As for the 30mm f1.4, I have heard great things about it. Personally I really love Sigma. Great optics for the price. Build could be better but I have seen worse. I recently picked up a sigma ex 10-20 f3.5. Uber sharp and with f3.5 it is still somewhat usable at night hand held.
I just received my Sigma 30mm f1.4 in the mail this morning and look forward to putting it through its paces, hopefully this coming weekend!

edit: Now that I've played around with this lens for a week or so, I can honestly say that the focus is very sharp (thankfully I don't seem to have a copy that's either forward or rear-focusing!) and that the bokeh seems to be excellent. I haven't really gotten to use it in ideal situations for such a lens (ie: darkened bar/club/etc..., places like that), but it's definitely sharp, quick-focusing, and has an excellent build quality. A bargain at $289 right now!
