Hood – The lens comes with a small short plastic hood but it seems to do the job or at the very least gives some extra protection to the rather small front element (by the way the lens has a 52mm filter thread although the front element itself is even smaller).

We would actually prefer a more traditional mechanism but we guess that it is simpler and less expensive to make and it seems to work fine. Both lenses use a fly-by-wire style mechanism which means that they have no hard lock when you turn them and you can basically turn them endlessly. However unlike the 19mm the ring here has more conventional rubber groves, unlike the smooth metallic feel of the 19mm.

Ring – Just like the Sigma 19mm, the 30mm f/1.4 has a single ring for focusing.

Size and weight – The lens is pretty compact with a length of under 9 cm or 3.5 inches and a laughable weight of about 285 grams or 10 oz.

Also – unlike the 19mm this lens makes no sound when you shake it. To be honest the only difference we see externally is in the general design of the focus ring.

Note that this is not an ART lens (like the 19mm) but belongs to the contemporary series.

Build quality – The build quality of the Sigma 30mm is pretty good.So after our raving review of the Sigma 19mm f/2.8 lens, the question here is the same – can this lens perform to the same high standard- especially given it’s somewhat more challenging basic design – let’s take a look. The large maximum aperture of F1.4 produces a versatile lens that performs superbly in a great range of applications including portraiture, indoor and studio work and landscape photography.We recently tested the Sigma 19mm f/2.8 E mount lens and today we are going to look at its longer and faster sister – the Sigma 30mm f/1.4 for E-mount.Īlthough this lens is not as small as the 19mm it is still pretty compact and offers a much faster aperture and a focal length which can be used for portraits (on APS-C we are looking at about 45mm equivalent focal length). The lens creates exceptionally sharp images of high contrast from its minimum focusing distance of 40cm to infinity. Minimum Focusing Distance and Fast Aperture

The HSM design provides quiet high-speed auto-focus with full-time manual focus override. A molded glass aspherical lens at the rear lens group reduces colour aberration and provides high-quality image results. Two SLD glass elements are especially effective in the compensation of magnification chromatic aberration. The shallow depth of field produces an outstanding image, sharply outlined from the blurred background.

It is fast aperture makes this lens desirable for use with Digital SLR cameras. This lens is perfectly suited for a wide range of subjects, portraits, indoor shootings etc. Large maximum aperture of F1.4 can perform superbly in a great range of applications, including snapshots, portraiture, indoor shooting and landscape photography. The HSM models provide quiet, high-speed auto-focus shooting, as well as full-time manual focus override. SLD (Special Low Dispersion and ELD (Extraordinary Low Dispersion) glass elements are used to obtain the best possible correction for magnification and chromatic aberrations, which are particular problems for digital cameras.įrom 40cm (15.7”) minimum focusing distance to infinity, this lens creates very sharp images with high contrast. This is a fast F1.4 aperture standard lens for digital cameras.
