P1505 Posted January 21, 2021 Share #1 Posted January 21, 2021 Advertisement (gone after registration) I can’t find much information on this lens with regards to using it in the L Mount. Does anyone have any experience? For £270 it’s possibly worth a punt. Full name: Sigma 30mm f1.4 DC DN Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted January 21, 2021 Posted January 21, 2021 Hi P1505, Take a look here Sigma 30mm f1.4 any good?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
P1505 Posted January 21, 2021 Author Share #2 Posted January 21, 2021 Ignore me it’s not full frame. DG DN is the one I need to look for. My fault for drinking wine while researching. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggie Posted January 21, 2021 Share #3 Posted January 21, 2021 If you want a good sigma DG DN, then get the 45mm 2.8. The rendering is fantastic. There are plenty of new ones being sold on eBay for about £270 as they came free with the Panny S5 and people don’t realise how good they are because too many reviewers obsess about sharpness and too many reviewers use Sony bodies on which the AF doesn’t gel. Read the Fred Miranda review thread here to really understand the beauty of this lens. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
P1505 Posted January 21, 2021 Author Share #4 Posted January 21, 2021 Have that lens. But miss the 35mm. Maybe I need to give it more time. Great little lens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would the 24mm f3.5 suit? That seems to be the pick of the new I-series lenses (I'm going for the 24mm and giving the 35mm f2 a miss as the rendering is too busy for my taste).

P1505 Posted January 22, 2021 Author Share #6 Posted January 22, 2021 Yeah I’ve just seen that. Pre order is in I want the 85mm also, then I think my collection is complete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pre order is in I want the 85mm also, then I think my collection is complete. It looks like we're headed the same way! I have the 85mm f1.4 DG DN. It's a great lens - but much bulkier and heavier than the I-series. I'm also contemplating the 105mm f2.8 DG DN Macro as the rendering on that looks lovely and I fancy the idea of having macro capability but the focal length may be a bit close to the 85mm. There is a lightly used 85mm available here for €849. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
P1505 Posted January 22, 2021 Author Share #8 Posted January 22, 2021 Sadly import duties and shipping make it cost about the same as buying it locally. 85mm will be odd for me I’ve shot 28-35 for years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
P1505 Posted January 26, 2021 Author Share #9 Posted January 26, 2021 The 24 DG DN should arrive Thursday. The 85 maybe Friday. I have a feeling the 85 will get hardly any use. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
