FEATURED REVIEWS
A Great walk-around long normal prime
I wanted this lens for the speed and I am not disappointed. I have found it very usable at wide open and it gives me a nice separation and bokeh. This is my second Sigma lens and I look forward to their future offerings. I feel it is the perfect size for my Panasonic G9. It is not a macro lens but offers enough magnification for my flower photography.
Even better than expected.
I was looking for a prime lens for use in low light situations, and after some research I settled on this lens. Although it has an unpopular focal length, I find it to be more "natural" and less "distorting" than the typical normal Micro Four Thirds focal length, 25mm. I tested it's light gathering at its widest aperture and, to my surprise, it is even capable of seeing my shadow cast solely by a Half Moon, albeit barely and at ISO 12,800. Although I bought it for it's low light performance,...

A New Large-Aperture F1.4 Standard Lens From The Contemporary Line.
Offering An Opportunity To Experience The Fun Of Shooting Wide open, With F1.4 brightness.
SIGMA 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.
A Member Of The High-Performance Contemporary Line, Featuring SIGMA’s Latest Technologies.
For 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.
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.
TSC Used For A More Compact Structure & Enhanced Performance.
Since 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.
Image Quality Rivaling That Of Our Art Line Lenses.
A Compact, Lightweight Lens Offering Outstanding Image Quality With F1.4 Brightness.
In 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.
Designed To Minimize Flare & Ghosting.
From 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.
Shallow Depth Of Field For A Beautiful Bokeh Effect.
The 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.
Fast & Smooth AF.
Stepping motor incorporated for enhanced videography
By 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.
High-Precision, Rugged Brass Bayonet Mount.
The brass mount combines high precision with rugged construction. Its treated surfaces and enhanced strength contribute to the exceptional durability of the lens.
Rounded Diaphragm.
The 9-blade rounded diaphragm creates an attractive blur in the out-of-focus areas of the image.
New SIGMA GLOBAL VISION Product Lines Are Setting New Benchmarks For Image Quality.
Evaluation With SIGMA’s Own MTF Measuring System: A1.
We 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.
A cutting-edge addition to the Contemporary line, the Sigma 30mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary Lens for Leica L is a high-quality, professional-grade lens that offers photographers the chance to explore the thrill of shooting with a large-aperture F1.4 standard lens. This innovative lens is designed to deliver exceptional image quality, with sharp, detailed photos even in low-light conditions.
Designed for optimal performance with APS-C image sensors, this lens is not a full-frame lens but rather an APSC Lens or Super 35 with L mount. When used with a camera with a full-frame image sensor, vignetting may occur, but this can be easily adjusted in the camera's image area settings for optimal results.
The Sigma 30mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary Lens is compact and lightweight, making it a reliable and durable choice for both professional and amateur photographers. It features Sigma's latest technologies, including an inner focus system and a special design of the focus lens group that allows for fast and smooth autofocus performance, ideal for videography and more.
This lens also features a high-refractive index, high-dispersion front lens element for extra power and a shorter overall lens length. Two aspherical lens elements help ensure outstanding image quality and overall compactness. The lens also includes an extra-long, anti-reflective coated hood to manage unwanted light and improve shooting comfort.
The Sigma 30mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary Lens is constructed with Thermally Stable Composite (TSC) materials, which are highly elastic and exhibit minimal deformation over time. This contributes to the lens's compact structure and enhances performance by increasing the precision of cells holding lens elements and parts related to the focus lens group.
With its F1.4 brightness, this lens offers a shallow depth of field for a beautiful bokeh effect, making it an excellent choice for portrait and tabletop still life shots. It also allows for greater depth of field when the aperture is closed, making it suitable for landscape photography or snapshots.
In summary, the Sigma 30mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary Lens for Leica L is an unprecedented lens that combines outstanding optical performance with exceptional portability and usability, making it a valuable addition to any photographer's gear.
