The Sigma 30mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary is a normal-length prime lens for APS-C-format Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras. It gives a 45mm full-frame equivalent focal length. It is part of the Contemporary line in Sigma's Global Vision series, which balances a compact, lightweight build with optical performance.
The bright f/1.4 maximum aperture suits low-light shooting and gives control over depth of field for selective focus. A rounded nine-blade diaphragm contributes to smooth bokeh. Two aspherical elements and one high-refractive index element limit distortion and spherical aberrations. A Super Multi-Layer Coating minimizes flare and ghosting, including in backlit conditions.
A stepping AF motor provides fast, precise, near-silent autofocus for both stills and video. The lens is made with a Thermally Stable Composite (TSC) material for precision across wide temperature variations. A brass bayonet improves mounting accuracy and rigidity, and a rubber seal at the mount helps protect against dust.
