The Sigma 18-35mm f1.8 is a lens my partner Dan uses to film our YouTube videos with on the Sony A7sII and A7sIII. During this photoshoot, I decided to try it out for portrait photography alongside the Sigma 50-100mm f1.8 lens. I love the colour rendition and quality of our raw YouTube video footage, and am excited to see what these lenses look like for photography!

Both the Sigma 18-35mm f1.8 and Sigma 50-100mm f1.8 are crop frame lenses. Dan uses them adapted with a Metabones 4 to his Sony cameras. However, I hired the Canon 7D mk2 crop frame camera body to use them for this portrait photoshoot. I find that using native mount lenses helps with autofocus performance and accuracy. For video it's not a problem since Dan manual focuses. But for photography, part of a lens review is seeing how well a lens can autofocus.

Watch the behind the scenes video below to see my camera settings and how we took these images. I also share my review on how these 2 Sigma zoom lenses perform for portrait photography.

Below are my favourite photos I took on this day! I included before and after examples so you can see what the image looks like straight out of the camera.
