Sigma 30mm f/1.4 DC HSM Art Overview

A sophisticated and compact prime, the Sigma 30mm f/1.4 DC HSM Art is a versatile normal-length lens for APS-C-format Canon EF-mount cameras. Featuring a bright f/1.4 maximum aperture, this lens excels in difficult lighting conditions and also affords increased control over depth of field for isolating subjects using selective focus. The optical design incorporates one aspherical element, which helps to reduce distortion and spherical aberrations in order to realize accurate subject rendering and high sharpness. A Super Multi-Layer Coating has also been applied to individual elements to suppress ghosting and flare for greater contrast when working in strong lighting conditions. Complementing the optical assets, this lens also features a Hyper Sonic Motor, along with a rear focusing system, that affords especially quick, quiet, and accurate autofocus performance, along with full-time manual focus override.

As part of the Art line within Sigma's Global Vision series, this lens is designed to achieve truly notable optical performance and is ideally suited for creative and artistic applications.
Normal-length prime is designed for APS-C-format Canon EF-mount cameras and provides a 48mm equivalent focal length.
Impressively bright f/1.4 maximum aperture is well-suited for working in low-light conditions and also provides greater control over the focus position when using shallow depth of field techniques.
One aspherical element is used to help limit distortion and spherical aberrations and also contributes 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.
Integrated HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor), along with a rear focus system, realizes quick and quiet autofocus, which is further complemented by an optimized AF algorithm to produce smoother focusing performance. The HSM also permits full-time manual focus control simply by rotating the focus ring at any time.
Rounded nine-blade diaphragm contributes to a smooth and pleasing bokeh quality.
Constructed using a Thermally Stable Composite (TSC) material for greater precision and use in wide temperature variations. Additionally, a brass bayonet affords improved mounting accuracy and rigidity.
This lens is compatible with the optional Sigma USB Dock for fine-tuning different lens characteristics and updating its firmware.

Sigma 30mm f/1.4 DC HSM Art Reviews

Better than the earlier version and better than most

By Jeffery
Rated 5 out of 5

I used the earlier version, and thought is was an above average lens for the Pentax. Only one of my Pentaxes is full-frame, so I don't shy away from the APS format lenses. This lens is one of my best Pentax mount lenses. So far the results have been extremely sharp and high in contrast. I read that Sigma was cutting back on lenses for Pentax mount, so I had to give this one a try and I'm glad I did.

Fantastic lens

This lens is great for all around photography on an APS-C camera. A circular polarizing filter goes a long way for this lens in bright environments.

This is a great lens!

This is a great lens at a fair price. I've only had it about a month but I'm glad I bought it. It's a great focal length and come on, it's a 1.4! I've been a long time fan of Sigma lenses. For me, Canon lenses have been hit or miss but my Sigmas never disappoint. Sure, I agree with reviews that say, 'hey stop it down for better sharpness' or there's some distortion at 1.4 or whatever. Still a total keeper of a lens.

Great for talking head videos and photos

Picked up this lens to do some talking head video for my youtube channel since this lens is very affordable. The bokeh is great where I get a lot of compliments when live streaming, people are more surprised when I tell them that the camera is a Canon T6i. Took the lens with me when I went to Sequoia National Park where it performed well. The lens also did great capturing Comet Neowise early in the morning. For a prime lens, this lens is very versatile as what it can do which makes it an amazing work horse.

Love this quality lens!

This lens is perfect for my D7100 in terms of a walking around lens. It's a low light wonder. This is my second Sigma Art lens and IMO, equal to, if not better than, the Nikkor lenses I have. Manufactured in Japan.

Clean and Sharp!

Very sharp, even at wide open. Great, unique mm perspective for sure! Highly recommend the 30mm lens.

Can this lens be used with the Canon 90D?

Can this lens be used with the Canon 90D?
Asked by: Maurice
Well, I purchase this item for my 70D and was intrigued by the aperture and good ratings only to find out that I could not make any sharp images with it. It comes with a calibration tool, but when I checked it was supposed to be correctly setup which means that it would have required me to actually work hard to do the calibration myself with trial and error. I don't think that makes sense at all: you buy a lens FOR Cannon and it actually does NOT work for Cannon right away (or at all). So, not for me and reading through many message posts, it's not a straight forward process even if you try, some people end up saying "it gives me sharp images in this and this situation", sorry, don't want to pay $499 for something I am left along to figure out how it works. (note: I've owned cameras and lenses for a long time, am a hobbyist that started way before digital, I just can't accept the usability of this lens)
