Given a choice which lens will you get?

FYI, the Nikon one is not an AF-S lens.

Different focal length, you want something wider then go for the 30mm, especially after accounting for the crop factor on DX sensors if you want to approximate the view of a 45-55mm standard focal length. 50mm might seem longer in that respect.

That depends very much on the scope of usage. Given that the 30 f/1.4 is a DC lens, I would assume usage is on a 1.5x camera, which means I'd pick the 30 f/1.4 for general purpose, or the 50 f/1.4 for portraiture.

30mm f1.4 for more options.

considering to get the sigma 30 1.4 for my crop slr body.

we don't really know the quality of the new nikon 50m yet.
but it's nikon afterall so it can't be that bad.

Depends on what I want to use it for and whether on FX or DX.

Sigma 30mm IMO.
Getting a cheap 50mm f1.8 to play around with should be a good alternative too if u need that focal length??

On a D300 body.
