Not as much zoom, or as fast as the 18-35 f/1.8, but still faster than anything else that has existed. I see some use for 5D owners, but if you have something like a C100 or FS100, then this doesn't offer anything over the 18-35mm.
 
There's a thread here about using the 18-35mm on FF sensors: it covers the sensor from 25/26mm onwards (with much less vignetting for 16:9 than for 3:2). It seems Sigma adjusted the design just a bit to make sure it covers 24mm too. Good idea.
 
Thanks for the link to the thread. I agree, really does seem like a re-worked 18-35.

Again seems like a good lens for a few full frame still shooters, but after the 16:9 crop, the 18-35 looks like a much better investment for us video people as you're not losing much for full frame and gaining some wide end for S35.
