This lens is perfectly suited for a wide range of subjects, portraits, indoor shootings etc. Large maximum aperture of F1.4 can perform superbly in a great range of applications, including snapshots, portraiture, indoor shooting and landscape photography. The HSM models provide quiet, high-speed auto-focus shooting, as well as full-time manual focus override. SLD (Special Low Dispersion and ELD (Extraordinary Low Dispersion) glass elements are used to obtain the best possible correction for magnification and chromatic aberrations, which are particular problems for digital cameras.įrom 40cm (15.7”) minimum focusing distance to infinity, this lens creates very sharp images with high contrast.
Additionally, a brass bayonet affords improved mounting accuracy and rigidity. Rounded nine-blade diaphragm contributes to a smooth and pleasing bokeh quality.Ĭonstructed using a Thermally Stable Composite (TSC) material for greater precision and use in wide temperature variations. Two aspherical elements and one high-refractive index element are used to limit distortion and spherical aberrations and also contribute to greater overall sharpness and accurate rendering.Ī Super Multi-Layer Coating has been applied to lens elements in order to minimize lens flare and ghosting and contribute to producing contrast-rich and color-neutral imagery, even in backlit conditions.Ī stepping AF motor benefits both photographers and videographers with its fast, precise, and near-silent performance. Normal-length prime is designed for APS-C-format Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras and provides a 45mm equivalent focal length.īright f/1.4 maximum aperture excels in low-light conditions and also affords increased control over depth of field for achieving selective focus effects. Additionally, benefitting both stills shooting and video recording, this compact prime also incorporates a stepping AF motor for smooth, near-silent autofocus performance.Īs part of the Contemporary line within Sigma's Global Vision series, this lens is designed to achieve a balance between convenience and performance, and meshes a compact, lightweight build and versatile handling with notable optical attributes. Also, a Super Multi-Layer Coating has been applied to control lens flare and ghosting in strong lighting conditions. The optical design features a pair of aspherical elements, along with one high-refractive index element, which significantly reduce spherical aberrations and distortion for increased clarity and definition for notably sharp image quality. The bright f/1.4 maximum aperture benefits working in low-light conditions and also affords extensive control over depth of field for using selective focus techniques.
A fast, versatile prime, this 30mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary Lens from Sigma is designed for use with APS-C-format Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras.
