Sigma Micro Four Thirds Mount>56mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary Lens for Micro Four Thirds

Sigma 56mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary

The Sigma 56mm f/1.4 DC DN is part of the Contemporary series of lenses, designed for use with Micro Four Thirds mirrorless cameras. This portrait-length prime offers a bright f/1.4 maximum aperture, ideal for shooting in difficult lighting conditions and for creating a shallow depth of field. The optical design includes two aspherical elements and one SLD element, which help to reduce spherical and chromatic aberrations for greater sharpness and clarity. A super multilayer coating has been applied to reduce flare and ghosting, resulting in more contrast and colour accuracy in strong lighting. The stepping AF motor is perfect for both photography and video, providing quick, precise and near-silent performance.

• As part of the Contemporary line within Sigma’s Global Vision series, this lens is designed to achieve a balance between convenience and performance, and meshes a compact, lightweight build and versatile handling with notable optical attributes.
• Portrait-length prime is designed for Micro Four Thirds mirrorless cameras and provides a 112mm equivalent focal length.
• Bright f/1.4 maximum aperture excels in low-light conditions and also affords increased control over depth of field for achieving selective focus effects.
• One special low dispersion (SLD) element reduces colour fringing and chromatic aberrations in order to achieve greater clarity and colour accuracy.
• Two aspherical elements are used to limit distortion and spherical aberrations and also contribute to greater overall sharpness and accurate rendering.
• A super multilayered coating has been applied to lens elements in order to minimize lens flare and ghosting and contribute to producing contrast-rich and colour-neutral imagery, even in backlit conditions.
• A stepping AF motor benefits both photographers and videographers with its fast, precise, and near-silent performance.
• Rounded nine-blade diaphragm contributes to a smooth and pleasing bokeh quality.
• The bayonet mount is constructed from brass to ensure accuracy and durability. Additionally, rubber sealing is incorporated in the mount design to render it dust and splash resistant.
