The Sigma 30mm f/1.4 DC DN 'C' lens is reasonably sharp and good value for money, offering good creative potential with its wide maximum aperture. The build quality of the lens is small and solid, and it works quietly and swiftly. On Sony cameras, the image quality is sharp with good contrast, although there is some corner softness and weak contrast at wider apertures. When used on a Canon EOS M camera, the lens remains strong in the middle at f/1.4, but the corners struggle due to the demanding sensor. There is notable distortion and vignetting at wider apertures, and some chromatic aberration at the widest apertures. Overall, it is a useful lens, especially for Canon EOS M owners, and offers good value for money.
