Finally I my very own copy of the Sigma 30.

To any doubters out there the focus looks fine, nice and sharp, the olny issues I can see so far are the user (me) learning the art of wafer thin depth of field.

Here are a few photos.

The unboxing

I sold mine because I'm going to move to FF.

It was a stellar lens on crop though!

Waiting for mine now, looks great!

Does the focus ring rotate during AF?

How does the hood compare to the old version? Still crinkly or is it more like canon's hoods?

Looking for an indoor lens, is this a good choice in the price range?
