One of the things that I love most about this lens is its fast f/1.4 aperture, which allows for excellent low light performance and beautiful bokeh. I have been able to capture stunning portraits and creative shots with this lens that I couldn't achieve with other lenses in my collection.
Another aspect of this lens that impressed me is its build quality. The lens is well-constructed and feels solid in the hand, which gives me confidence that it can withstand the rigors of regular use. The autofocus is quick and accurate, which is particularly useful when shooting fast-moving subjects.
In terms of image quality, this lens does not disappoint. The sharpness is excellent throughout the entire frame, even when shooting wide open at f/1.4. The colors are also accurate, and the contrast is punchy, giving images a beautiful pop.
Overall, I highly recommend the Sigma 30mm F1.4 Contemporary DC DN Lens for Sony E A6000 to any photographer looking for a high-quality, versatile lens that can capture stunning images in a variety of shooting scenarios. Whether you're shooting portraits, landscapes, or street photography, this lens is an excellent choice that won't disappoint.
This is an affordable E mount lens that will let you take advantage of the high resolution of your NEX 7 (or any NEX cameras) sensor. The lens clunks when tipped end-to-end when powered off, this is normal.
Pros:
Low Price
Excellent image quality across the frame at all apertures.
Cons:
Aperture is a bit small at f/2.8 for a fixed focal lens of this size
Review:
The lens is excellent sharpness and resolution across the frame at all apertures. Distortion is pretty normal for this focal length with about 1% barrel distortion which is visible in some situations, might not be ideal for video with straight lines. Lens aberrations are well controlled, and there isn't much to dislike about this lens. I comment on size only because some other companies have equivalent lenses that are smaller and/or have smaller apertures.
Focus speed seems good in good light, and in low light the lens can hunt a little. I like the manual focus feel with DMF. The ring is well weighted and it is very easy to nail critical focus. Just realize this isn't the fastest lens for manual focus, but very accurate. It isn't going to feel like a manual focus Leica range finder lens, totally the opposite, but it makes small adjustments that are easy to get critical focus from a tripod or similar.
The clunking when you tip the lens end-to-end is from the focus lens elements sliding back and forth. They use a linear motor, like some maglev trains, that positions the lens elements using electromagnets. When the lens is powered off these are free to slide back and forth, but when it powers up they are held in place by the electromagnets. The downside here is that as long as the lens is turned on the batteries will drain a bit faster in the camera. On the plus side, when they improve focus speed of the NEX cameras, this lens should be able to focus faster.
Keep in mind, this is only 1 stop larger aperture than the kit zoom at the same setting, and your main benefit is going to be sharper corners vs the kit lens, and maybe sharper overall if you have a NEX 7 that out resolves the kit lens.
Again, buy this lens if you want a professional image quality lens from your NEX for a very good price and without resorting to large or expensive adapted lenses. So many of the current zooms and even the 30 mm f/3.5 macro, are no good in the extreme corners. The Image space telecentric design of the Sigma allows it to perform well across the entire frame. It is a little over half the size of the kit zoom, and lacks the flexibility and stabilizer, but is a nice step up in image quality.
At first I was a bit hesitant to buy this because of some of the reviews comparing it to the kit lens and how it does not have image stabilization. But I also read reviews that said the lens is excellent, so I decided to pull the trigger and got it. It was a good decision.
Why you should buy this:
1-Image quality is great, I've gotten some very sharp images all the way open at F2.8, I've gotten great results even in low light (without using the flash)
2-I love the 30mm range, which is equivalent to 45mm on a full frame. Great for indoors, outdoors, portraits, scenery, and all around street photography
3-It focuses fast, just as fast if not faster than the kit lens. I've used non-nex lenses on my NEX-7 using adaptors and I can't stand having to manually focus every time. The AF on this lens is as native as any Sony lens on the NEX-7
4-The lens is very portable, it comes with a carrying case, (which I found to be a nice touch from SIGMA) that can be use to swap out and carry the kit lens as it also fits in the case (though you have to take out the little pad in the case). The lens is light, yet sturdy, the lens fits great on the NEX-7 without sticking out so much out of the camera, is shorter than the kit lens, but not as short as Sony's 16mm f2.8.
5- Last but not least: for $150, at that price range, there is nothing better than this lens for the NEX's e-mount.
NO, it is not a perfect lens and one of its drawbacks is the lack of stabilization and the plastic(y) look and feel. But for the price, there is really no reason why not give it a try. I've seen reviews from people trying to compare this to the $1k 24mm 1.8 Zeiss, which costs 7 times more and (obviously) has better IQ. If you are trying to get a $1k image quality from a $150 lens then this is not for you, fork-out the $1k bucks and buy the Zeiss. But if you want great images at a low price, then this is a great choice.

Buen material, buen acabado y buena imagen 👌
Jolie bokeh, piqué excellent jusqu’à f8, voir f11 ( assez surpris ), le vignetage est visible à partir de f2 et en dessous, au delà il sera négligeable pour ma part.
L’auto focus est très réactif, il suit parfaitement les capacités du boitier et reste assez silencieux.
Niveau qualité de fabrication il semble plutôt solide en main, la molette est agréable ( on regrettera qu’elle soit en roue libre totale ).
En résumé c’est une très belle optique pour son prix, parfait pour les APSC ( sonya6700 pour ma part)
