- Excellent Field Of View
- Great for Video
- Lightweight

Cons:
- Slight Auto Focus Issues

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 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

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.

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.

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.
