Does the Sigma 30mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary fit the Sony a1 II?
Yes, it mounts — both are Sony E. But the Sigma 30mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary is an APS-C lens on a full-frame Sony a1 II, so the body uses only the centre of its sensor (crop mode, lower resolution). The 30mm then frames like 45mm.

What "crop mode" means here
The Sigma 30mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary is designed to cover an APS-C sensor, and the Sony a1 II has a full-frame one. The lens mounts and works, but the body reads only the centre of its sensor to match the lens — a lower-resolution file than the Sony a1 II produces with a full-frame lens. Framing follows the crop: 30mm looks like 45mm.
If you want the Sony a1 II's full resolution, use a full-frame Sony E lens instead — all 76 of them are listed here.

FAQ
Does the Sigma 30mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary fit the Sony a1 II?
Yes. The Sigma 30mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary is a Sony E lens and the Sony a1 II is a Sony E body, so it mounts. Because the lens is APS-C and the body is full-frame, the Sony a1 II switches to crop mode and uses only the centre of its sensor, producing a lower-resolution file.
Will autofocus work?
We do not publish autofocus behaviour — FitMyLens stores only the specs that are fixed facts of the product (mount, focal length, maximum aperture, sensor coverage). Check the Sigma product page for AF support on the Sony a1 II.
What focal length will I actually get?
45mm equivalent. In crop mode the Sony a1 II reads an APS-C-sized area, so the 30mm frames like a 1.5× longer lens.
