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.

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.

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?
