Sigma 30mm f/1.4 DC HSM A Lens Review

Sigma 30mm f/1.4 DC HSM A Verdict

During this test, we did have issues with inaccurate focusing, which may be down to a flaw with the samples provided for review, and were able to resolve using the Sigma USB Dock. Presuming this problem isn't widespread, then this lens is a great choice for owners of Canon cameras, after a high quality, standard lens with a fast maximum aperture. As Nikon users already have the 35mm f/1.8 as a choice, this Sigma lens would probably need to be a little cheaper in order to tempt people away from the Nikon optic.

   
  The Sigma 30mm has a fast f/1.4 aperture and very good sharpness in the centre.
