Looking great, David, like the space around him! Sharp focus, too, for 1.4, wow!

How in the world do you get both eyes in focus at 1.4? Beautiful shot and I like how you included his environment around him.

Awsome. I love that shallow depth of feild.
So is it zoom lense, or just 30mm?

its a fixed lens, 30mm. It just gives me a little more room for the framing. The 50 mm is nice , but often its tight when I shoot indoor.

thanks Lynne, yes it is hard to focus right at f/1.4. Very little movement of the head is enough and the shot is out of focus. I get a lot of those, thats the risk of shooting with so little depth of field. I just love the look so its a sacrifice I'm willing to take.

thanks Klifton, those kind of shots is what I was not able to get with the 50 indoors. I was a little concerned if 30 might not be wide enough but now that I have it I think its just perfect.

It's a perfect length...i wonder if any wider it would start to look distorted. I have a 28mm and it can look pretty fish-eye in some shots.

One thing I noticed when I started useing this lens is that I automatically moved closer to my subject to fill the frame. I'm so much used to my 50 that the 30 feels too wide at first. :)
The distortion comes in when you get too close. Trying head shots with 30 or 28 mm is not a good idea unless you use the distorion on purpose of course. I found 6-7 feet is the closest for the 30 mm lens. If I want to go tighter I use my 50 or 85. I sure would love to have a zoom 30-70 at f/1.4 but since that doesn't exist I have to live with multible lenses.

David,
Thanks again for the comment. I posted another shot of a diffent area. With my Medium Format camera.
Sigma makes does make a 24mm - 70mm and a 28mm - 70mm f/2.8 EX DG. they also make a 15mm, 20, 24, 28mm f/1.8 EX DG lenes.
Thats one of the reasons I am waiting on a full frame Digital sensor, The 1.5X factor. i.e 50mm lens on film camera = 75mm lens on digital camera.
