AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Sigma 30 mm F1.4 EX DC HSM
Older EX version · Canon mount · Serial number 10986340
The present lens is the Sigma 30 mm F1.4 EX DC HSM from the first generation offered from 2005. It should not be confused with the later Sigma 30 mm F1.4 DC HSM in the Art series, which is optically and cosmetically designed differently. This unit carries the serial number 10986340 and has the Canon mount for APS-C SLR cameras.
Its particular significance lies in the combination of a natural field of view and very high brightness. On Canon APS-C, the focal length corresponds to about 48 mm in full-frame terms due to the 1.6 crop factor. This makes it nearly ideal as a bright normal lens.

Introduction 2005
Strengths
• High brightness f/1.4 for interiors, dusk, and short shutter speeds.
• Normal, unobtrusive field of view on Canon APS-C.
• Noticeable subject separation at short to middle distances.
• HSM drive for relatively fast and quiet autofocus.
• Robust, typical EX-series construction of the time.
Typical limitations
When used wide open, performance is more centered on the image center. Edges and corners can appear noticeably softer; vignetting and color fringing are possible. Stopping down to about f/2 to f/2.8 generally improves contrast and uniformity significantly. This is not a defect of this specific exemplar, but corresponds to the typical performance profile of the design.
Operational status - Optics flawless (no coatings or the like)
