Sigma 56mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary (Canon RF-S) lens

Sigma's 56mm F1.4 DC DN completes Sigma's series of fast prime lenses. Very compact in size for its fast aperture, sharp detail across the entire image area and fast autofocus. The autofocus motor used is also quiet and well suited for video shooting.

The Sigma 56mm f1.4 Contemporary is designed for Canon's APS-C sensor size cameras such as the Canon R7 and R50, but the lens will also fit on full-frame cameras, for example if you intend to shoot 4K video with a crop setting.

Sigma's 56mm focal length is equivalent to about 84mm in cine format, this combined with the large F1.4 aperture allows for control over depth of field. Thanks to the rounded diaphragm blades, the area outside the depth of field is beautifully soft and the focus object stands out from the background. Sigma 56mm is therefore a top choice for portrait photography or if you want to enhance your images by controlling depth of field. In addition to fast autofocus, focus can be adjusted using the large and textured focus ring.

The Sigma 56mm has a construction of ten lens elements in six groups. It uses two aspherical lens elements and one Super Low Dispersion lens element. The lens uses a multi-layer coating to enhance contrast and reduce reflections. The bayonet is made of durable brass and is also surrounded by a rubber seal, which makes the Sigma's construction dust and weather resistant.
