Sigma 18 – 35 f/1.8 on the Panasonic Lumix G7

With f/1.8, it lives up to its expectations! The additional stop makes it a f/1.2 (or f/2.4 in full frame, 35mm terms). In the pictures below, I'm using it with a Viltrox Speedbooster on a … [Read more...] about Sigma 18 – 35 f/1.8 on the Panasonic Lumix G7
