Sigma 30mm F1.4 Contemporary DC DN Lens on Sony A6300 Review

7 years 5 months ago #505236 by Ryan Obryan
So I just bought this lens for my Sony A6300.   I use this camera as a second body and will say, I was skeptical about buying a non-Sony or Zeiss lens.  This lens was $328 on Amazon, so not a huge cost.  

The f/1.4 is fast, and on my Sony, it equals 45mm.  Shooting 4k video is pretty nice.  It has a nice rubber grip on it.  The only thing I hate is the darn lens hood.  Sigma, it feels so cheap!  Please do something about this.  Honestly, it doesn't feel like it's screwed on and it's going to fall off.  

Just my 2 cents.

How do you like that camera?  I just noticed they launched a new one.  Thinking about it.
