Pros:
- Durable
- Easily Interchangeable
- Excellent Field Of View
- Great for Video
- Lightweight
- Love The Sharpness
Cons:
- Slight Auto Focus Issues

Purchase use. Very good from F/2.2. Front focus 1.4-2.0. After 2.2 have litle back focus. From f4 focus is perfect. Work very well in life view with Canon 60D. Mutch better than Canon 50/1.8.Very happy.

Raises the value of your crop sensor
Last year I made the switch to full frame and parked Sigma's 50mm F1.4 Art lens on my 5Diii. I thought full frame was the most amazing thing, and I could never go back. Then I started doing a little bit of video work, so I dusted off my SL1 to use as camera 2.

This is a great lens, it exceeded my expectations
This is a great lens, it exceeded my expectations. Lightroom has automatic corrections for this lens which helps with any vignetting and color distortions at its largest apertures.

Amazing lens
Excellent lens with super clarity and ease of use. Autofocus is brilliant. Received superb compliments from my friends and relatives on the pics from this lens. Now i realise ive wasted waytoomuch time with my kit lens.

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...
Pros:
- F/1.4 maximum aperture
- Excellent MTF results
- Full-time MF option
- Near-silent AF
- Metal mounting flange
Cons:
- Significant barrel distortion
- Some colour fringing
- No image stabilisation

This is a great lens, lets get that out there. Someone mentioned that it is a photographer's lens, and I agree wholeheartedly. This lens is PERFECT for indoor shooting, people shots, and as a general walk around lens.
Pros:
- Sharpness where it counts, light weight (this is relative), focusing accuracy on my copy, and great bokeh
- If you get a good copy you will love it
Cons:
- None worth complaining about
- it vignettes (correctable and typical for this type of lens)
- has some CAs (shoot RAW if you care about it)
- and people complain about corner sharpness
- but if you are trying to get corner sharpness at f/1.4 your probably just shooting brick walls and test charts
