The fast standard SIGMA 30mm F1.4 DC DN Contemporary lens lets mirrorless camera users experience the fun of shooting at a maximum F1.4 aperture. Particularly appealing are the beautiful bokeh that can only be achieved with a fast lens, and the exceptionally precise optical performance that characterizes a top-of-the-line fixed focal length lens. The latest technologies and design considerations characteristic of the Contemporary product line concept are well balanced in this new lens.

The shallow depth of field at full open aperture provides photographers with ideal conditions for fascinating portraits and still lifes. For landscape shots or snapshots, a smaller aperture with greater depth of field can be selected. Standard lenses offer a wide range of photographic applications and have therefore been part of photographers' basic equipment for decades.

SIGMA lenses with the "DC" designation offer optimum performance on cameras with APS-C image sensors. Using a DC lens on a camera with a full-frame image sensor inevitably leads to vignetting. For optimal results, match the active image field of the sensor to the image circle of the lens. SIGMA lenses with the "DN" designation offer optimal performance when used with cameras with a short flange focal length.

Combines compactness and outstanding optical performance

The front lens element is made of special glass that influences the refractive index and color dispersion and likewise provides extra performance and compactness of the lens. Two aspherical lens elements ensure excellent image quality and compact design, creating optimal conditions for using the lens on mirrorless cameras.

The SIGMA 30mm F1.4 DC DN Contemporary utilizes internal focusing technology and lighter lens elements in the focusing lens group allow for an even more compact actuator. This lens provides photographers with remarkable image stability both when shooting freehand and with the camera on. The materials and parts used allow for the construction of a compact and lightweight lens. The excellent optical performance of this unique lens makes it the first choice for photographers with a desire for equipment that is as lightweight and portable as it is easy to use.

A compact, lightweight lens with outstanding image quality and F1.4 aperture.

In addition to an optimized layout and power distribution, this lens features an aspherical lens element and a double-sided aspherical lens element. Also, glass elements that influence refractive index as well as dispersion and provide outstanding color dispersion characteristics. By effectively utilizing these technologies, the lens achieves excellent light output to the edges of the image while reducing lateral chromatic aberration. To correct distortion, the lens utilizes the image correction capabilities of the mirrorless camera body and enhances sharpness using the corrected optical system. The result is an extremely compact lens with image quality comparable to the Art line of lenses.

Shallow depth of field results in wonderful bokeh

Due to its fast F1.4 aperture, this lens allows for shallow depth of field and wonderful bokeh - a first for a standard mirrorless lens.
