Sigma 30mm f1.4 DC HSM Lens

10-12-2013, 00:04

Anyone got any experience of this lens? It gets a few comments about slow focussing, but I recently had a play with the 35mm alternative which gets the same comments and that was fine. In fact I was wowed by it other than the weight which was large-brick-like!

30mm is half the price and 2/3rd the weight so I'm very tempted.

Note, not to be confused with the older EX version.

Since there were no replies to this, and I've had the opportunity to test one, the answer is now 'I have one'. Yet to have the opportunity to really try it out but initial trials are showing some lovely colours and excellent sharpness and IQ.
