Sigma 30mm f/1.4 DC HSM Art Lens (Nikon F)

The Sigma 30mm f/1.4 DC HSM ART is a DX-format prime lens that delivers exceptional versatility for Nikon F-mount shooters seeking optical excellence in a compact form factor. The f/1.4 aperture provides superior low-light performance and precise depth-of-field control, enabling refined subject isolation through selective focus techniques. Aspherical element integration minimizes distortion and spherical aberrations, ensuring accurate rendering and resolute sharpness across the frame. Multi-layer coatings effectively combat flare and ghosting, preserving contrast in high-contrast scenarios. The Hyper Sonic Motor paired with rear-focus architecture enables rapid, silent autofocus operation with seamless manual override capability, making this lens an intelligent choice for demanding photographers.

Key Features:

• 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 color-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.
