Review on High-Performance Sigma 30mm F1.4 Art Lens πŸ“· for Canon: A Must-Have for Precision and Creative Photography by Abhijit Abhijit ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The best I ever used, recommend it to everybody.

Lens from the category Must Have! I shoot reports for them in clubs and bars, mostly at 1.6-2.5, group shots at 2.8-3.5, everything in the depth of field, everything is sharp. As a staffer, it performs its tasks perfectly, it’s not very suitable for portraits even on a crop, although I might be used to 85 1.8, although even a fifty-fifty 1.8 shoots portraits better. But remember that this is 30mm. Chromatite only on open, corrected automatically in Lightroom. Focuses normally, similar in speed to canon 85 1.8. And yes! Sigma 30 1.4 art is set to FF, there is no vignette with black corners, there is a slight vignetting about half a stop, it is also automatically corrected in lightroom when choosing a lens profile. Filmed with a Canon 6D. Here are examples of photos taken with a bunch of 6D + sigma 30 1.4 Art (with a hood): http://fotki. . Ru/users/countpaul/album/209261/ everyone who doubts the purchase is better not to doubt, but to buy this glass, except for an excellent staff member.

Pros
  • Metal body, build quality, 1.4 working, not very expensive, fits full frame. Quiet AF, compact without hood. Sharp, good drawing and soft bokeh. A good staffer for crop.
Cons
  • Chromatic aberrations in the open position, the hood in the transport position closes the focus ring. For girls it might be hard.
