Combining outstanding optical performance and compact design, Sigma introduces a new F1.4 standard lens for mirrorless cameras: the Sigma 30mm F1.4 DC DN Contemporary Lens for Nikon Z Mount. It offers an opportunity to experience the fun of shooting wide open with F1.4 brightness. Photographers will enjoy the beautiful bokeh effect that only a large-aperture lens can offer and the exceptionally sharp optical performance expected from a fine prime lens. The control algorithm, including AF drive and communication speed optimization, has been developed. In addition to realizing high-speed AF, the lens also supports AF-C (Continuous AF) and in-camera aberration correction. The mount is rubber-sealed to accommodate use in a variety of environments.

Stunning Portraits and Tabletop Still Life Shots

A prime lens with a focal length of around 50mm and F1.4 brightness offers an angle of view very similar to human vision. Photographers can experience F1.4 brightness and standard lens functionality with a 35mm equivalent focal length of 60mm on the Micro Four Thirds system.

Member of the High-Performance Contemporary Line

For optimal balance with light, compact camera bodies with a short flange-back distance, Sigma designed the new Sigma 30mm F1.4 DC DN Contemporary lens to be extremely compact. Moreover, the special design of the focus lens group allows fast and smooth AF performance for videography and more.

Extra-Long Hood

The included lens hood is extra-long and features an antireflective coating to manage unwanted light. The hood also features rubber and anti-slip textures to make it easier for the photographer to hold while shooting.

Compact Structure and Enhanced Performance with TSC

Since the new material, TSC (Thermally Stable Composite), is highly elastic, it exhibits minimal deformation. Parts made of TSC are therefore less likely to develop gaps between each other over time. The Sigma 30mm F1.4 DC DN Contemporary Lens features a lens barrel and aperture parts made of TSC, which contribute both to the compactness of the lens and the smooth functioning of the aperture system.

Combining Compactness with Outstanding Optical Performance

The front lens element features a high refractive index, high-dispersion glass for extra power, and a shorter overall lens length. To optimize the lens for mirrorless cameras, two aspherical lens elements help ensure outstanding image quality and overall compactness.

Image Quality Rivaling the Art line Lenses

It is a compact, lightweight lens offering outstanding image quality with F1.4 brightness. In addition to featuring an optimized layout and power distribution, this lens incorporates one aspherical lens element and one double aspherical lens element, as well as an element made of a high-refractive index, high-dispersion glass with high anomalous partial dispersion.

Designed to Minimize Flare and Ghosting

From an early stage in the lens design process, flare and ghosting have been measured to establish an optical design resistant to strong incident light sources such as backlighting. Sigma’s Super Multi-Layer Coating reduces flare and ghosting to help photographers produce sharp, high-contrast images even in backlit conditions.

Shallow Depth of Field for a Beautiful Bokeh Effect

The standard lens for mirrorless cameras had one feature missing until now, which is a large-diameter lens with F1.4 brightness that makes possible a shallow depth of field for a beautiful bokeh effect.

High-Precision, Rugged Brass Bayonet Mount

The brass mount combines high precision with rugged construction. Its treated surfaces and enhanced strength contribute to the exceptional durability of the lens.

Rounded Diaphragm

The 9-blade rounded diaphragm creates an attractive blur in the out-of-focus areas of the image.
