Featuring a fast f/1.4 aperture, advanced optical elements, and a quiet stepping motor for smooth autofocus, it delivers stunning low-light performance and beautiful bokeh. Built with durable Thermally Stable Composite materials, this lens balances portability with professional-grade precision, making it a must-have for lifestyle, portrait, and everyday photography. ## Description The SIGMA 30mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary large-aperture standard lens gives owners of mirrorless cameras the opportunity to experience the fun of shooting wide open, with F1.4 brightness. Photographers will enjoy the beautiful bokeh effect that only a large-aperture lens can offer and the exceptionally sharp optical performance expected from a fine prime lens. Leveraging SIGMA's latest technologies and design insights, this new lens fulfils the concept of the Contemporary line, in which varied elements come together in optimal balance. A prime lens with a 35mm equivalent focal length of 45mm and F1.4 brightness, it offers an angle of view very similar to human vision. The photographer can use the shallow depth of field at wide-open aperture to take stunning portraits and table top still life shots. A member of the high-performance Contemporary line, featuring SIGMA's latest technologiesFor optimal balance with light, compact camera bodies with a short flange back distance, SIGMA designed the new SIGMA 30mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary lens to be extremely compact. Moreover, the special design of the focus lens group allows fast and smooth AF performance for videography and more. This lens combines a compact design and comfortable operation while prioritizing outstanding image quality. Featuring SIGMA's latest technologies, this lens digitally corrects optical distortion. The front lens element features high-refractive index, high-dispersion glass for extra power and a shorter overall lens length. To optimize the lens for mirrorless cameras, two aspherical lens elements help ensure outstanding image quality and overall compactness. The SIGMA 30mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary features SIGMA's inner focus technologies, while lighter lens elements in the focus lens group make possible a more compact actuator. Moreover, this lens offers outstanding stability whether the photographer is shooting handheld or has the camera placed on a surface. Structurally, the lens features materials and parts that contribute to its compact, lightweight structure. In summary, this is an unprecedented lens that combines outstanding optical performance with exceptional portability and usability. Image quality rivalling that of our Art line lenses The large-diameter lens with F1.4 brightness makes possible a shallow depth of field for a beautiful bokeh effect-unavailable until now in a standard lens for mirrorless cameras. In addition to featuring an optimized layout and power distribution, this lens incorporates one aspherical lens element and one double aspherical lens element, as well as an element made of high-refractive index, high-dispersion glass with high anomalous partial dispersion. By effectively leveraging these technologies, the lens delivers an outstanding level of light to the edges of the image while minimizing lateral chromatic aberration. To correct distortion, the lens takes advantage of the image correction capabilities of the mirrorless camera body, using the corrective power of the optical system to enhance sharpness. The final result is an extremely compact lens that delivers image quality that rivals that of our Art line lenses. Shallow depth of field for a beautiful bokeh effect The large-diameter lens with F1.4 brightness makes possible a shallow depth of field for a beautiful bokeh effect-unavailable until now in a standard lens for mirrorless cameras. The 9-blade rounded diaphragm creates an attractive blur in the out-of-focus areas of the image. Fast and smooth AF By incorporating a stepping motor, the lens offers exceptionally quick and quiet autofocusing performance. This feature is especially useful when using the camera to take videos. This lens is also compatible with Sony E-mount Fast Hybrid AF. TSC used for a more compact structure and enhanced performance Since new material Thermally Stable Composite (TSC) is highly elastic, it exhibits minimal deformation. Parts made of TSC are therefore less prone to develop gaps between each other over time. The SIGMA 30mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary features a lens barrel and aperture parts made of TSC, which contribute both to the compactness of the lens and the smooth functioning of the aperture system. TSC helps increase the precision of cells holding lens elements and parts related to the focus lens group, further enhancing lens performance. Review: Great mid level lens for small packages - It's sigma so it feels great, looks great and shoots great. Paired with a Sony ZVE-10 is a perfect small form factor power house. 30mm is a really nice happy medium for everyday shooting both lifestyle and portrait stuff. Auto focus is immediate. It really is hard to take bad photos with this lens. Small, light and well priced highly recommended for the a6k series or Zv series Review: Good value for money, a must have - As I spent my learnign months using only the sony a6000 kit lens (zoom lens) I needed a new lens. After research on quality and price check this seemed to be a good lens that matched my expectations. And it is what I expected from it. Using only zoom lens for a year, it was a challenge to try this one. But being a prime lens with a large aperture of 1.4 it helped me better integrate in my instincts how the aperture and distance from the subject in focus affect the look of the bokeh. The warm tones, the clarity and overall performace at high and low aperture make this is must have for any beginner or even for other pro photographers as well. To me Sigma is now a company I can trust and I am thrilled for my new purchase when I will afford to upgrade my gear. ## Features - Designed for Compact System Cameras with an APS-C size sensor - A compact, lightweight lens offering outstanding image quality with F1.4 brightness - Image quality rivalling that of SIGMA's Art line lenses - Fast and smooth AF.

Also consider the Sony FE28 f2, also a sharp lens. On APS-C it has T stop of 2, sigma has t-stop of 1.8 on this f1.4 lens. The Sony FE28 lens fits the app-c body's better than sigma lens. I went with the sigma though but I'm not sure I would a second time, due to size. **Q: How does this compare to the Sigma 30mm f/2.8? Are there different purposes for each? I am looking for the sharpest focus throughout the photo.** A: I have the 30mm f2.8 and this 1.4 and I don't notice much difference under normal conditions. Maybe other more extreme conditions this f1.4 would be better **Q: Is this a full frame lens?** A: This lens is designed for the aps-c sensor, that's a crop sensor format. **Q: hola le queda a una sony A7III** A: Si, es la misma montura, asegúrate que cuando lo coloques activar el modo apsc, si bien le hace no es tan recomendable porque se te va a recortar la imagen ya que el lente es de apsc ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great mid level lens for small packages *by L***R on 27 December 2025* It's sigma so it feels great, looks great and shoots great.

The sharpness and the DOF are another level. Works perfectly with my Sony a6400. I am still have some flags regarding the manual focus but I haven't explored it so much yet.
