Sigma 30mm f1.4 EX DC HSM Digital Lens For Nikon Mount

Sigma 30mm f1.4 EX DC HSM Digital Lens For Nikon Mount

£325.00 Select this Item

Product Description

Outdoor Photography - November 2005
'There is certainly no doubting the biting sharpness and balanced contrast of this lens across the full aperture range.'

Product Description
This large aperture 30mm F1.4 EX DC HSM lens is designed to match the APS-C size image sensors of digital SLR cameras. Two SLD glass elements are especially effective in the compensation of magnification chromatic aberration. Glass mold aspherical lens at rear group of lens reduces color aberration and provides high-quality image results. From 40cm (15.7 ) minimum focusing distance to infinity, this lens creates very sharp images with high contrast. The HSM models provide quiet high-speed auto-focus shooting, as well as full-time manual focus. Large Maximum Aperture of F1.4 can perform superbly in a great range of applications, including snapshots, portraiture, indoor shooting and landscape photography.

5.0 out of 5 stars Can't recommend this enough, 18 May 2007
By S. Adams "Steve Adams" (Kent, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have a family and do lots of low light indoor shooting and spent many months trying to track down a suitable f2.0 level lens. There's no zoom on the market that's really right, I considered the nikon 17-55 f2.8 but at £900 its expensive and F2.8 is less than a full stop better than my kit 18-135 wide open. So not much gain there really.

So I bought this, never had a non zoom before so was very hessitant, but I shouldn't have worried. 30mm is a really good compromise focal length, and I can frame shots exactly how I want (okay, I sometimes step back/forward for it, but who cares).

The benefits are enourmous. I can shoot my nikon D80 on auto iso at max 800 and with a really nice narrow DOF, I get just fantastic shots. Shooting at 1600 for me degrates the image quality far too much, 800 is way way superior.

Images are ever so slightly softer at 1.4 than 2.0, so I do find myself shooting on ap priority at F2.0, images are sharper and I still get great shutter speed. if Light is really how, I cut down to 1.4, but really, F2.0 is just great.

Images are sharp, good contrast and colour is very good too.
At 250 odd quid its very very cheap.

>>> Update to this review...
When I first wrote this review I stated that at 1.4 its softer than 2.0. Subsequently, I realised this isn't exactly true, its just that at f1.4, you get such a narrow depth of field, the camera does struggle to focus. Its not the cameras fault, if you set your camera to central zone focussing, even this small area can be over a wide depth of field, so no wonder the camer has a problem.

What I've found is, I do need to take a few shots to get eyes exactly in focus, so its not too much of a problem.

I don't use my 18-135 anymore - even in bright sunny days (when it's not raining ;-) I still get much better shots on this lens.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good lens., 19 April 2007
The lens appears to be well made and finished and comes with a hood and HSM which is fast and quiet and allows manual override in auto focus mode. The 30mm designation equates to 48mm on an APS-C Canon DSLR with a "crop" factor of x1.6 and this makes it roughly the equivalent of a 50mm lens on a full frame camera. The aperture range is f1.4 to f16 and in my opinion the f1.4 is useable and comes in handy for indoor low light situations (I recently took some shots of a new baby and I didn't want to use flash and I'm happy with the results) as well as for shallow depth of field use.

All in all I'm very happy with this lens.

Note though that this is a DC lens and that it's suitable for APS-C sensor cameras only.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great indoor low light portrait lens for Digital SLRs, 8 Jan 2007
By Matt (Solihull United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
I have a Canon 400D (and before that a Canon 300D) and use this lens as my primary low light indoor portrait lens for snaps of the family / events etc. The 30mm x 1.6 = 48mm (due to small sensor on digital SLR cameras) makes this an ideal standard lens. The optics are amazing with sharpness, colour tone and auto-focus speed are all highly impressive. Highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars The only solution to the classic equiv. 50mm for film cameras.
For too long, for people like me that use APS-C 1.6crop D-SLRs, there wasn't any quality equivelant for 50mm. Well there was the 35mm L 1.4, but its price is way to high. Read more
