Sigma 30mm f1.4 DC DN Contemporary - Canon EF-M

Sigma 30mm f1.4 DC DN Contemporary - Canon EF-M arrives as a compact, fast-standard prime designed to bring bright low-light performance and creamy bokeh to Canon EF-M mirrorless shooters.

The lens features a 30 mm fixed focal length (equivalent to a standard field of view on APS-C cameras) and a minimum aperture of f/16 for increased depth when needed.

Optically, the construction consists of 9 elements in 7 groups, arranged to optimise sharpness across the frame and reduce aberrations. Nine diaphragm blades contribute to a pleasing, rounded bokeh quality that enhances background rendition for close subjects.
