Sigma 56mm 1.4 DC DN Canon EF-M

Like the other lenses in the Contemporary product line, this lens is compact, lightweight, and yet has exceptional image quality. Thanks to Sigma's breakthrough technologies, this lens offers exactly the level of bokeh and superb speed that can be expected from F1.4 lenses in the mid-telephoto range. This lens completes the fast series, which now consists of portable wide-angle, standard, and telephoto lenses.

The lens designation

Sigma Lenses with the "DC" designation are high-performance lenses designed specifically for digital cameras with shooting sensors up to APS-C format. When used on cameras with larger sensors, vignetting will occur. In this case, photographers are advised to adjust the sensor format for optimal image results, as far as the camera allows. Sigma Lenses with the "DN" designation are designed to provide superior performance on mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras with a short flange focal length.

Impressively compact design with image quality that rivals the Art line of Sigma Rivals.

To achieve such a compact design, the lens construction has been matched to the camera's capabilities to best correct vignetting and distortion. In addition, axial chromatic aberrations, which are difficult to correct during image processing, are efficiently corrected through the use of an SLD glass element. This lens features a compact and lightweight design combined with outstanding image quality.

The lens benefits from an F1.4 open aperture to deliver effective bokeh and amazing brightness even on APS-C format cameras, which tend to have more unpronounced bokeh compared to full-frame systems. The compact and lightweight body is perfect for everyday use and shooting a wide variety of scenes - from portraits to candid shots to night photography.

Smooth AF for video recording

Combining an optical setup for AF video shooting with the use of a stepper motor enables smooth and quiet autofocus.
