The third member of the F1.4 series after the 30mm and 16mm lenses
The smallest medium telephoto lens in its class*
The first in the series is the standard 30mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary lens and the second
is the wide-angle 16mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary lens. The third member is now this
smallest medium telephoto lens in its class: the 56mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary. Like the other lenses in the Contemporary product line, this lens is compact, lightweight and yet offers exceptional image quality. Thanks to SIGMA's groundbreaking technologies, this lens offers the level of bokeh and excellent speed that can be expected from F1.4 lenses in the medium telephoto range. This lens completes the fast series, which now consists of portable wide-angle, standard
and telephoto Lens.
*The smallest in its class among F1.4 medium telephoto Lens for mirrorless APS-C cameras.
About the lens designation
SIGMA lenses with the designation "DC" are high-performance lenses that have been specially developed for digital cameras with image sensors up to APS-C format. Vignetting occurs when used on cameras with larger sensors. In this case, photographers are recommended to adapt the sensor format for optimum image results as far as the camera allows.
SIGMA lenses with the "DN" designation are designed to provide outstanding performance on mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras with a short flange focal length.
1.Impressively compact design with an image quality that rivals SIGMA's Art product line.
To achieve such a compact design, the lens construction has been adapted to the
capabilities of the camera function in order to correct vignetting and distortion
in the best possible way. In addition, axial chromatic aberrations, which are difficult to correct during image processing, are efficiently corrected through the use of an SLD glass element. This Lens impresses with its compact and lightweight design combined with outstanding image quality.
2.F1.4 AF lenses for mirrorless cameras with APS-C format sensors
The Lens benefits from an F1.4 aperture to deliver effective bokeh and
amazing brightness even on APS-C format cameras, which tend to have a
less pronounced bokeh compared to full-frame systems. The compact and lightweight
body is perfect for everyday use and shooting a
wide variety of scenes - from portraits to snapshots and night shots.
3.Smooth AF for video recording
The combination of an optical setup for AF video recording with the use of a stepper motor enables smooth and quiet autofocus. Using the face detection or eye AF functions of the cameras, the focus remains continuously on
the face or eye, even if the subject moves during shooting.
Lens features:
DG lenses
SIGMA's DG lenses are designed for demanding use on digital cameras with sensors up to 24x36mm format (colloquially known as full format). By using state-of-the-art coating processes, ghost images caused by reflections on the sensor surface are successfully eliminated and at the same time a balanced color balance and outstanding optical performance are achieved.
As these lenses also illuminate the analog film format 24x36mm, their use on some suitable analog cameras is also possible, although we would ask you to contact us in individual cases.
DN Lens
High-performance lenses developed exclusively for mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras. The latest technology in lens development ensures high optical performance, a compact design and quiet autofocus. The outstanding telecentricity guarantees sharp and high-resolution image quality across the entire image plane.
