Sigma 56mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary Lens for Sony E-Mount Cameras Bundle

The Sigma 56mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary Lens smallest mid-tele lens in its class with a large aperture of f/1.4 offering an opportunity to experience the fun of shooting wide open. While retaining the compact, lightweight, and outstanding image quality concepts of the Contemporary line, thanks to Sigma’s leading-edge technology, this lens provides the amount of bokeh and admirable brightness expected from f/1.4 lenses even in the mid-tele range. This addition completes the large aperture series comprised of portable wide-angle, standard, and telephoto lenses.

Compact and Lightweight Design

The Sigma 56mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary Lens is a mid-tele lens specially designed for APS-C mirrorless Sony E mount cameras. It delivers smooth autofocus that is ideal for video shooting. A compactness and lightweight construction combined with superb image quality is achieved. The mount with dust- and splash-proof design with rubber sealing minimizes flare and ghosting.

Impressive Construction

The Sigma Contemporary Lens features impressively compact construction with image quality rivaling Sigma's Art line. To achieve such a compact construction, lens design is considered based on the capabilities of the camera body function to correct peripheral light amount and distortion. Moreover, axial color aberration, which is difficult to eliminate by image processing, is efficiently corrected by incorporating an SLD glass element.

Stepping Motor

The combination of optical design for video AF and use of the stepping motor enables smooth and quiet autofocus. This lens is also compatible with the Sony E-mount Fast Hybrid AF, achieving precise AF tracking. By using the face recognition or eye AF functions of cameras, focus will continuously be on the face or the eye even if the subject moves during the shoot.

Optimal Performance

This lens is designed for optimal performance on cameras with APS-C image sensors. When this DC lens is used with a camera with a full-frame image sensor, vignetting will occur. Photographers are advised to adjust image area settings for optimal image results. The lens delivers optimum performance on cameras with a short flange back distance. Its compact and lightweight body is perfect for daily use, capable of capturing various scenes ranging from portraits to snapshots, as well as night view.
