Sigma 30mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary Lens (Micro Four Thirds)
Key Features
  • Micro Four Thirds | f/1.4 to f/16
  • 60mm (Full-Frame Equivalent)
  • Rounded 9-Blade Diaphragm
  • Stepping Motor AF System
A fast, versatile prime, this 30mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary Lens from Sigma is designed for use with Micro Four Thirds mirrorless cameras. The bright f/1.4 maximum aperture benefits working in low-light conditions and also affords extensive control over depth of field for using selective focus techniques. The optical design features a pair of aspherical elements, along with one high-refractive index element, which significantly reduces spherical aberrations and distortion for increased clarity and definition for notably sharp image quality. Also, a Super Multi-Layer Coating has been applied to control lens flare and ghosting in strong lighting conditions. Additionally, benefitting both stills shooting and video recording, this compact prime also incorporates a stepping AF motor for smooth, near-silent autofocus performance. A rubber sealing at the lens mount helps protect against dust and other elements entering the lens or camera.

Awesome aftermarket lens!

I recently purchased the SIGMA 30mm 1.4 DC lens for the Canon M6 (EF-M). The feel and build are a step above the Canon 15-45 f 3.5-6.3 kit lens. Taking into account the APS-C sensor, the effective focal length is around 48mm. Concentrating on manual operation and trying to use the lens at it's fastest setting (f/1.4), focus is amazingly selective and sharp, side-to-side. The lens comes with a bayonet-mount lens hood and the focus ring is wrapped with a very comfortable and wide rubber focus ring grip. This lens is significantly larger than the 15-45mm kit lens and I think it'll become my defacto "travel lens". Great buy and excellent price-point. I'd grab obe before this lens series becomes extinct.

Asked by: Manisha
No, it will not. The Sigma 30mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary Lens for Micro Four Thirds, B&H # SI3014DCDNM, is designed for use on cameras that use the Micro Four Thirds lens mount. If you are looking for a Sigma 30mm lens for the Canon EF lens mount, the Sigma 30mm f/1.4 DC HSM Art Lens for Canon, B&H # SI3014DCHSMC, would work for your usage needs, while the Sigma 35mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art Lens for Canon EF, B&H # SI3514C, would be a slightly less wide option that would also work for your usage needs.

does this lens good for cinema 4k video like samyang cine and meike cine?
Asked by: shine
The lens is sharp and can be used for video and 4k. There are better cine lenses. Most cine lenses are manual and the better ones have de-clicked aperture. So, you can change it smoothly. It really depends on how you will be showing the video, camera model and what you are shooting.

question

What is the T-Stop value?
Asked by: Ollie L.
This isnt a specification that Sigma offers for their lenses, at least that I have seen. That being said, looking at third party testing, the max transmission for the lens in terms of TStop would be 3.1.

question

Is there a lens firmware version higher than 1.1 for the Micro Four Thirds mount? Sigma released a statement that older lenses don't correct the distortion when shooting JPEG; Newer versions should have a yellow sticker on the box. I want to be sure I have the latest version (Mine says 1.1)
Asked by: Anonymous
There is at least one newer firmware update than 1.1 we were able to find via Sigma's website (v. 1.2). Please contact Sigma for more information on their current or previous updates and if you need any additional technical support.
