This lens has no lS, so the results using handheld are not great, put the same lens on a camera mounted to a tripod and the results are amazingly sharp especially when you use live view mode and zoom in to focus. l wouldn't use this lens as a general walkabout lens, shame it doesn't have IS.

For the crop sensor Canon camera this lens is a no brainer. Much cheaper than the canon equivalent (the 35mm f/1.2) which is a better lens but not as much as the price difference suggests. On a crop sensor the 30mm gives a 48mm field of view on a full frame 35mm camera, which is pretty much "as the eye sees it". It is good for a variety of situations. Its a pretty decent landscape lens, and a great portrait lens. its also tack sharp wide open at f/1.4, which not many lenses are capable of or pull off, and at this price point there are not any lenses that can do this. buy it, you will not be disappointed.
This is a truly outstanding lens, auto ficus is fast and very quiet and manual focus is smooth and precise with a nice level of resistance to help keep it precise. The image quality far exceeds my expectations having bought it I thought, as a compromise whilst looking at the canon L range, but I’m pretty sure this compares well when balancing cost/quality. If you want top quality Bokeh you will not be disappointed, this lens has it in abundance and beautifully smooth with it. I’m now looking at other Sigma Art lenses to up my photography level instead of my first and natural route to the canon L lenses.

This is an excellent lens for low light photography as well as portrait photography. I have read about focusing problems on the net but i had no problems or whatsoever on my eos 450D. The lens optically at least in the center is excellent and the build quality is also one of the top. Furthermore the only problem was that i have purchased it from Hong Kong and i took a whole month to arrive. Although it cost 50 euro cheaper i had to pay it for tax.. so i would advise you to purchase them from european sellers. It is an excellent lens for a crop factor dslr.

I got it for 200€ and was pleasantly surprised that it also works on Full Frame cameras with acceptable amounts of vignetting. It focuses very quickly and responsively and the image is very sharp. Overall a great value lens!

It's very sharp, the blur is amazing and the image looks very high quality. It's durable with strong focus ring (it's perfect) but the auto focus in the videos is VERY noisy and it doesn't stop. So I film my videos in the manual which is hard because I can't see very well if I'm in perfect focus when I film myself (for youtube videos). However for it's price it's totally worth it! The shipping was fast and it was in perfect condition.

I bought this lens on the recommendation of a photographic training video and im so happy I did I thought at first it would be used a few time and spend a lot of its life in my lens bag but I use it all the time due to it having such fast glass. Only down side is I have noticed some distortion on the very outer reaches of the image but over all I think it's a good lens.
This lens is awesome. Sharp and crisp, even colours seem more vibrant. Needed hardly any adjustment on the dock. If I do have just one gripe it's that it would be even better with OS. this lens I take everywhere, weddings, studio work, just the best.

This lens is sharp, the colours are out of this world and it looks the part along side any kit. Over the moon with this lens. Perfect for what i need.
