I've had this lens for about two weeks. Not a lot of time to develope an opinion but just some initial observations. It's going to be best as a portrait lens, the focus is sharp and accurate when the subject is close (say 2-12 feet).

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.

The world of camera lenses can be separated into two main groups: zooms and primes. Prime lenses are those which...

Good challenging lens
To have an aperture so wide is nice. I have not really had the time to fully evaluate the lens. It hunts when focusing on the A6300, but maybe I should use another AF setting. Will have to experiment now. God lens, but it needs some work to learn and use it at its best.

Absolutely
This was my first lens for my a6300 almost 6 months ago. I was torn between this and sonys 35mm 1.8, but the crisp results from this lens were worth the distortion! Focusing can be slow, and the fly by wire isn't for me, but it's a good focal length that you can get a wide variety of shots with.
Pros:
- Amazing depth
- Consistent Output
- Durable
- Lightweight
- Sharp photos
Cons:
- Slow Focus

Must buy Prime for A6500
Disregard any reviews talking trash about this lens. Any issues with AF are certainly user error. If you use C-AF Wide w/Continuous Shooting, you get amazingly fast and accurate PDAF from f/1.4-f/8. Beyond f/8 youre stuck with Contrast Detect AF, which is fine but I try to generally stay below f/8.

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
