Sigma 56mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary Lens
Sleek Portrait Prime for Canon RF-Mount APS-C Cameras
The Sigma 56mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary is an exceptionally compact, high-performance portrait-length prime lens engineered for Canon RF-mount mirrorless cameras. Providing an 89.6mm equivalent focal length, this lens is characterized by its ultra-bright f/1.4 maximum aperture, making it an outstanding choice for low-light shooting and isolating subjects with a shallow depth of field. As part of Sigma’s Contemporary line, it balances portable, lightweight handling with sophisticated optics, delivering razor-sharp imagery and beautiful background blur. Equipped with a fast, near-silent stepping motor, it excels in both portrait photography and professional video production.

Key Features & Engineering
Bright f/1.4 Aperture & Beautiful Bokeh: The wide f/1.4 maximum aperture excels in challenging lighting conditions and offers precise control over depth of field. Combined with a rounded nine-blade diaphragm, it renders smooth, natural out-of-focus highlights and a creamy bokeh quality.

Optimized Portrait Focal Length: Specifically tailored for APS-C-format Canon RF-mount cameras, providing a flattering 89.6mm equivalent perspective that is ideal for headshots, weddings, and street portraits.

Advanced Optical Design: Incorporates one Special Low Dispersion (SLD) element to significantly reduce color fringing and chromatic aberrations, alongside two aspherical elements to limit distortion and preserve edge-to-edge sharpness.

Super Multilayer Coating: Applied to individual elements to suppress lens flare and ghosting, maintaining high contrast and neutral color accuracy even when shooting in harsh backlit environments.

Stepping AF Motor: Delivers quick, highly precise, and nearly silent autofocus operation, ensuring seamless tracking for both photographers and videographers.

Weather-Resistant Brass Mount: Constructed with a rugged brass bayonet mount for long-term accuracy and durability. The mount features integrated rubber sealing to provide dust- and splash-resistance for shooting in unpredictable weather.
