Description:
You will find yourself with an absolutely fantastic lens. This lens is sharp wide open, and incredibly sharp between f/2.8 and f/10.

Auto-focus with this Sigma 30mm f/1.4 performs like a champ. It has a built-in Hyper Sonic Motor (HSM), so it can auto-focus with even entry level Canon DSLRs, and the auto-focus is fast, quiet and, accurate.

In addition to sharpness and auto-focus, the lens has great contrast and color rendition straight out of camera, and the bokeh is fantastic

The lenses to which the Sigma 30mm f/1.4 is more appropriately compared are the Nikon 35mm f/1.8 and the Canon 35mm f/2 lens. In both cases, the Sigma is faster and wider. This makes it better in low light situations and for shallow depth of field, and for capturing wider scenic shots. The Sigma 30mm f/1.4 produces better bokeh wide open than any of the Nikon or Canon lenses

For a prime lens, the Sigma 30mm f/1.4 is surprisingly versatile. In addition to dark scene and shallow depth of field shooting, it’s also good for landscapes. Since its focal length is that of normal human vision, it’s easy to photograph a lot of scenes that you see with this lens. For me, that means this lens works well for normal landscape shots when I don’t want to use a wide angle lens. I especially like it for this purpose at night, because at apertures of around f/16, it produces some dynamite starbursts.

Build quality on this lens is excellent. It’s built like a tank and feels substantial in your hands. Definitely better build quality than the Nikon and Canon counterparts. It also includes a nice carrying case. I’ve never used mine, but if you like carrying cases, I guess it’s a nice bonus…
