommended.
I love this bag.
Fits a ton of gear. Seems to stand up to the elements well. Comes with a decent sized tarp for your rope that folds out of the bag. I love that it is both a duffel and a backpack because its easy to find what you need instead of having to dig through a deep backpack.
Best Rope Bag Ever
I really appreciated previous reviews and glad that I purchased this rope bag. It works great for 9.8mm x 70m rope with extra gear (harness, helmet, shoes, water bottle, food, clothes) for individuals that I am guiding. I have only used it a couple of times, but the quality and durability seem bomber.
A bargain
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
A good and cheap cragging daypack. Fits 70m 9.8mm lead rope stacked in a tarp, 2 sets of cams .4" to 4", set of nuts and nut tool, harness, climbing shoes, various draws, slings and binners, insulated vest or jacket, headlamp and guidebook. I hang my helmet on duffel handles and let my climbing partner to carry my water, snacks and sunscreen.
After a season of intensive use there are initial sings of wear. Think it should last for at least three seasons.
demon duffle
Great Crag bag! I can fit my 60m rope, 2 harnesses and 2 sets of shoes, 20' of static rope, 30 m of webbing, various slings, an assortment of carabiners, belay devices, etc.
Has a rope tart that is a good size. Comfortable straps.
pocket for wallet and keys.
Great crag pack to carry all of your gear.
Bag for the centuries!
I dont think I have ever had such a versatile bag. From weeklong business trips to carrying climbing gear to the crag, this is what I reach for. It has a semi stiff bottom that lets the bag "flop" open for easy access, and it carries well as a back pack because of that.
Everything about the bag screams quality from the highly reinforced handles, solidly sewn fabric and well made floor. I use this bag and know that it will be with me for a while to come.
Perfect size for a weekend getaway!
This pack is the perfect size for a weekend getaway. Very comfortable to haul through an airport or jump on a train with.
Almost Great
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
So close, BD. There is more than enough room for everything you could possibly need for cragging. Even with gear hanging out of the thing, it is more comfortable than I expected in spite of the unpadded waist belt and uninspiring frame sheet. The removable rope tarp is water resistant and is comfortably large enough to flake your rope on. Nice.
Most importantly it is tough. It has been through well over a year of scraping through rock, trees, thorns, and being chucked off 4th class sections. Against all odds, it is still in one piece. The zipper still functions and all appendages are still attached. There are really only a few pinholes in it to speak of.
The only problem is the internal pocket. It is blindingly frustrating. Stick in your wallet in the morning to find out at the end of the day they have migrated all the way to the bottom of the pack forcing you to peel the thing apart at your car and dump the contents. The internal pocket is so convenient it now only houses things I don't ever need (first aid).
One little external zippered pocket and this pack will earn that fifth star.
Update: I hate this bag. It will not die. 3 years of abuse and everything functions perfectly. Its like that annoying cousin who just will not leave you alone.
If you want a ridiculously tough no frills pack to throw all your climbing stuff in, this is it. If you like shiny new things, look elsewhere.
Solid Crag Bag
This bag holds everything you need for a solid day on the rocks. I have my 60 mm 10.2 rope, harness, shoes, 12 quick draws, extra carabiners and slings, and usually some lunch and a 32oz water bottle. The integrated rope tarp packs up tight or can be removed when you don't need it. Also the pack is really comfortable, even on long approaches
This thing is big. Holds my 70m rope, shoes, harness, chalk bag, 12 draws, and food. Rope tarp is a cool feature and the big side pocket on the interior is perfect for stashing things like car keys and my cellphone while I'm climbing. Bag lays flat both when put on the ground and in your crashpad on bouldering excursions. All around great bag.
Good for hauling gear to the crag, less good for longish approaches
This is a good pack for its intended use -- hauling your rope & rack to the crags or air travel with your climbing gear.
It holds my 60m 10.2mm rope, full trad rack, shoes & harness. If I carry my rope in a separate rope bag, it holds a full rack, 2 pairs of shoes, 2 harnesses & 2 helmets, plus a little room to spare for lunch, etc.
I like the full length zipper so it's easy to reach anything packed in the back. It has a full length inner pocket for guide book, wallet, windbreaker, hat/gloves, etc. The pack cloth material seems pretty durable. The framesheet prevents your climbing gear from poking you in the back.
The rope tarp is big enough to comfortably flake your rope and keep it clean -- not like some 3 ft by 3 ft tarps I've seen.
I also like how the shoulder straps and hipbelt pack away (for checked luggage, etc.)
I probably wouldn't take this pack on any approach that is steep or is more than a mile or two. It doesn't have any compression straps and the load doesn't necessarily carry close to your back, so on steep terrain it will shift your center of gravity more than a technical climbing pack.
Also, the hipbelt isn't padded and there's no chest strap, so long carries with heavy loads would be less than ideal. Finally, no outer pockets, or water bottle pockets, although you probably could hook up some internal hydration bladder, etc.
If you run out of room in this pack, it's not that easy to tie things to the top, etc.
Again, a great bag for hauling all your stuff to your next climbing project. Get something different if you're doing technical stuff with a pack or have long approaches.

Does anyone know the dimensions of this...
Does anyone know the dimensions of this bag? could you use it as a carry on?
Bag is 24"x10.5"x12" at its widest parts when full. American Airlines states max carry on as 22"x9"x14".
As for your second question, the bag is flexible, and as long as it wasn't completely filled with rigid items, I don't think you would have any trouble at all fitting it into an overhead bin. It wouldn't be any fun under the seat in front of you though.
Do you think that this bag will be able...
Do you think that this bag will be able to fit a 70m rope and still have room for draws and other little stuff?
Something you may want to consider though is that a good rope bag can cost far less than this pack and will still have room for some extra draws and even shoes and a harness. If you're bring a bit more stuff or even looking to travel some distance, this bag isn't going to be as comfortable as other options, sizing considerations aside. I hope this helps!
Mine is currently holding a 10.2mmx60m rope, 14 cams, a set of nuts, 20+ quickdraws, anchor materials, the included rope tarp, one pair of shoes, a helmet and a harness without overstuffing.
It is the perfect size.

When fall comes around, we're excited for one thing in particular (among many): leather. We're ready to whip out our leather coat, lace up our leather boots, and wear our tiny leather biker hats (kidding … kind of). And one great thing about leather? It usually improves with age. It gets less stiff, more comfortable, and way cooler looking as the years go on. So, we found 7 awesome leather items that should be on your eBay watch list this fall.

FORT STEWART, Ga. -- December 8, 2012
Fort Stewart is continuing to welcome troops home for the holidays after a nine-month deployment to Afghanistan.
About 300 soldiers from the Georgia Army post's 1st Battalion, 64th Armor Regiment were scheduled to arrive Saturday to a homecoming celebration with their families. Fort Stewart officials say members of the regiment who were wounded while deployed will also greet their returning colleagues.
This is the third flight of soldiers from the unit to return to Fort Stewart this month. The troops deployed in March. A big reason they're coming home for the holidays is because deployment tours were shortened to nine months instead of a full year.

ADMISSION ANd RETENTION REQUIREMENTS
Students entering the School of Social Work as freshmen are required to meet the admissions standards of the University set forth in the section titled "Admissions" in this catalog. The University accepts transferred credit from accredited associate of arts programs (see "Admissions" in this catalog). The School of Social Work also accepts those hours but requires that all students meet the course requirements for the bachelor of social work degree. An evaluation of each transferred course is made by the University's Academic Records office or the registrar of the School of Social Work. Any transfer credit of a social work course must be approved by the program chair. No academic credit, course waivers, or credit for field practicum shall be granted for life experience or for previous work experience.
Transfer credit from four-year institutions is accepted as long as the specified requirements for the BSW degree are met. Credit for 400-level social work courses can be granted only for such courses taken in a CSWE-accredited social work program. Social work courses below the 400 level taken in programs without CSWE accreditation are evaluated for transfer credit on a course-by-course basis. Because of the number of social work courses required of junior- and senior-level students, it is difficult for a transfer student to enter the School of Social Work after the first semester of the junior year and complete the program within an additional two-year period, unless the general education requirements have been completed during the first two years of study. Most transfer students attend at least one summer session.
University of Alabama students who have completed 45 semester hours or more of academic work and who wish to transfer from any other UA division to the School of Social Work must have grade point averages of 2.0 or higher for all college work.
Admission to the professional program. The priority deadline for application to enter the upper division (professional program) in social work is February 15 of each year for admission in the following fall semester. Application forms are available on our Web site and from the School's registrar.
Each applicant for the professional program should have completed BSC 108 or BSC 109, PY 101, and SOC 101 (or their equivalents). A student who has completed at least two of those courses may apply if he or she is enrolled in the other course at the time of application. An applicant must have qualified for UA Core Curriculum–level math courses either by placement score or by having earned a "C" or higher in MATH 100. To be considered for admission, the student must have completed at least 45 hours toward the degree with an overall grade point average of at least 2.25 and a social work grade point average of least 2.5.
Spaces for students in the upper division are limited. Two faculty readers will score each application. Depending on the number of applications and spaces available, some applicants who meet minimum admissions requirements may be placed on a waiting list. Students who are tentatively admitted during the spring semester must maintain overall grade point averages of at least 2.25 (and 2.5 in social work courses) through the spring semester or the tentative offer of admission will be withdrawn.
After the completion of approximately 54 hours toward the social work degree, with the required overall and social work grade point averages, students who have been admitted to the professional program begin taking the professional courses, which are the 400-level social work courses listed in the "Program Requirements" section that follows.
Performance and retention policies. To continue in the social work professional program, students must meet the following criteria:
- Students must earn minimum grades of "C" in all required social work courses, including two social work electives.
- Students must earn minimum grades of "C" in all other courses required in the major (e.g., BSC 108 or BSC 109; COM 123; PY 101; SOC 101; PY 358; PY 372 or SOC 205; BER 345, CJ 381, PY 211, or ST 260).
- Students must earn a minimum grade of "C" on the designated writing assessment in SW 440 (Social Work with Individual and Families) in the fall of their first year in the professional program. Students who have not earned a "C" on the writing assessment by the end of SW 440 will placed on probation and will be required to enroll in SW 310 Professional Writing Seminar during the following spring semester. Students must pass SW 310 in order to continue in the professional Social Work Program.
Field Education
Field education, a 9-credit-hour course, is a four-day-per-week learning experience taken during the fall semester of the senior year. Students are given opportunities, under supervision, to develop social work skills. The School of Social Work uses agencies in a variety of settings for field education placements. Students must make arrangements for transportation in order to complete field education requirements. During this semester, students also attend classes at the School of Social Work one day per week.
To be eligible for their field placement, students must maintain overall grade point averages of 2.25 or higher and 2.5 or higher grade point averages in social work courses, and they must have passed a statistics class. Students on probation and/or holding grades of "I" in any social work courses may not be admitted to field education.

The 3-0 mark in league play is WKU's best since an identical start to the 2008-09 conference campaign. Thursday's game was the 2,500th in the history of WKU men's basketball, and the program now holds a 1,668-832 all-time record.
Fant was 9-for-12 from the field en route to the 24 points, and Kaspar buried a career-best five three-pointers in 37 minutes of action. Brandon Harris added 13 points, a game-high 10 rebounds and six assists in 40 minutes, and T.J. Price had 12 points and five assists. Stephon Drane added eight points and five rebounds in 28 minutes off the bench.
Harris has now played all but four minutes of the last four WKU contests. FIU was paced by 20 points by Malik Smith and 14 and eight rebounds by Tymell Murphy.
WKU shot 54.3 percent from the field as a team in the game (25-for-46) and had 15 assists on the 25 baskets. WKU buried a season high nine three-pointers in the game and went 17-for-21 from the free throw line (.810). FIU shot 46.0 percent in the game (23-for-50), and WKU outrebounded the Panthers 29-26.
WKU is now 9-2 on the season and 17-3 under head coach Ray Harper when outrebounded its opponent in a game.
WKU sprinted out to a 11-point advantage in the first seven minutes of the game thanks to a 15-2 scoring run, but FIU climbed back thanks to separate scoring runs of 9-0 and 6-0 to tie the game at 33 entering the halftime intermission.
Smith led all scorers with 14 first-half points thanks in part to four three-pointers, and Fant led WKU with 13 points. The Hilltoppers shot 53.8 percent (14-for-26) as a team in the first 20 minutes, and FIU converted at a 48.1 percent clip (13-for-27). The teams combined to bury 10 three-pointers in the first half.
The teams went back and forth to start the second half with neither leading by more than two possessions for the first 11 minutes of the half, until WKU went on a 10-2 scoring run with back-to-back triples by Kaspar and Price and four Fant free throws to open a 65-54 advantage.
FIU got as close as seven down the stretch, but the Hilltoppers had six of the final seven points of the game to cruise to the 13-point win.
WKU has now won nine of the last 10 games against FIU and leads the all-time series 29-5.
WKU seniors Kawaun Jakes and Marcus Vasquez joined the Hilltopper team and saw action on Thursday night, less than 24 hours after playing in WKU's Little Caesars Pizza Bowl game against Central Michigan in Detroit, Mich. Both were four-year letterwinners on the gridiron for the Hilltoppers.
The Hilltoppers honored legendary WKU figure John Oldham in a pregame ceremony in which the court at E.A. Diddle Arena was christened "John Oldham Court." Oldham was a Hilltopper player, head men's basketball coach and athletic director during his time on the Hill.
WKU next hosts North Texas on Saturday night at 7:00. The game will be televised nationally on ESPN3 and ESPN Full Court, regionally on WKYU-PBS and in Louisville on WBNA. It is Boy Scout Night on Saturday, and all Boy Scouts can receive a free ticket to the game.
Saturday's game also features a special presentation as part of WKU's "50 Seasons of Diddle Arena" celebration. Former Hilltopper Bobby Rascoe will have his jersey retired at halftime of the game.
Tickets for the 2012-13 WKU basketball season are on sale now and can be purchased online at WKUSports.com or by calling the WKU Ticket Office at 1-800-5-BIG RED or 745-5222 locally.

Did I just read an article about METRO STATE and still not know where it is? I think our "talented" writing staff at the Intell/NR did the same thing with Winona State. My guess is most uninformed basketball fans would think it's in NYC, LA, or Chicago, not Denver.

Born: 03/26/1934
Birth Place: Brooklyn, New York, USA
Born March 26, 1934 in Brooklyn, NY, Arkin was raised by his father, David, and his mother, Beatrice, both of whom were teachers. When he was 11, his family moved across country to Los Angeles, where his father was promised a job as a set painter by his uncle, a successful film composer. But as soon as the Arkins arrived, the studios went on strike for a year and a half. To fill the void, Arkin's father began teaching in the L.A. school system, but soon found himself out of work again, thanks to the Red Scare of the 1950s. Both of Arkin's parents were communist, but refused to acknowledge their political affiliations, resulting in both losing their jobs. From then on, the family struggled ... Continue Bio >>

Mr. Taylor was born June 25, 1976, in Taft to Mabel and Charles Taylor Jr. He was a 1994 graduate of the Beeville Independent School District, where he participated in track. He received an associate's degree as an electrical engineer for computers from Education America in Dallas. He worked many years at Sam Kane Meat Processing in Corpus Christi and various other jobs, ending his working career at Wal-Mart in Beeville.
He accepted Christ at an early age at the Bethlehem Missionary Baptist Church and was baptized by the late Rev. J.D. White. He was a youth usher and sang in the youth choir, holding the office of president before moving to Dallas. After returning to Beeville, he helped Bethlehem in the usher department and wherever needed.

Just upgraded succesfull to 8.0.5.
I want to enable the new cronjob for sa-update as in changelogs:
zmlocalconfig -e antispam_enable_rule_updates=TRUE
zmlocalconfig -e antispam_enable_restarts=TRUE
zmlocalconfig -l
but the LC keys don't change. Also zmconfigdctl restart but nothing.
Need a complete zimbra restart? Thanks.
Solution: in my case need a complete zimbra restart (i need to wait for office close for a complete restart)
