ashayafilms Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Hey everyone, I just got a brand new Sigma 18-35 1.8 Nikon mount and noticed that when I rotate the focus ring, I get 3 "stops" with audible clicks. It's not a smooth and quiet rotation of the focus. So naturally my question is does anybody else have it, and if that's the case, why nobody talked about this in their reviews? I feel this is not working well for run and gun situations when the audio mike is mounted on the camera. Very disappointing! I called Sigma tech support and they told me this was very much normal. It seems Sigma focus rings click... Do you have the same experience with yours? earnesync 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifty Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I have this lens (Nikon mount) and have no clicks when turning the focus ring. It's smooth and silent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stab Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I have this lens. It does click at the end of the focus range, on both sides. This is a 'sign' that it doesn't focus any further / closer after that point. It shouldn't however, click at any other point in the focus range.

jgharding Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Oh yeah i didn't realise what ya meant, yeah it bumps at the ends to show its the end, since the ring can turn indefinitely... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
