Sigma 30mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary Lens for Sony E-Mount (Pre-Order here for $339.00) is designed for APS-C-format Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras, where it provides a 45mm equivalent focal length. The bright f/1.4 maximum aperture benefits working in low-light conditions and also affords extensive control over focus placement for selective focus.

This compact prime also incorporates a stepping AF motor for smooth, near-silent autofocus performance ideal for video recording.

  • 45mm (35mm Equivalent)
  • Aperture Range: f/1.4 to f/16
  • Three Aspherical Surfaces

      1. Here how it works. A 30mm lens will still be a 30mm no matter what format camera it’s used on. When shooting APS-C, 30mm is normal focal length that gives you the field of view you’d have with a 45mm lens on fullframe – but it’s actual focal length does not change.

        1. Thanks Brian.
