Bokeh Comparison – Glass & Fitting

For the following images we shot a small water cooling fitting on top of a glass at a variety of distances and apertures to show any difference in bokeh between the two lenses. Images with “S” at the beginning were shot with the Sigma 18-35mm while images with “N” at the beginning were shot with the Nikon 35mm.

It’s important to notice that F16 at a focusing distance of 12 inches has a different depth of field than F16 at a focusing distance of 24 inches!

SUMMARY
The Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 is incredibly sharp at all apertures and overall is a rock star performer. It beats out all stereotypes that "1st party" lenses are the king of performance and quality. Its only downsides are its large size and price; but for being the first of its kind, we can't complain too much.
