Review on Sigma 30mm F1.4 Contemporary DC DN Lens: A High-Performance Sony E-Mount Lens by Swami Nathan ᠌

I bought this glass as a lens for everyday shooting. I was pleasantly surprised by the build quality of the lens, compared to the 2022-12 series, this parameter has noticeably improved, in the event that when buying, it can be a normal lens, it can get caught with a defect (the petal mechanism of the aperture wedges tightly), nothing hangs here, aperture opens silently. A sharp picture is already at aperture 2-2.8, it focuses on the NEX-6 quite quickly at this aperture, 1.4-1.6 crawls if you try to focus on the distance, from 1.8 it focuses on everything. Image quality is unbeatable at this focal length. SEL 30M35 from SONY loses a lot (noise, aperture), SIGMA 30 mm / 2.8 (cardboard image). RAW stretches well, has its own profile in Lightroom. For such a price (in the world) excellent glass. At first glance, SIGMA has made a big step forward compared to the generation for the NEX-5. I hope it doesn't change.
