[QUOTE="POLARbear510, post: 2698961, member: 907474"] Hi. I'm considering buying a Sigma 30mm 1.4 EX DC HSM for my Canon 550D/Rebel t2i. I just want to know if the Sigma 30mm would be the same 30mm as if it would be on a Canon 18-55mm kit lens (meaning, if I set the zoom at around 30mm, would it be as wide) ? I have a Canon 50mm 1.8 and I LOVE the shallow depth of field and it's ability to capture low light photos/videos. The only problem is that it's more of a portrait lens. For example, I need to be very far from the subject if I wanted a wide-angle shot while using the Canon 50mm. I want something wider with the same ability, which is why I'm considering buying the Sigma 30mm 1.4. I've read in different forums and I've gotten confused because I have a crop sensor camera. It supposedly would result the 30mm would actually be equivalent to a 50mm. I don't want to buy the same lens. Would the Sigma 30mm be wider than the Canon 50mm on my camera? Any recommendations for a wide angle, low light capability and shallow depth of field? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
