Has anyone used this lens on a Full Frame Camera? How did it perform and was there vignetting?

Yes for both questions. The site dpreview.com reviewed this lens (http://www.dpreview.com/lensreviews/sigma-18-35-1-8/4) and notice an almost unusable vigneting when mounted in a full frame camera. But, you can decide by yourself.

Hey. A friend tried mine on his 5d3. Heavy vignetting. Be carefull the shutter doesn't hit the rear element to. It's risky.

Be careful here, APS C lenses can damage full frame cameras, not a good idea. Full frame lens on crop sensor camera OK, not the other way around

I have not, but i would strongly expect a converer to smear detail on the corners. This lens, when focused properly, is very sharp in the corners. I use mine on a Fuji XE1 and now issues at all.

This lens works great at F8 or more. Hand-holding is possible if you have good technique.I have tried using TC's on this lens, but to be honest, you are better off not bothering. If you want a bit more reach, get closer to your subject and use an extension tube. For some sample images, check out the recent section of my website www.nicksaundersnature.com

Yes, it's a full-frame manual focus lens. It's quite sharp, even at full aperture. I use it on my A7.

Yes, the wide angle lens shows a mechanical vignetting at a lower aperature. Even my telephoto lens did that at a lower aperture. I don't like that and I alway try to not show that in my shots because I don't like the abrupt look of the vignetting looking completely black. I like the more natural vignetting. Either way, I am still fine with this product because it does an ok job for the price.

You will experience clipping with a full frame sensor. If it's used with full frame cameras, you'll have to crop each image to remove the vignetting that takes place.

I have one. For the price... it is a great lens. Make sure it is well mounted and set camera to high contrast and max sharp. Don't run it more than 12-1500mm. Hard to focus but does a great job "for the price." On a side note: the lens mount is high maintenance and will loosen after a few uses. Make sure your camera body is supported somehow. Take the lens off when not in use.

I am a Nikon user. So I can only give my experiences as a Nikon full frame user. maybe this can help https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fe1VkIzi6OI .

I don't think it's good for a full frame camera. I used to use it on my 60D but now on my 5D it is very vignetted. Interested to hear what sawing the removable hood would look like, not sure if it'd fix the problem though.

Yes it works well. Decent lens for size. Bit of telescoping on corners until you zoom it slightly

US model, and,I might add, an overall good lens for the price. Does vignette in extended lens (200 plus)

I have tried the lens a few time with video using my Nikon D7000. I have found I like the results the best when using it at a minimum aperture of f5.6. I paid about $60 with shipping for this lens and it has worked well for me.

I use it on a Nex6 & found no vignette on any of my lenses. Works best on longer focal lengths. 135 MM in APS-C is, for me, the sweet spot.

Yes and no.At 16mm, it will work on full frame Canons, with a slight vigniette on the extreme corners. At 11-15mm, however, the entire frame is not covered.I occassionally use this lens on my 5D mark 1 and get some amazing results! It's the only "crop" lens I kept after upgrading from my t2i =)

I've used it for a number of video shoots (Documentary, commercial, etc...) and it never fails, every single time I break this out the director/producer always says "Ehh...I don't know about shooting that wide" but without fail this lens always gets a giant grin when looking at the dailies. It's one of my favorite lenses because it's super wide without being overly distorted. That being said, I don't have any first hand experience using it with a steady cam rig but I honestly don't see it being an issue. The only downside of the lens (hasn't really affected me yet but could be an issue for someone) is that because the front element is so large, it's impossible to use screw on filters. This can be alleviated by using a matte box. Hope this helps! -John Melancon

i will tell you what I know. first of all, the A7R is a full frame. so the 16-70mm lens will show vignetting - especially at 16mm,less at 70mm. the a7r also has a cropped mode to allow images that do not use the full sensor. you should look for native full frame e mount lenses. they keep making them, they are designated EF.
