I bought this lens with the intention of photography active toddlers and doing some night shots. It delivers that and more. Images are very pleasing and same with the bokeh. It's my favourite prime so far (tried Canon's 50mm f/1.4) and highly recommend it.

I wanted a crop sensor lens that was close to a 50 mm full sensor. I read a lot of reviews, then settled on this lens. I'm a newbie and and still working on my ideal stills but this lens rocks for video

Durable; Easily Interchangeable; Excellent Field Of View; Great for Video; Lightweight; Love The Sharpness

Slight Auto Focus Issues

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.

Have had this lens for about a week now and it produces some amazing images on my Canon 60D.

Image and build quality

This is a great lens, it exceeded my expectations. Lightroom has automatic corrections for this lens which helps with any vignetting and color distortions at its largest apertures.

Excellent lens with super clarity and ease of use. Autofocus is brilliant. Received superb compliments from my friends and relatives on the pics from this lens. Now i realise ive wasted waytoomuch time with my kit lens.

Originally published October 2005. WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW: The first high-speed "normal" lens for digital SLRs with APS-sized sensors, this 30mm f/1.4 is Sigma's first nontele lens to incorporate elements of SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass.

This is a ‘standard' lens for a cropped digital SLR. 25 years ago, all SLR's came with a ‘standard' lens and everybody learned how to use one. Those lenses, at 50mm, are still about but don't have the versatility that they had on a 35mm film camera.

Sigma 30mmf/1.4 EX DC HSM is currently the only non fish-eye fixed focal lens in Sigma's arsenal that was designed from grounds up for APS-C type cameras. The lens has a reduced imaging circle and while it can in theory be mounted on a full-frame of APS-H type cameras, the lens will vignette...

A fast aperture lens always garners attention and the Sigma 30mm f/1.4 EX DC HSM Lens is no exception. Photographers wasted little time in making this lens one of their favorites.
