A 18-35mm zoom (for aps-c-sensors) with a constant aperture of f/1.8? Sounds unlikely, Sigma just did it!

This will be sweet on a Nikon D5200/D7200 (or Canon aps-c-camera, if you insist :))

en the MFT Speed Booster arrives, it will be awesome on the GH3 and pretty cool on the BMPCC aswell...

 

With the recent 35mm f/1.4 Art and 30mm f/1.4 DC Art Sigma showed great performance. Hope this 18-35mm f/1.8 lives up to it.

 

Price? No idea. Not cheap... but the excellent Sigma 35mm f/1.4 Art is relatively cheap compared to the competition. I think €1000 would be a pretty good price for this zoom. Could be a bit more...

This is the lens construction. I wonder if they achieved this with some kind of 'Speed Booster' alike lens elements. The last bit could be the focal reducer?

 

In comparison the Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8:

focal reducer or not, thats an amazing achievement.  id have been excited by a 18-35 f2.8, let alone one with a inbuilt focal reducer and designed for aps-c.  this on m4/3 + metabones speed booster may not cover sensor, but on the BMpocket and speed booster this is gonna be deadly if it doesnt mind the speed booster.
