There is a zoom lens for Crop sensor Cameras with constant F1.8 aperture with 18mm at the wide end.

Is that a single focal length prime of 18 mm with an F/1.8 aperture? Who makes that may I ask? I find that there are a real shortage of primes for APS-C sensors.

The Sigma 18-35mm f1.8 (crop only) zoom. Based on tests it's excellent, basically a replacement for primes in that range. But it's also pretty big.

Tell us more, photonious...
