Sigma 30mm F1.4 DC DN Contemporary Lens: A Compact Lens for Sony E-mount Cameras

Capture stunning portraits, detailed still-life scenes, and sweeping landscapes with the Sigma 30mm F1.4 DC DN Contemporary Lens. This lens opens up a world of possibilities for mirrorless camera enthusiasts, offering the delightful experience of shooting at a wide-open f/1.4 aperture. Compatible with a range of APS-C-format mirrorless cameras—including Canon EF-M, Fujifilm X, Leica L, Micro Four Thirds, Nikon Z, and Sony E-mount—this lens allows photographers to explore the artistic potential of a large aperture. Enjoy the beautifully soft bokeh and the crisp clarity expected from a premium prime lens.

The Sigma 30mm lens is ideally suited for everyday shooting, with a focal length approximating human sight at around 50mm when adjusted for various systems. At f/1.4, it offers a perspective of 60mm on Micro Four Thirds, 48mm on Canon EF-M, and 45mm on other compatible systems. Utilize the shallow depth of field for vivid portraits or dial it back to increase depth for capturing engaging landscapes and casual snapshots. This lens is a testament to decades of photographic excellence, bringing together all the essential aspects of shooting with modern technology and design, characteristic of Sigma's Contemporary line.

More details:

• TSC used for a more compact structure and enhanced performance - Since the new material TSC (Thermally Stable Composite) is highly elastic, it exhibits minimal deformation. Parts made of TSC are therefore less prone to develop gaps between each other over time. The Sigma 30mm f1 4 features a lens barrel and aperture parts made of TSC, which contribute both to the compactness of the lens and the smooth functioning of the aperture system.
• Mount with Dust and Splash Resistant Structure - The mount features a special sealing* to make the Sigma 30 mm lens an excellent choice in a wide variety of conditions. *L-Mount, X Mount, and Nikon Z Mount only.
• Designed to minimize flare and ghosting - SIGMA’s Super Multi-Layer Coating reduces flare and ghosting to help photographers produce sharp and high-contrast images even in backlit conditions. The included lens hood can be attached to block out extraneous light, which can have a negative effect on rendering performance.
• Shallow depth of field for a beautiful bokeh effect - The large-diameter lens with F1.4 brightness makes possible a shallow depth of field for a beautiful bokeh effect—unavailable until now in a standard lens for mirrorless cameras.
• High-precision, rugged brass bayonet mount - The brass mount combines high precision with rugged construction. Its treated surfaces and enhanced strength contribute to the exceptional durability of the lens.
• Rounded diaphragm - The 9-blade rounded diaphragm creates an attractive blur in the out-of-focus areas of the image.
• Extra-long Hood (supplied) - The included lens hood is extra-long and features an antireflective coating to manage unwanted light. The hood also features rubber and anti-slip textures to make it easier for the photographer to hold while shooting.
