rittenhouses Offline • Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #1 · need a new lens to replace the sigma 30mm 1.4 i got a full frame and didnt realize my Sigma 30mm f/1.4, wouldnt work with a full frame till i took the picture.. GRR hate the vignetting! so what lens would you recommend to replace it? i love the quality of the images the 30 mm puts out so i am very frustrated with this lens which is not exactly cheap, doesnt work with a full frame. so something similar in price and quality and prime, low focal length 28-35mm?... any suggestions? TIA! ~Sarah Edited on Jan 09, 2013 at 11:31 PM · View previous versions Jan 09, 2013 at 11:29 PM

Dudewithoutape Offline • • • Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #3 · need a new lens to replace the sigma 30mm 1.4 Sell or trade for the FF equivalent, the Sigma 50mm 1.4. People have posted focus issues, but they did the same for the 30mm, which I won the gamble on. I bought a 50mm recently on the B&S forum, came in yesterday, haven't had a chance to check it out. It was $330 shipped, but I found a few locally for $300-350 as well on CL. Just make sure to check it out and try to get the receipt for possibly adjustments or warranty. Or buy new, they have sales where it'll be in the ~$380 range. We're telling you about the 50mm 1.4, because when you were shooting crop, it was 30mm x 1.6 crop = 48mm in FF. On FF, the 50mm will have the same FOV Edited on Jan 09, 2013 at 11:35 PM · View previous versions Jan 09, 2013 at 11:31 PM

rittenhouses Offline • Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #5 · need a new lens to replace the sigma 30mm 1.4 i have tried the 50mm and find the length a little long for me. Jan 09, 2013 at 11:33 PM

Ian.Dobinson Offline • • • • • • Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #6 · need a new lens to replace the sigma 30mm 1.4 Well it is a crop Lens . DC sigma lenses are crop only . Now for your replacement. The 30 on a crop very close to a 50 on a FF body . So the natural replacement would any of the 50's Sigma do a 50/1.4 which is very good as long as you get one that focuses well Jan 09, 2013 at 11:33 PM

That makes no sense. What did you try the 50 on? Crop or ff? 30x1.6=48mm If you want a tad wider then the 40/2.8 STM looks a dam nice little lens. Jan 09, 2013 at 11:37 PM

rittenhouses Offline • Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #10 · need a new lens to replace the sigma 30mm 1.4 so if i were to do a trade in for the 50, where would i do this? would it have to be somewhere local or can i do this online somewhere? tia Jan 09, 2013 at 11:52 PM

RogerC11 Offline • • • • Upload & Sell: On p.1 #11 · need a new lens to replace the sigma 30mm 1.4 I think you should get the Sigma 35mm 1.4! Jan 09, 2013 at 11:58 PM

You can probably sell your used 30mm 1.4 and buy a used 50mm 1.4 at 0 loss. If you're patient, you may be able to make some money in fact. You can sell to established people here in the B&S (~$25 one year subscription) or try locally (CL, FB, etc) or the dreaded eBay with fees and what not.
