Review: Good First Impressions - By way of background; I am very much a novice when it comes to photography, but want to make it a serious hobby. Since I'm new to this type of high aperture lens, I am still trying to figure out the right f stop and ISO settings for various conditions. So please take my image quality impressions for what it's worth. I have owned my 60D for about two years and have been using the Canon 18-200 lens exclusively. This purchase is a result of an instructor's recommendation during one-day DSLR class and a LOT of internet research. My first impression of this lens is very high quality based on the materials and general look. I am very surprised how small the actual glass is considering this lens is designed to take in a lot of light. The first time i used it, I thought it didn't work because the focus ring didn't move and there was no motor noise. I later realized the focusing is silent and the ring doesn't move when focusing. This is a noticeable difference when comparing it to the Canon 18-200. So far, my close up outdoor shots look amazing (subject is about 1 to 5 feet away). You would think a professional took them! The focused subject is extremely sharp and the background is blurred perfectly - almost has a 3D look to it. All pictures were taken between 1.4 and 3.0 f stops. However, my indoor shots, especially with lower lighting are not so good. They are either out of focus or too dark. Further, when I focus on a distant object inside or outside, the picture doesn't seem very sharp So far, I am attributing these problems to user inexperience - anyone have advice here? At my daughter's birthday party today, I actually switched over to my reliable 18-200 to insure that I'd have good pictures. This also made me realize how much more real estate the 18mm gave me in tighter spaces. After downloading today's pictures to iPhoto it turns out most of the Sigma pictures came out good - looks like I'm starting to figure it out by day 10. I think this part will just take a little more time to perfect these indoor shots.
Review: The PERFECT lens for high-quality video conferencing from your desk - Having converted to work from home, but wanting to elevate my game, I installed Canon's EOS Webcam Utility on my Surface Book. I set up my Canon 70D on a tripod, one leg on my desk, the other two on the floor (desk is pulled out about 8 inches from the wall). I tried using my Canon 50mm f/1.8 - a GREAT lens for $125 - but it was too zoomed in on my APS-C sensor (would be great on a full frame), I had to sit too far away from my screen. I then was using a 24-70mm f/2.8 Tamron zoom. It worked, but still didn't soften the background as much as I wanted. I bit the bullet and bought this Art prime lens, and the 30mm focal length is PERFECT for sitting at your desk, with the camera just above your screen (where a webcam would normally go) when using the APS-C sensor size. At f/1.4 the bokeh is super soft, lighting is never an issue, and the autofocus on this is substantially faster than my 24-70 (not to mention, a lot quieter than on the 50mm f/1.8). It never hunts - it's just always in focus. The soft, blended background means a little mess is usually not visible. My 120lb dog sleeps on the bed regularly, and is only noticed when he gets up to stretch. Also, being in sharp focus with a soft background makes the virtual green screen option in Zoom crisper than usual, even without a green screen. A green screen is still way better, but such a hassle. I get more compliments on my visual setup without a virtual background - it makes a difference. Clients I speak with who know nothing about photography rave and ask how to get their camera to look so good. Took the lens out this weekend to shoot some up-close action shots of the kids at a baseball game - the pictures are fantastic. Bright, sharp, focused. The lens LOOKS good on the camera, sleek and solid. It may be my new favorite lens.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best lens I have owned yet
*by J***K on March 27, 2014*

Sigma 30mm f/1.4 HSM "Art" for Nikon I rarely, if ever, write reviews on Amazon. However, after several shots with this lens I decided to write a review of my initial experience with this lens. This says something about this lens. Currently, I'm using a Nikon D3300 with this lens and my primary purpose is still photos of my family with a secondary focus on video. I consider myself an amateur, not a professional. I have previously owned a Nikon D90, D700, D600, Canon 5D Mark II and Panasonic GH3. I've also owned the Nikkor 70-200 f2.8 VRII, Nikkor 50 f1.4 AFD, Nikkor 35 f2 and Nikkor 24-70 f2.8 AFS. First, my images captured with this lens are very sharp and perform on par or better than the lenses mentioned above. Shooting at f1.4 and f1.8 in my first few shots, I've already captured extremely sharp photos and the focus was spot on. Focus is clearly faster and much quieter than my kit lens. I don't experience focus hunting unless I'm taking close up images. The build quality of the lens is very good. On my Nikon D3300 body, it has become clear that the lens is superior to the body in terms of build quality. The focus ring moves well and stays in place. The AF/MF focus switch is also very sturdy and clicks into place solidly. I don't have any major negatives at this point, but will post later when they pop up. For now, I highly recommend this lens especially for those of you who have 1.5x crop sensor cameras. I was also considering purchasing the Nikkor 85 1.8G, but this lens is performing so well right now that I plan on holding off that purchase for a while longer.
