Product Description
The Sigma 56mm f/1.4 DC DN is a sleek portrait-length prime lens from the Contemporary series, designed for Canon RF-M-mount mirrorless cameras. Its bright f/1.4 maximum aperture excels in low-light conditions and provides excellent depth-of-field control, making it ideal for isolating subjects and using selective focus techniques. The lens features an advanced optical design, including two aspherical elements and one special low dispersion (SLD) element, which work together to minimize spherical and chromatic aberrations for sharp, clear images. A super multilayer coating enhances contrast and color accuracy by suppressing flare and ghosting, even in strong lighting.
This lens is equipped with a stepping AF motor for fast, precise, and quiet autofocus, making it suitable for both still photography and video. Part of Sigma’s Contemporary line, it balances optical performance with a compact, lightweight design for versatile handling.
