Sigma 30mm f/2.8 DN Lens for Sony E-mount Cameras (Black)
Key Features
  • Sony E-mount (NEX) Lens
  • Standard Length Prime Lens
  • 45mm Equivalency in 35mm Format
  • Aperture Range: f/2.8-22
The black 30mm f/2.8 DN Lens for Sony E-mount Cameras from Sigma is standard length prime lens for Sony E-mount cameras. Its focal length is equivalent to a 45mm lens in the 35mm format and its minimum focus distance is 11.8" (30 cm). Its f/2.8 maximum aperture is ideal for shallow depth of field imaging and allows it to maintain sharpness in low light situations. An inner focusing system means the lens does not extend when focusing and its newly developed linear autofocus motor is accurate and quiet. Sigma's Super Multi-Layer Coating reduces flare and ghosting and provides sharp and high contrast images even at the maximum aperture, and with two glass molded aspherical elements including a double-sided aspherical element, aberrations are kept to a minimum. The result is accurate color definition and sharp imaging across the frame. A metal exterior provides durability and handsome design.

This fit Sony a6000?
Asked by: Luis Fernando
No, it won't fit Sony a6000 which requires a Sony E-mount lens. The lens in question has a Micro Four Thirds mount which, as far as I know, is only used by Olympus and Panasonic.

Would you recommend this lens for portrait?

Would you recommend this lens for portrait?
Asked by: Daniel
I would recommend the Olympus 45mm f/1.8 for the shallower depth of field and angle of view makes a more flattering look for head shots and compress the background better. While the Olympus is mostly plastic, it doesn't have a clunky sound to the lens elements and the focus ring has a better feel than the smooth surface of the sigma. You maybe able to pick up the Olympus for $250 on sale.

question

Does this lens have focus ring?
Asked by: Tim F.
Yes, the majority of the barrel is the focus ring. There are no witness marks or distance marks. There is no hard stop so it will continue turning as you reach infinity or minium focal distance.

question

I have this lens, is there any adapter/converter I can buy to make it wider? Or do I have to buy a 19mm to get the wide shots I want? Thanks
Asked by: Richie G.
Unfortunately not for this lens. The only option would be to go with a wider lens like the 19mm lens.
