ABOUT THE PRODUCT
The Sigma 56mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary is a fixed prime lens designed for RF-Mount mirrorless cameras. With a 35mm equivalent focal length of 112mm, it is suited to portrait photography and selective-focus shooting. The bright f/1.4 maximum aperture supports low-light shooting and provides increased depth of field control for subject isolation. The optical design includes one SLD element and two aspherical elements to reduce chromatic and spherical aberrations. A stepping autofocus motor provides fast and near-silent autofocus performance for both still photography and video recording. The lens also features a rounded nine-blade diaphragm and weather-sealed mount construction.
