Sigma Art 30mm f/1.4 DC DN 30mm
A bright f/1.4 aperture and 45mm-equivalent field of view on APS-C bodies distinguish this prime, using two SLD elements and an aspherical lens to suppress aberrations. Its Hyper Sonic Motor enables quiet, full-time manual-override autofocus, while the 431g build keeps it portable without image stabilization. This lens suits portrait shooters who need razor-thin depth of field and reliable low-light performance on Sony E or Canon EF-S mount cameras.
