So Far So Good

Review based on price and inspection of item, so far. I am waiting on the Panasonic LUMIX DHC G6, so functional review will follow. Lens is well made, and the $70.00 savings from Adorama, compared to the price of the new metal barrel version, is hard to beat. Expert reviews show that the performance of the lens is the same, plastic or metal.

Great value!

A great lens! Pretty compact. Focuses very quickly. I use it all the time for indoor photos sans flash.

No Complaints

For the money you'd be hard pressed to beat this lens. Focus is fairly fast and very quiet. I would not hesitate in buying this lens.

Tack sharp

This is a fantastic lens. Sharp wide open and very sharp from ~f7.1), good contrast, nice bokeh, and portable. I thought about a faster lens but decided on this for half the price. I was not disappointed at all. On u4/3, this aperture (f2.8) can still give some blurring of background and subject separation. I use the lens on Olympus E-PL2, and did not encounter any trouble, such as lens error like another reviewer mentioned.

I would not buy this product again

"Please check the status of a lens" This was the message I was greeted with when I mounted the lens on to both my OMD and E-P3.

About Sigma 30mm f/2.8 EX DN for Micro Four Thirds Lens Mount Systems

This high-performance standard lens is designed exclusively for mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras and has the equivalent angle of view as a 60mm lens (35mm equivalent focal length) on the Micro Four Thirds systems and 45mm (35mm equivalent focal length) on the E-mount system.

Two glass mold aspherical lenses, including a double-sided aspherical lens, provide excellent correction for all types of aberration. The inner focusing system corrects the fluctuation of aberration to maintain image quality regardless of the focal distance.

Sigma's Super Multi-Layer Coating reduces flare and ghosting as well as provides sharp and high contrast images even at the maximum aperture. The superior telecentric optical design improves the image quality throughout the frame. The optical design also allows the lens to be compact and lightweight. This lens benefits from a newly developed linear AF motor which moves the lens elements directly without the need for gears or the drive of other mechanical parts. This system ensures accurate and quiet autofocusing, making the lens suitable for video recording as well as still photos.

The lens features a rounded 7 blade diaphragm creating an attractive blur to the out of focus areas of the image. This Sigma 30mm F2.8 EX DN has a minimum focusing distance of 30cm/11.8in and a maximum magnification ratio of 1:8.1.
