For those of you reading this and not familiar with Sigma Art lenses they are heavy. So it makes your camera a two hand camera. The quality of this lens is very high quality. So far I have only takes 25 shots with my Sigma SD15 as the lens carrier. The lens is not stabilized and neither is my SD15 so a tripod is required. The lens is a fast aperture lens. The Sigma 30mm f/1.4 EX DC HSM Lens is a popular lens. Adding a relatively low price point, fast HSM autofocusing, small size and good build quality to the fast aperture puts the 30 f/1.4 in its own class. At 2.97" x 2.3" (75.5mm x 59mm)(DxL) and 15.2 oz (430g), the Sigma 30 f/1.4 is relatively small and in the medium-light weight class. The 62mm filter diameter is somewhat unusual (some of Sigma's non-EX zoom lenses share this size). Build quality is very nice. If you like Sigma's standard slightly-speckled matte finish, you will like how this lens (and its included hood) feel. With a minimum focusing distance of 15.7" (40cm), the Sigma 30mm f/1.4 EX DC HSM Lens has a low native maximum magnification of 1:10.4 or about .1x. You will want larger subjects for this lens - Like people, landscapes, automobiles and other much-larger-than-small-sized subjects. With the wide f/1.4 aperture, indoor photos of people are one of the best purposes for this lens. Remember - A close focusing distance will yield a shallow field of view at f/1.4.
