The Sigma 30mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary Lens is a fast and adaptable prime lens specifically engineered for APS-C-format Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras. Its bright f/1.4 maximum aperture is advantageous for low-light photography and provides significant control over depth of field, enabling the use of selective focus techniques. The lens's optical construction includes two aspherical elements and one high-refractive index element, which effectively minimizes spherical aberrations and distortion, resulting in enhanced clarity and sharpness in image quality. Furthermore, a Super Multi-Layer Coating has been applied to mitigate lens flare and ghosting in challenging lighting situations. This compact prime lens is also equipped with a stepping autofocus motor, ensuring smooth and nearly silent autofocus performance, making it suitable for both still photography and video recording. Additionally, a rubber seal at the lens mount offers protection against dust and other environmental factors.
- As part of the Contemporary line within Sigma's Global Vision series, this lens is designed to achieve a balance between convenience and performance, and meshes a compact, lightweight build and versatile handling with notable optical attributes.
- Normal-length prime is designed for APS-C-format Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras and provides a 45mm equivalent focal length.
- Bright f/1.4 maximum aperture excels in low-light conditions and also affords increased control over depth of field for achieving selective focus effects.
- 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.
- 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.
