Tack sharp wide open with fast accurate auto focus.
I have used this lens for portraits, landscapes and an 8 image panorama and it has produced the goods for me every time. Tack sharp with lovely fall off in the portraits and great detail in the landscapes and panorama. I can't fault it.
Pros:
- Durable
- Fast
- accurate,quiet auto focus
- Great Features
- Great Picture Quality

Big problem
If you change lenses frequently (as I do) and happen to put this one back in your bag without first attaching the rear lens cap, the rear glass is very easy to scratch as the glass protrudes beyond the lens mount when lens is set to infinity.
Pros:
- Captures nice images
Cons:
- Fatal design flaw

Construction good, optics less so
There was enough chromatic aberration on this lens to stop me bothering to use it.

Sigma AF 30mm f/1.4 EX DC HSM (Nikon DX) - Review / Test Report
It seems the primary design priority for the Sigma AF 30mm f/1.4 EX DC was to achieve the highest possible center resolution without caring too much about the rest. The border performance of the lens is just so-so at f/1.4 and only good when stopped down.

Good fast lens.
Needed a lens for low lighting conditions. Can't get much faster than f/1.4 ! Sigma makes pretty good third party lenses . I had several with my old Minolta film cameras back in the day and they worked great. This is my first Sigma for a DSLR. Took it out for a test run yesterday.

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

Bra standardobjektiv för ljussvaga förhållanden
Ett bra objektiv om man vill fota mycket i dåliga ljusförhållanden och klarar sig med en brännvidd på 30 mm.
Pros:
- Mycket ljusstarkt (F1,4
- Ger bra kvalité i alla ljusförhållanden så man slipper dra upp ISO
- Kompakt och litet objektiv med gedigen konstruktion
- Personligen föredrar jag att fota med min Sigma 30 mm än tex Canon Ef 50 F/1,8
- inte bara för att det är ljusstarkare utan gör att jag finner att 30 mm är
Cons:
- Fast brännvidd
- något vissa kan tycka är jobbigt
- Svårt att autofokusera i svagt ljus
- man måste hitta en ljuspunkt att fokusera på
- Brus i höga ISO

Sigma 30mm F/1.4 EX DC HSM Macro Lens for Canon
Perfect lens if it focused properly out of the box. Lens has a little front focus on my Rebel t3i. Sent to Sigma for calibration with camera body still waiting for it to return. Otherwise good quality lens.
