GL Sigma 18-35 Focus Throw

[Roddy Hyduk]

Hi guys,

I'm looking at the GL Sigma Cinemod for the 18-35 and I'm having a hard time deciding between the 120 and 300 degree throw. I like to focus off the barrel of the lens so anything excessive is pretty hard to do so (like CP2's with 114mm fronts and 300 degree throws). It seems that most of the focal throw with this Sigma GL mod has been expanded in the range under 3 feet or so... does anyone know how big of a difference the throw is from 3ft to infinity between the 2 versions?

Thank you!

Check this one out if you like to hand focus off the barrel.

300 degrees is excessive for hand pulls

I have a GL 18-35 (120° throw) in Grand Rapids if you want to check one out in person.

i have the 18-35 120 degree. Perfect amount of rotation. Seriously. Just enough but not super slow. And on a wide lens it doesn't really matter.
