A fast, versatile prime, this 30mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary Lens from Sigma is designed for use with APS-C-format Sony E-mount 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.

Sigma 30mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary Reviews
Fast and accurate

I needed a couple of lenses to cover most of professional situations with a Sony FX30. So I chose Sigma 10-18mm and Sigma 30mm after checking tons of reviews. I wanted to save some money on not having Sony lenses and knowing that I needed faster lens as well than Sony offer. No regrets! Sigma 30mm f/1.4. Fast and accurate lens with perfect auto focus performance. Yes I'm a Sigma fan from now on.
Wonderful standard lens

Santa was kind enough to bring me this lens. Since then, I have taken it out multiple times in a variety of light situations. Each time I was pleased with the result. It is perfect for scenery and family photos when trying to get more of the view. It is crisp, light weight, and worth the money.

What size lens cap is needed for the front of this lens? (Sigma 30, 1.4) I lost mine and I’m not sure what size to get. Thank you!
As a rule, you'll want a lens cap that is the same size as a filter for the lens, in this case, 52mm.

Is there a manual focus switch? If not how do you focus manually?
The Sigma 30mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary Lens (Sony E) does not have a manual focus switch. You need to set the camera in the menu to manual focus and then you can manual focus with it.

Is it a glass constructed lens or a "plastic"? Or both, may be?
Thank you.
Construction includes plastic.
Build quality between the Sigma and the Sony is fairly similar. They both use a machined metal chassis with plastic internals. Compared to older Sigma DN lenses, the 30mm F1.4 doesn't let its focus elements rattle about when unmounted, which is a very welcome change. The focus ring is also an improvement, and a step above the Sony. The rubber grip turns smoothly and easily with minimal effort, making the Sony feel a bit stiff. The only downfall in terms of build is the Sigma's lens hood, which doesn't seem to confidently click in to place, and is made of rather fragile feeling plastic.
