Why we recommend this

The constant F1.8 maximum aperture across its 18-35mm zoom range delivers exceptional low-light performance and shallow depth of field control uncommon in zoom lenses. Its robust, all-metal construction and HSM autofocus provide a tactile, precise shooting experience that feels purpose-built for reliability. This lens is best for portrait and event photographers using APS-C DSLRs who need a fast, versatile zoom to replace multiple primes.
