Sigma 30mm f/1.4 DC HSM Lens for Canon DSLR Cameras

Overview

The 30mm f/1.4 DC HSM Art Lens for Canon from Sigma is a prime lens designed for Canon APS-C format cameras. Its 35mm focal length equivalent is 45mm which places it in the category of standard focal length lenses. With its particularly fast maximum aperture of f/1.4, the lens will perform very well in low light situations and provides shallow depth of field focus. With updated optical configurations (9 elements in 8 groups), as well as rounded aperture blades, the lens delivers sharp detail and nice background bokeh. Its minimum focus distance is 30 cm.

The lens’ optimised light distribution helps to minimise field curvature preventing a loss of image quality at the edges of photographs and its double-sided aspherical lens element minimises spherical distortion. A rear focusing system combined with a newly developed autofocus algorithm and Hyper Sonic Motor provide smooth and accurate autofocus. Fulltime manual focus is also supported. As part of Sigma's "Art" line of lenses it is compatible with Sigma's USB Dock, which enables firmware updates and focusing adjustments.
