Sigma Contemporary 302972 30mm
Its f/1.4 maximum aperture and 30mm focal length provide strong low-light capability and smooth bokeh, housed in a weather-sealed, 286g body. Fast, near-silent autofocus and the 9-blade diaphragm make it equally reliable for video and portrait work. This lens best suits APS-C mirrorless shooters seeking a compact prime for everyday photography and shallow depth-of-field portraits.
