Rusty Posted January 29, 2022 Share #1  Posted January 29, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) A couple of landscape shots with the Sigma 30mm f1.4 apsc lens for anyone thinking of getting one. I like it. Its bit bigger than the 18/2.8 but from specs is small than the Leica TL 35mm and of course a lot cheaper. I will also post a couple with the Sigma 56mm f1.4 apsc lens in a seperate post Welcome, dear visitor!

Shawn30 Posted February 14, 2022 Share #4  Posted February 14, 2022 I like the 30mm, on the CL, it renders great colors and is uber sharp in the center. This isn't a great picture just an example of the bokeh on the 30mm 1.4. Welcome, dear visitor!

mmanda Posted July 2, 2023 Share #6  Posted July 2, 2023 I tried using this lens at a kids party yesterday on the CL and was most frustrated with it at times.  The room was well lit with both overhead lights and natural light.  Many times I would prefocus on my subject and it would not lock focus, hunting. Then other times it would work perfectly, mostly after camera being woken from auto power off.  Always same settings Here’s an example from the day. Exif should show settings.  Maybe I’ve got something wrong? Would love to hear how other people are getting on with this lens  I do have a TL 18mm on its way to me. Maybe I’m expecting too much from a cheap lens??  Welcome, dear visitor!

Thanks Jayne.  Thought as much! I’ve got an M240 and was thinking if I wanted to miss images i could just shoot with that! 😆  this Elsa was pretty amazing. In character with her American accent and amazing singing voice! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le Chef Posted July 4, 2023 Share #11 Â Posted July 4, 2023 I have both the Sigma 30 and the 56 and found initially that they both hunted for focus. I updated the firmware for the lenses and that seems to have reduced the problem. You can download a firmware update from the Sigma site. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that... seems 56mm still has firmware 1:1 (Jan 2020) so mine is up to date, but the 30mm got another update 2022. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
