Sigma 33B965 30 mm F1.4 DC DC Sony E-Mount-Black

Product Information

My old bright orange car I captured contrasted against the beauty of Waterton Lakes. Value for Money Where the Sigma truly struggles is with distortion. It exhibits a potentially distracting amount of barrel distortion, which is much more noticeable over the Sony's lesser amount of pincushion distortion. Thankfully, all standard Sony lens compensations are available and can be enabled to apply working corrections to out-of-cameraJPEG images with the Sigma, and correction profiles are available in Adobe Camera Raw.

fast aperture (F/1.4), typical for a "normal" prime lens. This lens has the equivalent view of 45mm on a Sony The fast f/1.4 aperture is amazing and can create incredible separation and bokeh effects that are sure to please and this lens is very affordable considering the huge heavy chunks of glass. It’s in his last paragraph. Do you like landscapes and shoot a lot at infinity? The Sony. Do you value image stabilization or have you gotten used to M since the camera will stay at 1/60 otherwise? I use M with every unstabilized lens and A with the stabilized ones.All this has been achievedwhile costing less than the 35 F1.8 OSS, and in fact many APS-C F1.4 primes for other systems. There is a slight cost in terms of distortion, but the high amount of sharpness means images should be more tolerant of correction. Probably a typical question, but like others i'm torn between the sigma 30mm F1.4 and the Sony FE 28mm F2. May one of the dpreview staff or one of the viewers, who had tested both of this lenses, kindly tell me which one is more flare resistant ? :D Mine still is in great shape after all these years. It’s even reversible for easier storage, fitting perfectly inside my Tenba BYOB 10. Weather Sealing DC lenses are exclusively designed for digital SLR cameras. The image circle (rear of lens) is made to match the smaller dimensions used for the image sensor on digital cameras. As a result these lenses are also more compact and lightweight, and are better matched to digital SLR cameras.

How important is the hybrid AF and face detect features of the Sony AF system to you? If these are important to you, then you will definitely want a native Sony, or Zeiss, lens that utilizes 100% of the AF feautures. Conversely, if you shoot mostly static scenes and don’t value face detection highly, then Sigma for E-mount is certainly an option for you. Any lens with a large aperture is begging to be used wide open. Indeed, while I was interested in seeing how the lens performed at f/5.6-f/11, the larger apertures proved to be the most interesting.The popularity of the a5000 and a6000/a6300/a6500 series coupled with the affordability and suitability of these three primes for a variety of genres means that they are amongst the most sought-after lenses for any camera system. Hey, thanks for looking through all my photographs! If you’re sold on the Sigma 30mm, please consider purchasing it through my link. I get a small commission at no extra cost to you, thanks! <3 Also, by the way, they also make this lens for Canon EF-M mount (among others). Autofocus is largely great, the sharpness is truly top tier, and the build quality is right up there with much more expensive lenses.

By f/5.6, the 30mm f/1.4 and 35mm f/1.8 overtake the 30mm f/2.8 by a small margin. This is because diffraction already appears at f/5.6 on this lens (which I found quite surprising to be honest). However, by f/8, the results seem to even out once again as diffraction takes its toll on the other two lenses. It is at this value that all three lenses begin to lose some contrast as well. The 16mm, 30mm and 56mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary lenses are the perfect trio if you own a crop sensor mirrorless camera. These are great lenses for street photography and excel in low light conditions." Chromatic aberrations are very well controlled and easily fixable with lens correction software. Vignetting is noticeable at f/1.4, but not to bad. Again incredible easy to fix in Lightroom or your preferred editing software. The Sony 35mm f/1.8 is the only lens that is perfectly compatible with a6300’s PDAF system, which makes sense given that it is a Sony E lens. If you switch over to C-AF and Wide focus area, for example, the green PDAF squares will light up across the frame regardless of where your subject moves. I took a few hundred photos with the two versions of the Sigma 30mm f/1.4 EX DC lens, and here are a some photos that help illustrate what this lens is capable of.Another trade-offforhavingan F1.4 maximum aperture in a relatively small lens is fairly severe barrel distortion that is easily detected in any scene with straight vertical elements. Without correction, it has potential to be a bit distracting.

The Sigma 30mm f/1.4 EX DC lens is not a light lens either considering it size. The weight is expected though as the f/1.4 aperture is large, and calls for 7 large SLD glass elements to make up the lens group. All that glass adds up to a pretty hefty little lens that tips the scales at 15.17 oz (430g).

all. The right shot shows the sun dead center, with no rings or flares. Very good control of flare and ghosting. Comparisons aren’t necessary for this section of the article because only the Sony 35mm f/1.8 comes with optical stabilisation (Optical SteadyShot). For those who own a Sony APS-C body without in-body stabilisation – essentially all bodies except the a6500 – having optical stabilisation can be an enormous advantage when shooting at slow shutter speeds.
