Pretty good for the price
If you don't know what you're talking about, don't review products, especially if you claim to have a high level of tech knowledge. Earwigy's criticism that the "depth of field is pretty bad" is a ludicrous statement. Without picking hairs, all f/1.4 lenses will have the same depth of field.
Pros:
- Relatively inexpensive, extremely fast prime
- Autofocus is internal, pretty fast, and quiet
- A little soft wide open, but sharpens up quickly as you stop down
- Nice bokeh
Cons:
- A little soft wide open
- If you upgrade to full frame, the lens is usless

The 30mm f/1.4 DC HSM Art is another solid entry in Sigma's prestige lens line-not the finest glass the company has to offer, but a marked improvement over the older (if cheaper) 30mm f/1.4.

Sigma 30mm F1.4 DC HSM "Art"
The Sigma 30mm F1.4 DC HSM "Art" is a fast prime lens designed exclusively for APS-C DSLRs; it's of particular interest to us because its "normal" field of view corresponds roughly to that of a 50mm lens on a film camera.
Pros:
- Fast F1.4 maximum aperture
- Convenient focal length on APS-C
- Beautiful bokeh
- Excellent center sharpness
- Compact and easy to hold
- Minimal vignetting at F2 and above
- Resistant to flare and ghosting
- 4-year warranty (USA
- Very affordable
Cons:
- More distortion that we'd like to see in a premium prime
- Purple fringing near edges/corners
- Low contrast wide-open
- Somewhat heavy given its size
- Average corner sharpness
- Not weather-sealed
- Sluggish autofocus

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

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

price of this lense is pretty awesome already, and i got an open-box for even cheaper $. very happy with it. large aperture makes need for flash is not always necessary. perfect for pix of kid around the house. a bit on the heavy end, but that is just an indication of quality lenses.
Pros:
- solid feel
- good price
Cons:
- none so far
