Sigma 30mm f/1.4 DC HSM Art Lens for Nikon

The Sigma 30mm f/1.4 DC HSM Art lens stands out as a sophisticated and compact prime tailored for DX-format Nikon F-mount cameras. With its bright f/1.4 maximum aperture, this lens excels in challenging lighting situations and offers enhanced control over depth of field, allowing photographers to isolate subjects with selective focus. Its optical design incorporates an aspherical element, which effectively reduces distortion and spherical aberrations, ensuring accurate subject rendering and sharpness.

Furthermore, a Super Multi-Layer Coating applied to individual elements minimizes ghosting and flare, resulting in greater contrast, especially when working in strong lighting conditions. In addition to its optical features, this lens boasts a Hyper Sonic Motor and rear focusing system, enabling rapid, quiet, and precise autofocus performance. Moreover, it offers full-time manual focus override, providing photographers with added flexibility and control over their shooting experience.

• As part of the Art line within Sigma’s Global Vision series, this lens is designed to achieve truly notable optical performance and is ideally suited for creative and artistic applications.
• Normal-length prime is designed for DX-format Nikon F-mount cameras and provides a 45mm equivalent format.
• Impressively bright f/1.4 maximum aperture is well-suited for working in low-light conditions and also provides greater control over the focus position when using shallow depth of field techniques.
• One aspherical element is used to help limit distortion and spherical aberrations and also contributes to greater overall sharpness and accurate rendering.
• A Super Multi-Layer Coating has been applied to lens elements in order to minimize lens flare and ghosting and contribute to producing contrast-rich and colour-neutral imagery, even in backlit conditions.
• Integrated HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor), along with a rear focus system, realizes quick and quiet autofocus, which is further complemented by an optimized AF algorithm to produce smoother focusing performance. The HSM also permits full-time manual focus control simply by rotating the focus ring at any time.
• Rounded nine-blade diaphragm contributes to a smooth and pleasing bokeh quality.
• Constructed using a Thermally Stable Composite (TSC) material for greater precision and use in wide temperature variations. Additionally, a brass bayonet affords improved mounting accuracy and rigidity.
• This lens is compatible with the optional Sigma USB Dock for fine-tuning different lens characteristics and updating its firmware.
