My 30mm EX DC fell on the pavement from +/- one meter/three feet high, it still works perfectly and it also had no visible damage. Contrary to Sigma's reputation I assume it is a very solidly built lens.
Thank you so much for this comparison. I have the EX lens and was debating to see if I should get the ART, but after seeing in photos the major color differences and details, you've sold me on the ART. Still keeping the EX for other things. Will be using the ART for video.
I have the EX version and only compared them at a camera store but I found the new lens to have more purple fringing than the EX and was a little sharper but only when you’re pixel peeping. The EX also is very sharp in the centre so it became a nice portrait lens for my Nikon 1 V1. Now I use it on my Z5 and look forward using it on the Zfc eventually as a nice fast prime. Thanks for sharing your insights. Regards Gerry
Thanks for the review it is clear art 30mm is much better image quality. I will save to get the better quaility art version. You had me going, I though for a moment you were going to cheap out on the EX. I might even go for the Art 35mm 1.2 because I use the sigma Sd1 camera and it likes plenty of photons hitting that Foveon image sensor.
I would choose the 30mm 1.4 since you are using an APSC - Crop sensor, a 30mm will bring more to the table than the 50mm (it's equivalent to ~85mm on a full-frame - way too close if you shooting indoor or group of 3+ people)
The rule of interchangeability is that you can use full frame lenses on crop sensor cameras, but not the other way around. If you put a crop lens on your 6D you will likely see a lot of vignetting, if not a circle around the frame of the image.
Thanks, this really helped once searching for lens! Took the Art! 👍👍👍

the build quality on their Art range is very good

Always go for the quality option if you can :)
@@joefrancisphoto thanks Pal, I appreciate you getting back to me, oh forgive me I forgot to like and subscribe, I'll do it now. Take care
Really helpful, thank you 😊
You’re welcome. Thank you for the positive comment
Just got my EX lense for my a-mount today my focus ring is velvet smooth it is used so maybe worked in more.
Can I mount sigma 30mm 1.4 lens to my nikon D 750 on dx of fx Mode
well, Nikon D7100, a legend ! :))
canon 50mm 1.4 vs sigma 30mm 1.4 wich do you recommend for apsc canon?
I would choose the 30mm 1.4 since you are using an APSC - Crop sensor, a 30mm will bring more to the table than the 50mm (it's equivalent to ~85mm on a full-frame - way too close if you shooting indoor or group of 3+ people)
Canon 50mm is great for outdoor portrait on ASP-C and Sigma 30mm is a great everyday lens with that awesome shallow depth of field :)
Can I use 30Ex on my Canon Rp
Vignette a little bit is ok for me
I also want to know the answer to this question
Yes you could by using an adapter from ef to ef-m
Dùng adapter là được, nhưng có điều là nếu làm như vậy thì nên cân nhắc mua luôn Canon EF-M 32mm f/1.4 STM hoặc SIGMA 30mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary
I put the 30 ex on my Canon RP and turned off all the lens corrections off and cropped at 1.6x and it looks great.
Hello. Is the manual focus quick and linear on the EX ? thank
Thanks!!
Great review thanks
May I use 30mm signa lense for video on full frame 6d mark 2.
The rule of interchangeability is that you can use full frame lenses on crop sensor cameras, but not the other way around. If you put a crop lens on your 6D you will likely see a lot of vignetting, if not a circle around the frame of the image.
Thanks!
Is the ex great for video?
Not really. In manual focus it’d be ok
@@joefrancisphoto thank you!
Is the ex going to work on d5300?
Paduraru Florin yes
D7200
