[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 443732, member: 13090"] I'm going to say yes to that but read on... I put not one, but two, of those very lenses on my D7100 and I loved the focal length. It felt like it was just about tailor made for the D7100 (which I still have) and I'd still like to have one those Sigma 30mm's for it to this day. Problem was, neither copy I had would auto-focus correctly using anything but the center focus point. I sent the first one back for an exchange, and the second one, though better was still horribly off; and I mean HORRIBLY. Again, use the center focus point and everything was ducky... Move away from the center focus point and everything went to hell. Which sucked HARD because 30mm on a DX camera was rockin' my world and the two Sigma Art lenses I have now are just fantastic. So... Do I suggest you try one? I do. I feel confident my experience was atypical. Both of my 30mm lenses came from the same vendor and I suspect I got two lenses from the same batch. Not too mention this was some time ago. To be on the safe side, though, I might suggest you buy from somewhere like B&H, Adorama or Amazon... Places with generous and no-hassle return policies just in case it turns out my experience was NOT atypical. [/QUOTE]
