About this deal

Now let’s switch it for the XF 35 f2 and as I turn the focusing ring from infinity to the closest distance you’ll see a much greater magnification in the image. And in fact you’ll see the field of view continue to reduce as I keep turning the manual focusing ring – again sorry for the wobbles. So in terms of focus breathing, the more expensive 33 1.4 behaves much better than the compact f2 lens.

For those of us who work in full-frame angles of view, this lens provides a 45mm (Sony 1.5x field of view crop factor calculation) full-frame angle of view equivalent. Sigma has been busy re-developing their Contemporary range of lenses to maximise the potential of mirrorless cameras. This means Fujifilm users gain instant access to a tried and tested formula, which combines an extremely lightweight design with excellent optical results, available for the first time from Sigma for Fujifilm. What’s more, the line is blurring between their top-end professional Art series optics and these newer Contemporary models, which the 30mm f/1.4 DC DN lens joins. This standard focal width prime combines excellent build quality with special lens elements to render superb levels of detail and clarity. 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. This cutting edge material also helps to increase the precision of cells holding lens elements and parts related to the focus lens group, further enhancing lens performance. Compact Design With High Quality Results Designed with simplicity, this lens doesn’t have any buttons or switches. The simple design is sleek but I would have appreciated an auto/manual focus switch (very handy when shooting video). But now let’s compare it to the Sigma 23 in full-frame mode, and while some of the imaging circle remains visible as expected, it’s far less extreme than the Sony. Now to be fair, neither lens is designed to be used like this, but you can still see how the Sigma not only has a larger imaging circle, but one that remains respectably sharp well beyond the APSC frame size.Sigma claims that "The vast majority of contaminants work their way into lenses through the rear mount, so as long as they aren’t abused, these lenses will provide many years of trouble-free use, even in moderate weather. While 52mm enjoys only limited popularity as a filter size, 52mm filters are relatively inexpensive.

Sigma lenses are born of well-thought-out design concepts, exceptional Japanese craftsmanship and manufacturing, and advanced lens performance testing and evaluation. Sigma Contemporary lenses feature a mount gasket that protects against dust and moisture, but for affordability purposes, the balance of the lens is not sealed. Driven by a stepping motor, the Sigma 30mm F1.4 DC DN Contemporary Lens smoothly autofocuses with fast speed. This is Apsc lens, and Sony does not provide in body stabilization for its Apsc line. For us a6300 users, ibis is helpful. On my a7rii I wouldn't ever place neither of these two anyway for different reasons.Corner sharpness does not always matter, but it does matter for many disciplines, including landscape photography.

Tamron – Need lightweight, compact mirrorless lenses? Tamron has you covered, with superior optics perfect for any situation. With weather sealing and advanced image stabilization, you’ll open up your creative possibilities. Overall, I think this piece of glass does strike a good balance between price, image quality and the tradeoffs. Plus, it is made in Japan. Fuji X-T3 . Sigma 30mmF1.4 @30mm . f/1.4 . 1/5000″ . ISO 160 . Post-editedTo better reveal any differences in rendering, here’s my close-up bokeh ball test shot from the same distance with both lenses. Here’s the 33 1.4 wide-open at f1.4 where the subject in the middle is nice and crisp, surrounded by bokeh blobs with minimal out-lining but some faint onion-ring textures within, especially towards the edges. So how does it perform in real-world situations? Well, the image quality is exceptionally good. The results at wide-open actually surprised me. The details, sharpness and contrast are well preserved.

Classic Neg Initially, three F1.4 prime lenses ( 16mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary, 30mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary, 56mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary), which are currently available in four mounts (Sony E-mount, Canon EF-M mount, Micro Four Thirds mount and L-Mount) will be simultaneously released in X Mount, and the lineup will expand in the future. Specifically, the recently-released SIGMA 18-50mm F2.8 DC DN | Contemporary lens, currently available for Sony E-mount and L-Mount, is tentatively scheduled for a December 2022 release.

This lens comes with a filter size of 52mm, and it is more than welcome for photographers to buy filters at a more affordable price.Sell the kit you’re not using to MPB. Trade in for the kit you need to create. Buy used, spend less and get more. Buy. Sell. Trade. Create. Our used products are subject to wear and tear in comparison to brand new products. This also applies to accessories that are supplied with the camera including batteries which may have a lower optimum performance level/life expectancy. This was actually taken with the Leica CL, and came from my Sigma 30mm f1.4 L mount review (here). I put this in here because I wanted to at least show how this lens performs with fashion/portraiture. The settings were f1.4 and 100 ISO. 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. Chromatic aberration is the lens' inability to focus on the sensor or film all colours of visible light at the same point. Severe chromatic aberration gives a noticeable fringing or a halo effect around sharp edges within the picture. It can be cured in software.
