Sigma 30mm f/1.4 EX DC HSM Autofocus Lens for Sigma Digital SLR Camera
The Sigma 30mm f/1.4 EX DC HSM is a large aperture lens that provides a standard angle most similar to the human eye. The 30mm focal length translates to approximately 50mm in 35mm format(*).
A glass mold aspherical lens element at the rear group of the lens reduces color aberration and provides high-quality image results. From 15.7" (40 cm) minimum focusing distance to infinity, this lens creates very sharp images with high contrast, and can perform superbly in a great range of applications, including snapshots, portraiture, indoor shooting and landscape photography.
DC lenses are exclusively designed for digital SLR cameras. The image circle (rear of lens) is made to match the smaller dimensions used for the image sensor on digital cameras. As a result these lenses are also more compact and lightweight, and are better matched to digital SLR cameras.
(*) Note: Not suitable for 35mm film SLR cameras.
- EX lens series denotes excellence of engineering and new technology
- Correction for various types of aberration provided by two SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass element and a hybrid aspherical lenses
- Equipped with the silent, responsive and high speed Hyper Sonic Motor and provides fulltime manual focus override

This lens is incredibly fast! The depth of field is stunning and really brings the subject out. Although you can shoot many types of photos with this lens, I love shooting portraits. If you are unsure and want to see what this lens is capable of, just do a search on the internet. Look for "sigma 30mm f/1.4 sample photos". GREAT LENS!

Comments about 30mm f/1.4 EX DC HSM Autofocus Lens for Sigma Digital SLR Camera:
I was looking for fast all around lens to grab and run with. This lens is one I wanted to like. I love the look of it, it seems to be a well built, tuff, rugged, take what I give it type lens. It's what I was looking for except for one problem, it is not sharp enough for my taste. I want tack sharp images that I can go up or down with as I choose as far as sharpness. I shot several hundred images at least, under a number of conditions but could not get happy with the results. The price is great, the lens build is great. The images just don't work for me.
