Sigma 30mm f/1.4 DC HSM A Review
Despite the naming similarity, there is a world of difference between Sigma's 35mm f/1.4 and its 30mm f/1.4 (reviewed here). Whereas the former is a full-frame lens, the latter is APS-C only; whereas the former has a petal-shape lens hood, the latter's is cylindrical; whereas the former offers...

Sigma 30mm f/1.4 EX DC HSM review by makcv113
I bought this recently because I wanted a 50mm equivalent for my Canon 40D. It was either this or the Samyang 35mm 1.4 for video, but since I was a photography guy first, I just the Sigma with its AF. Bokeh is okay. There is distortion. I also have the Canon 50mm 1.8 that I used to use more often.
Pros:
- Fast aperture
- semi fast focusing for my needs
- sharp
Cons:
- Soft wide open
- smallest aperture is f16

Sigma 30mm f/1.4 EX DC HSM
*UPDATE* My latest music video was shot with the Canon 50mm 1.8 and Sigma 30mm 1.4. The 30mm was primarily used for most shots except when it was focused closer to the artist's face (50mm used there). Recorded with a Canon 60D at ISO 3200 at 1.4 most of the time, this lens saved the night for sure!
Pros:
- Fast aperture
- semi fast focusing for my needs
- sharp
Cons:
- Soft wide open
- smallest aperture is f16
