This material has a thermal expansion rate similar to that of aluminium and it also has a high affinity to metal parts which contributes to high-quality product manufacturing. It also sits right between the 27mm and 33mm of what Fujifilm has offered.Īt an equivalent to 45mm in full-frame, let’s dive in and see how this lens can actually perform.Īccording to the official, the build of this lens is made out of a type of polycarbonate called “Thermally Stable Composite” (TSC). ![]() And then, Sigma comes with this 30mm focal length and this is an interesting focal length to compete with many 35mm lenses in the Fuji market. 30mm f1.4 Contemporary DC DN 30mm f1.4 Contemporary DC DNģ5mm (50mm in full-frame equivalent) is a very popular focal length among all others. 6 years later, X-mount is the latest mount in the Sigma family.
