That's quite a discount on the 30mm Nikon lens.

The Sigma 30mm f/1.4 lens for Nikon is (APS-C) made for crop sensor cameras and will reduce the effective sensor of a full frame camera by a factor of 1.5
And also this 30mm lens will be effective as 1.5 time (45mm) on a full frame camera.

The 40mm f1.4 for Sony is one of the sharpest lenses I've ever used. I got one for $799 and thought it was a steal. At this price it's a no brainer. Plus it doubles as a weapon due to size and weight

You're right about using less of the sensor when using an APS-C lens on a full-frame body, but FYI I bought the 56/1.4 for Sony as an inexpensive way to get a high quality 1.4 ... on my body it shoots at around 20mp and that's just fine for my need at that focal length.

Leica mount owners for the win. Guess it must be a pretty limited user base.

Don't quote me, but that L mount may work on some Panasonics as well

The 40 mm is crazy sharp. Too bad there is no 105.

I remember reading somewhere that it's because it's not a native Sony lens, but they have a built-in converter that they applied to their (I want to say) Canon 40mm f/1.4 lens. Not sure if there's any truth to that, but the rumors were that it would be deprecated in favor of a more compact version that is designed for the Sony mount. May be worth doing some research before pulling the trigger, if size/weight matter to you.

Yesterday's Rokinon 24mm 1. 8 at $350 is a much better deal to me. sigma has a much better looking though.
