    30mm · f/1.4

    Overview

    The Sigma 30mm F1.4 EX DC HSM is a fast APS-C prime offering a normal field of view, praised for its compact size, solid build, and quiet HSM autofocus. Optically, it is somewhat soft wide open but sharpens by f/2.8, with good bokeh and contrast, though chromatic aberration is present. Weaknesses include stiff manual focus and occasional AF hunting in low light. It suits APS-C users seeking an affordable, fast normal lens for general photography.
