An especially sleek portrait-length prime, the 56mm f/1.4 DC DN is part of Sigma's Contemporary series of lenses, and is designed for use with Micro Four Thirds mirrorless cameras.
The lens is characterized by its bright f/1.4 maximum aperture, which suits working in difficult lighting conditions and also offers improved control over depth of field for isolating subjects and working with selective focus techniques.
The optical design utilizes two aspherical elements and one SLD element, which help to reduce both spherical and chromatic aberrations for greater sharpness and clarity.
A Super Multi-Layer Coating has also been applied to suppress flare and ghosting in order to achieve more contrast and colour accuracy when working in strong lighting conditions. Complementing the optics is a stepping AF motor, which suits both photo and video applications due to its quick, precise, and near-silent performance.
The first of the series is the standard lens 30mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary and the second is the wide-angle lens 16mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary. The third addition is this smallest mid-telephoto lens in its class, 56mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary.
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-telephoto range. This addition completes the large aperture series comprised of portable wide-angle, standard, and telephoto lenses.
