Sigma 30mm 1.4 canon review8/19/2023 ![]() The only lens I can compare its bo-keh as almost awful yet better is Sony's 2000$+ FE 50mm f/1.2 GM that I still wonder why people buy it. One thing I did not like is its rough bo-keh and it's "bad" when you compare it with legendary bo-keh masters like the "art deco" Pentax-A 50mm/F1.2 or the creamy yet perfect HD Pentax-D FA* 50mm F1.4 SDM AW. Our lenses shoot digital and any digital correction by eg Adobe just lifts up this lens to FA* quality. Yet all this are one click away and solved with digital TLC. It also suffers from ~1 stop vingetting wide open. It's CA, it's purple fringing etc are bad in extreme scenarios. Let me start with the disadvantage that is famous for. I baptised mine "Fat Boys" leaning on the unique characters of Pentax's DA Limited collection lenses where I have & use all six of them. It's half the weight of FA* 50/1.4 and triple the weight of the Limited 40mm/F2.8 but it's as if it's a blend of both. It's humongous hood and enormous 74mm diameter are like a "Bonnie and Clyde" match with a gripped KP that makes you want to shoot things. The lens is built like a tank and weights like a tank due to the plethora of Σigma magic inside. This lens will make you to fall in love with it's Σpirit. Sharpness: 9 Aberrations: 5 Bokeh: 5 Handling: 10 Value: 10 Camera Used: KP New Or Used: New Autofocus: 10 Rough bo-keh and nothing unsolvable with one click at Adobe (CA, Vingetting) True "nifty-fifty" mm for APS-C, sharp, "Limited.XXL" quality This lens replaces the now-discontinued Sigma 30mm F1.4 EX DC. This should ensure smooth and accurate autofocus. Quick-shift is also supported. The lens is compatible with Sigma's USB Dock, which enables firmware updates and focusing adjustments. The lens has a rear focusing system combined with an in-lens motor. With its fast maximum aperture of F1.4 it works well in low light situations and provides shallow depth of field. ![]() The Sigma 30mm f/1.4 DC HSM ART is basically what would be deemed a "normal" lens when used on APS-C (for which it is designed) with a horizontal field of view of 44 degrees.
