Sigma's sharp APS-C portrait prime for mirrorless, part of the popular Contemporary trio.
The Sigma 56mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary launched in 2018 as the portrait prime completing Sigma's popular APS-C Contemporary trio alongside the 16mm and 30mm. Providing an 84mm equivalent at f/1.4, it delivers shallow depth of field and sharp portraits across all major mirrorless mounts.
Optical quality is excellent with sharp results from wide open and beautiful bokeh from nine rounded aperture blades. Stepping motor AF is fast and near-silent. Build is compact at 280g with quality plastic and metal construction. Part of the DC DN line designed specifically for mirrorless.
Available in Sony E, Fujifilm X, Canon EF-M, L-Mount, Micro Four Thirds, and Nikon Z mounts. Filter thread is 55mm. Each mount version is optically identical. The 16/30/56mm trio forms a popular compact prime kit covering wide-normal-portrait.
Good value used in all mounts. Check AF accuracy at f/1.4 and bokeh quality. The lens performs consistently well across copies. An outstanding portrait prime for APS-C and MFT systems.
