Sigma 30mm F1.4 EX DC HSM Lens Review at Ken Rockwell

June 5, 2007

Sigma 30mm F1.4 EX DC HSM LensKen Rockwell takes the Sigma 30mm F1.4 EX DC HSM Lens for a test drive and offers the following, “It works well for its intended purpose: low-light hand-held shooting. Optically it’s not as good for shooting test charts as the Canon or Nikon f/1.4 lenses that cost several times as much, but this is irrelevant because of the tiny depth of field at f/1.4 for photographing real things. On the downside - AF often focused slightly in front of my subject, potentially significant at the large apertures for which you buy this lens. I worked around this by pointing my AF sensors at something behind my subject if it was critical.”
