Digital camera reviews of Sigma 30mm f/1.4 EX DC HSM Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras

Digital camera Review: 30mm 1.4 for my 40D
Summary: 5 Stars

i'm not sure if i got a good copy of this, it's my first time to use prime and a 3rd party lens, i just don't know if it's normal that the lens makes squeaking sounds when auto focusing. you can't be so sure on lenses autofocus accuracy but you can make small alterations on the focus. i haven't tested it on a real photo shoot but my first few shots were not that good because i'm used to cameras and lenses with anti-shake system, maybe after few weeks or a month i'll be able to get use to this lens. i'm thinking of bringing it to a service shop for re-chipping just to be sure that the autofocus will work properly.

Summary of Sigma 30mm f/1.4 EX DC HSM Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras

This large aperture 30mm F1.4 EX DC HSM lens is designed to match the APS-C size image sensors of digital SLR cameras. Two SLD glass elements are especially effective in the compensation of magnification chromatic aberration. Glass mold aspherical lens at rear group of lens reduces color aberration and provides high-quality image results. From 40cm (15.7) minimum focusing distance to infinity, this lens creates very sharp images with high contrast. The HSM models provide quiet high-speed auto-focus shooting, as well as full-time manual focus. Large Maximum Aperture of F1.4 can perform superbly in a great range of applications, including snapshots, portraiture, indoor shooting and landscape photography.
