Sigma 30mm f/1.4 DC HSM Art Lens Review
From The PhotographyBlog conclusion :
The Sigma 30mm F1.4 DC A lens […] offers acceptable sharpness wide-open at f/1.4 […], excellent build quality, lovely bokeh and fast and quiet auto-focusing, all at a surprisingly affordable price.
The Sigma 30mm F1.4 DC A is tack-sharp in the centre from f/1.8 onwards, although you need to stop down to f/4 to get acceptable results at the edges of the frame. Disappointingly the lens does suffer from serious chromatic aberrations when shooting wide-open, along with obvious vignetting and some barrel distortion too.
