The light-sensitive standard lens Sigma 30mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary allows users of mirrorless cameras to enjoy photography with a maximum aperture of F1.4. 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-class prime lens. The latest technologies and design considerations, characteristic of the Contemporary product line concept, are well balanced in this new lens.

This prime lens offers an angle of view similar to that of the human eye with an approximate focal length of 50mm and a brightness of F1.4. The shallow depth of field at wide open aperture provides photographers with ideal conditions for captivating portraits and still lifes. For landscape shots or snapshots, a smaller aperture with greater depth of field can be chosen. Standard lenses offer a wide range of photographic applications and have therefore been a staple for photographers for decades.

This standard lens provides a 35mm equivalent focal length of 60mm on the Micro Four Thirds system and 45mm on the Sony E-Mount system. Sigma lenses labeled "DC" offer optimal 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, the active image area of the sensor should be matched to the image circle of the lens. Sigma lenses labeled "DN" provide optimal performance in conjunction with cameras that have a short flange focal distance.
