The Sigma 30mm f1.4 is here!
I can’t wait to get out and shoot with the new lens. I wasn’t even dressed yet when the UPS guy knocked on the door. I had to crack it, and wait for him to get back to his truck. I didn’t want him to see me run out in my boxers!
So, I busted open the package and immediately was surprised to find the lens came with a hood and a nice padded, nylon zippered case. It has a little loop on it, so I can attach it to my camera bag too!
First thing, I slapped it on my D40 and shot a few photos. Amazing! I love it. Being the semi-novice, I’m still learning how to benefit from my manual features, so it will take some time before I really flex the 30mm’s muscle. Hopefully I can get out later today and test it out.
I’m real glad it arrived in plenty of time for next week’s evening photowalk, on a full moon.

MAN! That’s pretty dang awesome! That thing looks downright mean on the camera. I wouldn’t mind having a fast lens like that — my fastest is an f/2.8 and even that is pretty nice to have. I’ve got a couple of Sigmas too, and I love that padded case they come with — it’s nice to have when you don’t want to pack a big camera bag around.
