A new large-aperture F1.4 standard lens from the Contemporary line Offering an opportunity to experience the fun of shooting wide open with F1.4 brightness SIGMA 30mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary large-aperture standard lens gives owners of mirrorless cameras the opportunity to experience the fun of shooting wide open with F1.4 brightness. Photographers will enjoy the beautiful bokeh effect that only a large-aperture lens can offer and the exceptionally sharp optical performance expected from a fine prime lens. Leveraging SIGMA’s latest technologies and design insights this new lens fulfills the concept of the Contemporary line in which varied elements come together in optimal balance. A prime lens with a focal length of around 50mm and F1.4 brightness offers an angle of view very similar to human vision. The photographer can use the shallow depth of field at wide-open aperture to take stunning portraits and tabletop still life shots. Or he or she can close the aperture for greater depth of field and shoot landscapes or snapshots. In this way standard lenses allow photographers to enjoy so many of the fundamental methods of photography and have thus been favorites for decades. Photographers can experience F1.4 brightness and standard lens functionality with a 35mm equivalent focal length of 60mm on the Micro Four Thirds system and 45mm on the Sony E-mount system. About the lens name SIGMA lenses with “DC” in the name are designed for optimal performance on cameras with APS-C image sensors. When a DC lens is used with a camera with a full-frame image sensor vignetting will occur. Photographers are advised to adjust image area settings for optimal image results. SIGMA lenses with “DN” in the name are designed for optimal performance on cameras with a short flange back distance. A member of the high-performance Contemporary line featuring SIGMA’s latest technologies For optimal balance with light compact camera bodies with a short flange back distance SIGMA designed the new SIGMA 30mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary lens to be extremely compact. Moreover the special design of the focus lens group allows fast and smooth AF performance for videography and more. This lens combines a compact design and comfortable operation while prioritizing outstanding image quality. Featuring SIGMA’s latest technologies this lens digitally corrects optical distortion. Extra-long Hood Supplied The included lens hood is extra-long and features an antireflective coating to manage unwanted light. The hood also features rubber and anti-slip textures to make it easier for the photographer to hold while shooting. Combining compactness with outstanding optical performance The front lens element features high-refractive index high-dispersion glass for extra power and a shorter overall lens length. To optimize the lens for mirrorless cameras two aspherical lens elements help ensure outstanding image quality and overall compactness. The SIGMA 30mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary features SIGMA’s inner focus technologies while lighter lens elements in the focus lens group make possible a more compact actuator. Moreover this lens offers outstanding stability whether the photographer is shooting handheld or has the camera placed on a surface. Structurally the lens features materials and parts that contribute to its compact lightweight structure. In summary this is an unprecedented lens that combines outstanding optical performance with exceptional portability and usability. TSC used for a more compact structure and enhanced performance Since new material Thermally Stable Composite TSC is highly elastic it exhibits minimal deformation. Parts made of TSC are therefore less prone to develop gaps between each other over time. The SIGMA 30mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary features a lens barrel and aperture parts made of TSC which contribute both to the compactness of the lens and the smooth functioning of the aperture system. TSC helps increase the precision of cells holding lens elements and parts related to the focus lens group further enhancing lens performance. Thermally Stable Composite TSC offers thermal expansion characteristics similar to those of aluminum. Since parts made with TSC expand and contract less due to changes in temperature they tend to perform better under extreme conditions and help maintain the performance of the lens. TSC also offers outstanding elasticity. As compared to polycarbonate containing 20% glass TSC offers approximately 70% higher elasticity. As compared to polycarbonate containing 30% glass it offers 25% higher elasticity. Comparison is between SIGMA-produced components. Image quality rivaling that of our Art line lenses A compact lightweight lens offering outstanding image quality with F1.4 brightness In addition to featuring an optimized layout and
