Sigma 30mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary – L-Mount

This prime Sigma lens has received uniform praise from other camera users so Leica photographers will be delighted that it has been released for L-mount crop sensor cameras. Providing an equivalent focal width of 45mm (in 35mm format) this model delivers a slightly wide standard focal width similar to that which the eye sees. This is ideal for any number of subjects including general purpose shooting, travel, street and portraits. The fast, bright aperture delivers excellent low light performance together with extremely fine depth of field. This makes for a strong portrait offering, particularly when combined with the nine bladed round aperture for buttery smooth bokeh.

Photographers and videographers who shoot in natural light will benefit from the super multi layer coating which delivers high contrast, well controlled flare and ghosting. The addition of a number of advanced optical elements also help to achieve natural colour with limited fringing. Quick autofocus is achieved through Sigma’s stepping motor which is virtually silent, which will also appeal to videographers. The 30mm Contemporary lens will also appeal to anyone who travels given its’ lightweight form of just 255g.
