Be at the forefront of photography with the Sigma 56mm f/ 1.4 DC DN Contemporary Lens for Leica L. This lens is the smallest mid-telephoto lens in its class, expertly designed to retain the compact, lightweight, and superior image quality that the Contemporary line is renowned for. Leveraging Sigma's cutting-edge technology, this lens delivers the level of bokeh and exceptional brightness you'd expect from an F 1.4 lens, even in the mid-telephoto range. This lens is a crucial addition to the large aperture series, which includes portable wide-angle, standard, and telephoto lenses.
Despite its impressively compact construction, the image quality rivals that of Sigma's esteemed Art line. The lens design takes into account the camera body's ability to correct peripheral light amount and distortion, ensuring optimal performance. The Sigma 56mm f/ 1.4 DC DN Contemporary Lens also efficiently corrects axial color aberration, a challenge often difficult to overcome with image processing, by incorporating an SLD glass element. This results in a lens that combines compactness and lightweight construction with superior image quality. Designed for APS-C Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras, this lens benefits from an open aperture of F 1.4.
This allows for a sufficient amount of bokeh and admirable brightness, even with APS-C size cameras, which typically have smaller bokeh effects compared to 35mm full-size systems. Its compact and lightweight body is perfect for daily use, adept at capturing a variety of scenes, from portraits to snapshots, as well as night views. The lens also features a smooth AF system, ideal for video shooting. The combination of optical design for video AF and the use of a stepping motor ensures smooth and quiet autofocus. This lens is compatible with the Sony E-mount Fast Hybrid AF, achieving precise AF tracking.
When using the face recognition or eye AF functions of cameras, focus will continuously be on the face or the eye, even if the subject moves during the shoot. Additional features of this lens include a mount with a dust- and splash-proof design with rubber sealing, a high-precision, rugged brass bayonet mount, and a 9-blade rounded diaphragm. The lens is designed to minimize flare and ghosting and is evaluated with Sigma's own
MTF measuring system: A1. This lens, crafted with "Made in Japan" craftsmanship, is also available for Mount Conversion Service. In addition to the lens, this bundle includes a ProOptic 55mm filter kit, lens cleaner, cleaning kit, lens cap tether, and Mac software kit, providing you with everything you need for professional photography.
