Sigma 30mm F1,4 DPR samples gallery

This lens looks very nice.

Looking at the town scenes:

F1,4: sharp in the centre, soft near the borders and strong chromatic aberrations.

F2,0: much better borders and much less aberrations

F2,8: very good from border to border

What do you think?

I'd say that's some heavy purple fringing. And I think it's the main cause of softness wide open. It kinda looks a bit "glowy" to me. I really wonder how that will look like on MFT bodies, Olympus in particular.

So on 4/3 sensor, it should be very good from corner to corner. Fortunately, there's a lot less purple here, but it's still there if you look closely.

F2,8: very good from border to border

Indeed, nothing to complain about here, this is very good performance.

Would be nice to see some sample photos taken on a sunny day.
