Is the Affordable Sigma 30mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary Lens Worth Buying? We Review

The 30mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary Lens from Sigma is an affordable, fast prime lens. On paper, it looks like it should be a fabulous piece of glass. I put it through its paces to see if it lived up to its marketing blurb. I never read other reviews before testing lenses, which was true of this lens. I didn't want any preconceived ideas. Furthermore, I don't own any Sigma lenses, so I made no presumptions. I didn't even look at the B&H website to see what the lens retails at; retail price is a good indicator of image quality.

Sigma 30mm F1.4 DC DN Contemporary Review

The new Sigma 16mm f/1. 4 DC DN Contemporary Lens is the world’s first interchangeable lens for mirrorless Sony E-mount cameras in the APS-C format to offer a 24mm focal length (35mm equivalent) and F1. 4 brightness. The lens for Micro Four Thirds offers a 32mm focal length (35mm equivalent) with the same f-number of 1. 4. This is the large-diameter wide-angle lens for which mirrorless camera users have been waiting.
