Top Rated Gear: Used Sigma 30mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary Lens for Micro Four Thirds Cameras E MFR: 302963.

A new large-aperture F1.4 standard lens from the Contemporary lineOffering an opportunity to experience the fun of shooting wide open, with F1.4 brightnessSIGMA 30mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary large-aperture standard lens gives owners of mirrorless cameras the opportunity to experience the fun of shooting wide open, with F1.4 brightness. Photographers will enjoy the beautiful bokeh effect that only a large-aperture lens can offer and the exceptionally sharp optical performance expected from a fine prime lens. Leveraging SIGMA's latest technologies and design insights, this new lens fulfills the concept of the Contemporary line, in which varied elements come together in optimal balance.A prime lens with a focal length of around 50mm and F1.4 brightness offers an angle of view very similar to human vision. The photographer can use the shallow depth of field at wide-open aperture to take stunning portraits and tabletop still life shots. Or he or she can close the aperture for greater depth of field and shoot landscapes or snapshots. In this way, standard lenses allow photographers to enjoy so many of the fundamental methods of photography and have thus been favorites for decades. Photographers can experience F1.4 brightness and standard lens functionality with a 35mm equivalent focal length of 60mm on the Micro Four Thirds system and 45mm on the Sony E-mount system.About the lens nameSIGMA lenses with "DC" in the name are designed for optimal performance on cameras with APS-C image sensors. When a DC lens is used with a camera with a full-frame image sensor, vignetting will occur. Photographers are advised to adjust image area settings for optimal image results. SIGMA lenses with "DN" in the name are designed for optimal performance on cameras with a short flange back distance.A member of the high-performance Contemporary line, featuring SIGMA's latest technologiesFor optimal balance with light, compact camera bodies with a short flange back distance, SIGMA designed the new SIGMA 30mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary lens to be extremely compact. Moreover, the special design of the focus lens group allows fast and smooth AF performance for videography and more. This lens combines a compact design and comfortable operation while prioritizing outstanding image quality. Featuring SIGMA's latest technologies, this lens digitally corrects optical distortion.Extra-long Hood (Supplied)The included lens hood is extra-long and features an antireflective coating to manage unwanted light. The hood also features rubber and anti-slip textures to make it easier for the photographer to hold while shooting.Combining compactness with outstanding optical performanceThe front lens element features high-refractive index, high-dispersion glass for extra power and a shorter overall lens length. To optimize the lens for mirrorless cameras, two aspherical lens elements help ensure outstanding image quality and overall compactness. The SIGMA 30mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary features SIGMA's inner focus technologies, while lighter lens elements in the focus lens group make possible a more compact actuator. Moreover, this lens offers outstanding stability whether the photographer is shooting handheld or has the camera placed on a surface. Structurally, the lens features materials and parts that contribute to its compact, lightweight structure. In summary, this is an unprecedented lens that combines outstanding optical performance with exceptional portability and usability.TSC used for a more compact structure and enhanced performanceSince new material Thermally Stable Composite (TSC) is highly elastic, it exhibits minimal deformation. Parts made of TSC are therefore less prone to develop gaps between each other over time. The SIGMA 30mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary features a lens barrel and aperture parts made of TSC, which contribute both to the compactness of the lens and the smooth functioning of the aperture system. TSC helps increase the precision of cells holding lens elements and parts related to the focus lens group, further enhancing lens performance.Thermally Stable Composite (TSC) offers thermal expansion characteristics similar to those of aluminum. Since parts made with TSC expand and contract less due to changes in temperature, they tend to perform better under extreme conditions and help maintain the performance of the lens. TSC also offers outstanding elasticity. As compared to polycarbonate containing 20% glass, TSC offers approximately 70% higher elasticity. As compared to polycarbonate containing 30% glass, it offers 25% higher elasticity. (Comparison is between SIGMA-produced components.)Image quality rivaling that of our Art line lensesA compact, lightweight lens offering outstanding image quality with F1.4 brightnessIn addition to featuring an optimized layout and power distribution, this lens incorporates one aspherical lens element and one double aspherical lens element, as well as an element made of high-refractive index, high-dispersion glass with high anomalous partial dispersion. By effectively leveraging these technologies, the lens delivers an outstanding level of light to the edges of the image while minimizing transverse chromatic aberration. To correct distortion, the lens takes advantage of the image correction capabilities of the mirrorless camera body, using the corrective power of the optical system to enhance sharpness. The final result is an extremely compact lens that delivers image quality that rivals that of our Art line lenses.Note: Limited to what the camera supports.Designed to minimize flare and ghostingFrom an early stage in the lens design process, flare and ghosting have been measured to establish an optical design resistant to strong incident light sources such as backlighting. SIGMA's Super Multi-Layer Coating reduces flare and ghosting to help photographers produce sharp and high contrast images even in backlit conditions. The included lens hood can be attached to block out extraneous light, which can have a negative effect on rendering performance.Fast and smooth AFStepping motor incorporated for enhanced videographyBy incorporating a stepping motor, the lens offers exceptionally quick and quiet autofocusing performance. This feature is especially useful when using the camera to take videos. This lens is also compatible with Sony E-mount Fast Hybrid AF.Rounded diaphragmThe 9-blade rounded diaphragm creates an attractive blur in the out-of-focus areas of the image.Shallow depth of field for a beautiful bokeh effectThe large-diameter lens with F1.4 brightness makes possible a shallow depth of field for a beautiful bokeh effect-unavailable until now in a standard lens for mirrorless cameras.High-precision, rugged brass bayonet mountThe brass mount combines high precision with rugged construction. Its treated surfaces and enhanced strength contribute to the exceptional durability of the lens.New SIGMA GLOBAL VISION product lines are setting new benchmarks for image qualityEvaluation with SIGMA's own MTF measuring system: A1We used to measure lens performance with a Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) measuring system using conventional sensors. However, we have developed our own proprietary MTF measuring system (A1) using 46-megapixel Foveon direct image sensors. Even previously undetectable high-frequency details are now within the scope of our quality control inspections. All SIGMA 30mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary lenses are checked using this A1 system before they are shipped.46-megapixel Foveon direct image sensorThe 46 effective megapixel (4,800 x 3,200 x 3 layers) and 44 recording megapixel (4,704 x 3,136 x 3 layers) 23.5 x 15.7mm APS-C X3 direct image sensor captures all primary RGB colors at each and every pixel location, ensuring the capture of full and complete color. Using three silicon-embedded layers of photo detectors, stacked vertically to take advantage of silicon's ability to absorb red, green and blue light at different respective depths, it efficiently reproduces color more accurately, and offers sharper resolution, pixel for pixel, than any conventional image sensor. Since color moire is not generated, the use of a low-pass filter is not required, meaning light and color, generated by the 46-megapixel APS-C X3 direct image sensor is captured with a three-dimensional feel.

Used Sigma 30mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary Lens for Micro Four Thirds Cameras E

bought for Milky Way and astro wide field images.  But had bad coma on one side of the frame indicating its out of center or alignment.  after 30 days couldn't return it, and Sigma said it was 'in spec.'  well their quality standard is pretty low.

In spec but had bad coma, no good for astro wide field imaging.

Loving it

Excellent image quality and well made lens for a great price!

One of the best

The lens is great and produces sharp images with super fast AF. 30mm is a bit tight for certain styles of shooting and wish it was a bit more compact but its great for food photography and street photography. I pair it with my a6600 and the combo works wonderfully.

A well rounded prime lens

Good lens. Not spectacular but I love the focal length. Very please with Adorama's service.

Good lens. Excellent supplier

One of the Sigma primes that delivers crisp images with soft bokeh.

Sigma 30mm Prime Lens

Great little lens that I use with my Sony a6600.  Nice bokeh on a documentary interview.

Crisp lens with soft bokeh.

A very sharp lens, the only problem I?ve had with it is the auto focus is much more finicky for me? it will bounce around between in and out of focus while I?m holding as steady as I possibly can.

Very sharp, auto focus is the biggest issue for me.

Like it

This is still one of my favorite lenses for my Sony a6 series aps-c bodies. The fast f/1.4 aperture makes it great in almost any lighting conditions. Sigma has been a long time third-party favorite of mine, because of their amazingly sharp lenses and equally as amazing prices. You can?t lose, shooting with Sigma glass and this lens is not an exception to that.

Amazing glass

Good Cinema Lens

This lens was a absolute game changer for my Canon m50 , 10/10 highly recommend

Amazing

Amazingly crisp and a great addition to my concert lenses.

30mm

Great lens! Tested out this and the sony 35mm oss, the decision was easy to go with the Sigma.

Awesome lens!

You're paying the same price as just getting the lens but also getting a few extra products with it. Not a complete bargain, but a pretty good deal.

Pretty good bundle.

Wonderful lens, the reviews are accurate. The shallow depth of field has some difficulty working with autofocus for relatively flat subjects, but otherwise this is a perfect lens.

Reviews are accurate, this is great.

Fast, sharp and great pricing. Af on sony e mount is pretty quick. I always say Sony lens are a little quicker then 3rd party for AF.

Best lens for the price

Just what I wanted. Quality construction.  Wished that it were a little smaller and lighter, after all it is for micro 4/3 format.

lens for everyday street photography

Perfect lens to pair with my Sony A6600. Super sharp images!

Super sharp lens!

Love,Love this lens. Pairs perfectly to my A6600 and produces some of the nicest images I have seen.

Absolutely love this lens.

Exactly as expected, sharp, fast, compact.

Great lens

This lens is quick to focus and the pictures are tack sharp. This is a good over all ab=n travel lens. Low light is not a problem for this lens

Sharp

I bought this lens for my a6600. Great all around lens, sharp as a tack! I would definitely recommend for any Sony a6000 series.

Sharp as a tack!

Tack sharp, well built, great focal length for APS-C

This is an excellent prime lens. It's very sharp and has great contrast and color. Pictures "pop" with it. The focal length is a great all-around choice, especially for pictures of people. f/1.4 makes it excellent in low light and to create shallow depth of field with smooth bokeh. And the price is great at almost $200 less than the similar Canon EF-M 32mm lens.

My favorite lens for people and pets

Sharp, good bokeh, smooth transition motor

Good lens

So crisp and clean this glass is amazing!

Love this lense!

I bought this lens with the intention of leaving it on my camera most of the time for pictures of my family, and it has not disappointed. The photos are beautiful: sharp, lots of contrast, good colors, smooth bokeh. Autofocus is at least as fast as my Canon lenses. And the 30mm focal length on crop is a perfect all-around focal length for people.

Favorite lens for Canon M50

Was nervous because I only have ever shot with canon lenses, but this might be my favorite lens in the bag! Takes beautiful natural light portraits, and has been so fun with creative work.

Fun lens!

This lens is perfect for portraits (with a bit of background) and street photography. Awesome depth of field and super lightweight.
