Sigma 30mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary Lens for Micro Four Thirds, Bundle with 52mm Filter Kit, Cleaning Kit, Lens Cap Tether, Lens Cleaner, Lens Pouch

While the Sigma 30mm f/ 1.4 DC DN Contemporary Lens for Micro Four Thirds is a standard lens from the Contemporary line, it offers an extraordinary experience of shooting with F 1.4 brightness. This lens is a perfect blend of Sigma's cutting-edge technologies and design insights, providing photographers with the joy of capturing stunning portraits, tabletop still life shots, landscapes, and snapshots with a beautiful bokeh effect that only a large-aperture lens can offer. This lens is designed for optimal performance on cameras with APS-C image sensors, as indicated by the "DC" in its name.

When used with a full-frame image sensor camera, it may cause vignetting, so it's advised to adjust image area settings for optimal results. The "DN" in the lens name signifies its design for optimal performance on cameras with a short flange back distance. The Sigma 30mm f/ 1.4 DC DN Contemporary Lens is compact, making it a perfect match for light, compact camera bodies with a short flange back distance. It features Sigma's latest technologies, digitally correcting optical distortion while providing fast and smooth AF performance for videography and more. The lens combines compactness with outstanding optical performance, offering stability whether shooting handheld or with the camera placed on a surface.

The lens structure features Thermally Stable Composite (TSC), a new material that is highly elastic and exhibits minimal deformation. This contributes to the compactness of the lens and the smooth functioning of the aperture system. TSC also helps increase the precision of cells holding lens elements and parts related to the focus lens group, further enhancing lens performance. The Sigma 30mm f/ 1.4 DC DN Contemporary Lens offers image quality that rivals that of Sigma's Art line lenses. It incorporates one aspherical lens element and one double aspherical lens element, as well as an element made of high-refractive index, high-dispersion glass with high anomalous partial dispersion.

This lens takes advantage of the image correction capabilities of the mirrorless camera body, using the corrective power of the optical system to enhance sharpness. The lens design process has been optimized to minimize flare and ghosting, making it resistant to strong incident light sources such as backlighting. The lens also incorporates a stepping motor for quick and quiet autofocusing performance, making it ideal for videography. The 9-blade rounded diaphragm creates an attractive blur in the out-of-focus areas of the image, and the large-diameter lens with F 1.4 brightness allows for a shallow depth of field for a beautiful bokeh effect.

The Sigma 30mm f/ 1.4 DC DN Contemporary Lens is checked using Sigma's proprietary MTF measuring system (A1) using 46-megapixel Foveon direct image sensors before they are shipped, ensuring the highest quality. The lens is a testament to Sigma's commitment to setting new benchmarks for image quality in their Global Vision product lines.
