Amazon.com Product Description
Designed to match the APS-C size image sensors of Nikon digital SLR cameras, the Sigma 30mm f/1.4 lens is an ideal choice for a wide range of applications, including snapshots, portraiture, indoor shooting, and landscape photography. The 30mm lens relies on two special-low-dispersion glass elements and a glass-mold aspherical lens. Combined, the construction details correct for all types of chromatic and color aberrations.

From the Manufacturer

    This large aperture 30 millimeters f1.4 EX DC HSM lens is designed to match the APS-C size image sensors of digital SLR cameras. Two SLD glass elements are especially effective in the compensation of magnification chromatic aberration.

    The HSM models provide quiet high-speed auto-focus shooting, as well as full time manual focus. Large maximum aperture of f1.4 can perform superbly in a great range of applications, including snapshots, portraiture, indoor shooting and landscape photography.

    • Large maximum aperture of f1.4
    • The most appropriate coating for digital SLR cameras
    • Two SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass elements and an hybrid aspherical lens, provides the utmost correction for all types of aberrations
    • Equipped with HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor) system

    Note to customers: Vignetting will occur if the lens is used with digital cameras with image sensors larger than APS-C size or 35mm SLR cameras.

Great lens5
This lens is by far my best lens yet! Not to mention that it was really inexpensive compared to store prices. Definitely a must have in your lens collection!

Excellent alternative to what Nikon doesn't even have.4
This is an excellent lens with very sharp optics. Bokeh is matter of personal taste but, I have that I really like the bokeh from this lens. Besides the cons I've written, I like everything about this lens:
Cons:
can used only in cropped sensor camera.
Min aperture is f16. Sometimes I want f22
It doesn't focus fast as some of my AF-S (pro level) lens

Until Nikon comes out with fast WA, I guess I will be using this one for while.

Great lens. No qualms with it.5
Bought this for my Nikon D40. Very fast, sharp wide open, and perfect focal length for me for indoor shots. For the cost, its can't be a bad buy.
