The lens was tested by using a Canon EF to EOS M Mount Adapter on a Canon M50 camera.
There are no optical elements in the adapter, so it doesn`t alter the results.
All in-camera corrections were turned off during testing and the Canon M50 was set at the maximum resolution of 24 Megapixels.

What is your opinion about this lens?
It works great on a full-frame EOS R, which automatically compensates. My only negative is the lack of stabilization. This lens doesn't yield sharp enough images when hand held. The Canon 24-70mm has the same problem. I do have the Sigma 18-35, but my eventual purchase will be the Tamron 24-70mm 2.8 G2. It has stabilization and is tack sharp.

& tamron good?
Thank you for the video! I have a question here. I would really appreciate it if you could answer my question. The Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 DC HSM Art has two functions: autofocus or manual focus. I'm using a Blackmagic 4k, which is known as manual focus. If I set the Sigma lens with autofocus, will it support my camera focus objects and landscape more easily?

Hi! Unfortunately, I am not familiar the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema 4K. The best way to answer this question is to go to a camera shop and rent a Sigma 18-35mm Art Lens to see if it works. Don't buy it, just rent it/borrow it and try. Again, I am not familiar with this camera (haven't touched one). From my knowledge, it only supports MFT (micro four thirds) lenses - Panasonic or Olympus ones. The Sigma 18-35mm lens from this video is for Canon - so you need a Metabones adaptor. But.. doing some more Google searching I found this: "Watch out, though, I’ve been unable to get a Metabone’s adaptor to work with autofocus. Blackmagic told me that this is up to Metabones to get fixed, so I guess we’ll just have to keep an eye on that." - so it is big chance that autofocus will not work if you adapt this lens to your camera. The article where I found this phrase is "The Five Pros and Cons of Blackmagic’s New Pocket Cinema Camera" from the Fstoppers website - do a Google search and you will find it. This is everything I can add on this subject (not being familiar with the Blackmagic 4k camera) - hope it answers your question.
