Sigma 56mm f/1.4 DC DN Contmporary Lens for Micro Four Thirds W/FREE Mac ACC Kit

When seeking the pinnacle of mid-telephoto lens performance for Micro Four Thirds cameras, the Sigma 56mm f/ 1.4 DC DN Contemporary Lens stands out as the smallest and most refined option in its class. Engineered with Sigma's cutting-edge technology, this lens delivers the exquisite bokeh and luminous brightness that photographers expect from a prime lens with an f/ 1.4 aperture, even within the mid-tele range. This lens is a critical component of the comprehensive large aperture series, which includes high-performance wide-angle, standard, and telephoto lenses, all designed for portability without compromising on image quality.

The Sigma 56mm f/ 1.4 lens is a testament to professional-grade optics, offering a level of image quality that rivals Sigma's esteemed Art line. To ensure a balance between size and performance, the lens construction has been meticulously optimized, taking into account the camera body's ability to correct for peripheral illumination and distortion. The inclusion of an SLD glass element is a strategic choice, effectively minimizing axial chromatic aberration, a common issue that is challenging to address through post-processing. This results in a lens that marries the benefits of compactness and lightweight design with uncompromising image clarity and detail.

Designed with APS-C Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras in mind, the lens leverages its f/ 1.4 aperture to produce a pleasing bokeh effect and maintain exceptional brightness, even on cameras with smaller sensors that typically yield less pronounced bokeh compared to full-frame systems. Its svelte profile makes it an ideal companion for everyday photography, adept at capturing a diverse array of subjects from intimate portraits to spontaneous snapshots and atmospheric night scenes. Videographers will appreciate the smooth and silent autofocus performance, courtesy of an optical design optimized for video AF and the integration of a stepping motor.

The lens's compatibility with Sony E-mount Fast Hybrid AF systems ensures accurate and persistent autofocus tracking. When paired with cameras equipped with face recognition or eye AF capabilities, the lens maintains sharp focus on the subject's face or eyes, even when they are in motion, making it an excellent choice for dynamic video shoots.
