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.

Two aspherical elements and one high-refractive index element are used to limit distortion and spherical aberrations and also contribute to greater overall sharpness and accurate rendering.
A Super Multi-Layer Coating has been applied to lens elements in order to minimize lens flare and ghosting and contribute to producing contrast-rich and color-neutral imagery, even in backlit conditions.
A stepping AF motor benefits both photographers and videographers with its fast, precise, and near-silent performance.
Rounded nine-blade diaphragm contributes to a smooth and pleasing bokeh quality.

this lens will fit canon 7d ii
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?
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?
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.

why won't this lens work on Panasonic DMC-G5 camera?
Hi, that lens is compatible with the Panasonic G5; if it doesn't work, there's a problem with either the lens or the camera.

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)
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.
