Sigma 30 mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary Lens for Sony E-Mount - Black

If you're looking at this review, chances are, you already know what it is, what it's capable of, and what it looks like in terms of photography.It's extremely versatile, being 45mm Full Frame equivalent. Yes, sometimes I wish it was a bit wider, but only sometimes. It's perfect for landscapes, portraits, street, product, low light, star trails, you name it, it can do it. With f1.4 you can achieve good bokeh depending on how far your focus point is of course, and from f2.8 onwards the sharpness is just immaculate.My review may make you think that sharpness is poor when your aperture is wider than f2.8, but that's not the case, it's still very very good, and more than enough.I have included a few samples. Enjoy. Oh, and don't take it out in a sandy area with loads of wind. The lens mount doesn't have a gasket protecting it from dust or sand.

A lil but of purple fringing is there, but can be corrected using lightroom or photoshop. This lens is best for potraits. Personally I use it with an APSC sensor camera. So, 30mm magnifies to 45mm (approx) its a sweet spot for low light photos, potraits, street photography & much more. For Videos also it is best for the price it comes. I use Sony Alpya a6400 with this lens. The results are attached give them a look, also check out my profile on instagram @aryndash. If you are using it for videos I would suggest to go with the Picture Profile 7 & 8 of the Sony Alpha Cameras. After color grading it would give very nice results. Stabilization is not that good. But if you have a gimbal then it would just go best with it. Auto focus is also excellent.Overall for the price of 27000 it is a good investment. I got it for 27k with a cashback of 1250 to my pay balance. I don't know if the cashback is still available. But for 27k its good. Go for it without second thought. 📷

Very good lens. Specially build quality, quick focus,But I’m noticing that battery is draining fast of my ZV E10..And the weight is little on the heavier side..

Perfect for Sony Zve10

This lens is cheap compared to other manufactures and no compromise in image quality. I took some stunning images and best decision I made over sony's 50mm prime lens.

This lens is awesome. The most notable thing about this lens is it is small and solidly made with high quality materials . The provided rubber ring outside the lens is a bliss to use for focusing.Not much heavy and one can easily carry in a small camera carry bag. Though it has 1.4 aperture which means it is perfect for low light condition,but, not to get confuse that it can't be zoomed in or out because of its fixed focal length i.e. 30 mm,and it is ideal for portrait and real estate photography. So if you are a landscape photographer or wanting a lens for vlogging,this lens might not be a good choice for you because of its limition on wide angle side. Instead, you can choose the 16mm sigma over this.Overall,the bokeh effect from this lens is mind-blowing that will make you instantly fall in love.So, if budget is your prior concern,grab this or otherwise grab the 16 mm one. But both lens are perfect in their position.Cheers!

very good

Excellent lens. Was looking to replace the kit lens with my first prime and everywhere I looked either the Sony 35mm or sigma 30mm were recommended as the must have prime lens.. The sigma is newer and supposed to be sharper but the Sony has oss which can be useful for fast lenses... Was confused which one to get for a long time..ultimately the unavailability of the Sony 35mm either online or any of the Sony dealers made decision easy(is available with few sellers on Amazon including their global store but sell at ridiculous prices well above the 25k MRP on Sony site).. Am glad I did that though, getting stunning shots with this lens, and only now realising how far back the kit Lens was.. I haven't really noticed any fringing yet that is reported for this lens. Is super sharp and terrific for low light.. Is my goto lens now. Worth the price. Just make sure to buy from mhoney or smart digital the others are again ripping off with ridiculous prices.
