Best lens for the price.

However when looking for a large aperture (f1.4 or larger) lens that's sharp and with shallow DoF, things get a bit complicated.
Our options, with autofocus, are:
Panasonic Leica Summilux DG 25mm F1.4 for USD 519.99
Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 25mm f1.2 PRO for USD 1,199.99
or this lens, the Sigma 30mm f1.4 DC DN Contemporary for USD 339.00
Granted the Olympus has superior optics, is weatherproof and more solidly built but its 3.5X the cost!
However the Panasonic Leica cannot claim any of those and is still a good USD 180 more.
The only weird thing about the Sigma(and this depends on your needs) is its 30mm (60mm =) focal length. This makes it harder as a walk round lens but is actually more adequate for portraits. In my case it suits me fine as I'd rather have a 17mm (35mm =) as walk around lens.
If you have a MFT system you should give this lens a try.

I didn't feel it was too big. I did come from a DSLR, so any MFT lens/camera combo doesn't feel too big. Maybe if you're using a Panasonic GM1 or GM5.
I would recommend this lens, but check the focus.
- Fast auto focus
- Comes with lens cap + lens hood
- Robust, solid feeling lens. Slightly larger than the Lumix 25mm (1.7).
Works beautifully with my GH5. This lens is replacing my Lumix 1.7 (25mm) for video interviews.
Attached are freeze-frames from my video (4k video from Panasonic GH5).

The focus ring is not mechanical, and there is no aperture ring either. It's not a manual lense. But you get the exif data, you have a very good autofocus that is faster than my lumix zooms, and the focus by wire ring is very good and precise.
I will probably get their 16mm or 56mm. Those lenses are incredible! Well built, and an unbeatable price!

But even though there is no wr rating specifically for the 30mm, the build quality is so good for the price. However! It is not the build quality that takes the photos.

1 Compacité : En vrai il est très peu encombrant, je me retrouve à l'utiliser 80% du temps.
2. Autofocus : Très sympa et rapide. Petite perte de rapidité lorsqu'on rajoute des filtres devant mais cela reste très convenable.
3. Luminosité : Avec un ouverture à 1.4 il permet de belle photos de nuit.
4. Fluidité : La manette de focus est très très souple ce qui permet un confort d'utilisation non négligeable !
Conclusion : Très bon objectif pour tout le monde débutant comme pro pour des photos portrait. Je vous laisse un exemple en photo. Si vous avez des questions n'hésitez pas à me les poser ici ou bien sur mon instagram : yann_goasguen

Ich entschied mich für das Sigma aus folgenden Gründen:
1. Die Brennweite liegt gut zwischen dem 20er und 45er, und ergänzt sie so, kann aber notfalls auch beide ersetzen als „Immerdrauf“.
2. Die optische Leistung bei Offenblende ist so gut, dass Abblenden im Wesentlichen nur die Schärfentiefe vergrößert. Vignettierung und Randschärfe sind sehr gut.
3. Blende 1,4 hat bei 30 mm mehr Freistellungspotenzial als bei 25 mm. Die Hintergrundunschärfe ist beim selben Abbildungsmaßstab des Hauptmotivs zwar ähnlich, aber man hat weniger Details, und es wirkt verdichteter (leichter Teleeffekt).
4. Größe und Gewicht mögen zwar als Minuspunkt erscheinen an MFT, aber ich empfinde es an der Olympus EM-1 mit Handgriff genau richtig. Es entspricht vom Formfaktor einem Profi-Standardzoom 12-35 oder 12-40/2,8, und damit kommen wir ja auch klar. Die Kombination sieht professionell aus, und das ist bei Hochzeiten und anderen Events nicht unwichtig.
Gleichzeitig ist das Design des Sigmas schlicht, aber nicht billig. Der Fokusring ist butterweich, und manuelles Scharfstellen ein Traum. Die mitgelieferte Gegenlichtblende habe ich durch eine Gummisonnenblende für Zoomobjektive ersetzt, die man voll ausklappen kann und dann nicht vignettiert. Damit sieht das Objektiv noch professioneller aus, und man hat keine Angst, die aufgesteckte Sonnenblende zu verlieren.
Die Nahgrenze reicht für Objekte mit 12 cm Breite, genug für Trauringe und das Buffet ;) Ich habe mir zeitgleich noch das Panasonic Leica 15/1,7 gegönnt, und beide sind eine unschlagbare Combo für Innenräume, wo 20mm und 45mm oft zu lang wären.
Der Preis ist für ein Objektiv dieser Güte wirklich günstig, und man kann nichts verkehrt machen, solange man mit der relativen Größe gut klar kommt.
