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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

Sigma has always marched to its own drummer. Its unique Foveon Sensor, which consists of three sensors stacked one over the other that separately catch Red, Green and Blue for unusually fine image quality, has a small but very loyal following. Now, for the first time, Sigma has applied the same F...
A Great walk-around long normal prime
By Lee P.
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.
By Jacob J.
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,...

Why settle for less when you can experience the joy of shooting with the Sigma 30mm F1.4 DC DN Contemporary Lens for Sony E This large-aperture standard lens from Sigma's Contemporary line offers the opportunity to capture stunning images with F1.4 brightness. The lens is designed to provide photographers with the fun of shooting wide open, creating beautiful bokeh effects and delivering exceptionally sharp optical performance.
This lens is a prime example of Sigma's innovative technology and design insights, offering a perfect balance of varied elements. With a focal length similar to human vision, it allows photographers to take stunning portraits, tabletop still life shots, landscapes, and snapshots, making it a versatile tool for any photography enthusiast.
The Sigma 30mm F1.4 DC DN Contemporary Lens is designed for optimal performance on cameras with APS-C image sensors and a short flange back distance. It's a member of Sigma's high-performance Contemporary line, featuring the latest technologies for optimal balance with light, compact camera bodies.
This lens is not just compact and comfortable to use, but it also prioritizes outstanding image quality. It digitally corrects optical distortion and features high-refractive index, high-dispersion glass for extra power and a shorter overall lens length. Two aspherical lens elements ensure outstanding image quality and overall compactness.
The lens also features Sigma's inner focus technologies, providing outstanding stability whether you're shooting handheld or with the camera placed on a surface. The lens structure includes materials and parts that contribute to its compact, lightweight design, making it a convenient choice for photographers on the go.
The Sigma 30mm F1.4 DC DN Contemporary Lens also features a Thermally Stable Composite (TSC) structure, which offers thermal expansion characteristics similar to those of aluminum. This ensures the lens performs better under extreme conditions and helps maintain the performance of the lens over time.
This lens offers image quality that rivals that of Sigma's Art line lenses. It 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. This effectively leverages these technologies to deliver an outstanding level of light to the edges of the image while minimizing transverse chromatic aberration.
The lens is designed to minimize flare and ghosting, and it incorporates a stepping motor for exceptionally quick and quiet autofocusing performance, making it an excellent choice for videography. The 9-blade rounded diaphragm creates an attractive blur in the out-of-focus areas of the image, and the large-diameter lens with F1.4 brightness makes possible a shallow depth of field for a beautiful bokeh effect.
With the Sigma 30mm F1.4 DC DN Contemporary Lens for Sony E, you can enjoy high-quality, professional photography at its finest.
