From the manufacturer

Compact, lightweight and remarkable image quality― a mid-tele lens for APS-C mirrorless

Sigma 56mm EOS M Canon Sony E MFT new

Captured with the SIGMA 56mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary lens in EF-M mount by Filly Bonito-Brook

Offering an opportunity to experience the fun of shooting wide open, with F1.4 brightness

The first of the series is the standard lens 30mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary, and the second is the wide-angle lens 16mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary. The third addition is this smallest mid-tele lens in its class, 56mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary. While retaining the compact, lightweight, and outstanding image quality concepts of the Contemporary line, thanks to SIGMA’s leading-edge technology, this lens provides the amount of bokeh and admirable brightness expected from F1.4 lenses even in the mid-tele range. This addition completes the large aperture series comprised of portable wide-angle, standard, and telephoto lenses.

Diffraction MTF

There are two types of MTF chart. One considers the diffraction quality of light, which is called “Diffraction MTF”, and the other, “Geometrical MTF” does not.

The quality of light appears in the diffracted light, and becomes more distinct as the F value gets bigger, resulting in lower image quality. Also, diffracted light exists at every aperture, which is why SIGMA has been releasing Diffraction MTF data from the beginning since it is very close to the actual image data.

The readings at 10 lines per millimeter measure the lens’s contrast ability (red lines), repeating fine parallel lines spaced at 30 lines per millimeter measure the lens’s sharpness ability (green lines), when the aperture is wide open.

Geometrical MTF

The advantage of using “Geometric MTF” data is that it is easy to measure and calculate since it does not consider the diffraction quality of light, yet it tends to show higher values in the graph than actual images.

The readings at 10 lines per millimeter measure the lens’s contrast ability (red lines), repeating fine parallel lines spaced at 30 lines per millimeter measure the lens’s sharpness ability (green lines), when the aperture is wide open.

*The lens hood cuts harmful rays that can negatively affect photographs while also minimizing reflectivity within the hood itself. The hood also features a rubber construction and a non-slip groove to make it easy to hold in a variety of shooting situations.

Made in Japan

All Sigma products, lenses, cameras and flash units are manufactured exclusively by Sigma in Sigma’s own factory in Aizu, Japan. No Sigma Corporation product – lens, camera or flash – is manufactured outside of Japan. This is very unusual these days, as most companies have at least some of their products produced outside of Japan because of cost considerations.

There's a reason why SIGMA continues to insist on the very highest quality in its product manufacturing: our love of photography is second to none.

We deeply appreciate the photographer's desire to record and express—the passion of the photographer

    The 42.5 Nocitron Killer
    What can I say about this lens... well it's metal, weather sealed, and sharp as hell. Even at 1.4 it is sharp all the way across with basically no vignetting on the sides. I could have paid $1000 for this lens and been happy as a clam. All I can say is BUY THIS LENS. I shot the ring pics at 1.4 on my GH5. The video is even sharper. The colors are so pleasing and the contrast is great. The AF was spot on once I got used to backing up, I am used to macro. All around this lens is a master piece. For video the IS was great. Almost gimbal smooth but that was with my camera 5 axis. The focus ring is nice and smooth and made of rubber that almost feels like the metal on the lens but it is easier to grip especially when wet. If you look close you can clearly see me taking the picture in the models eye.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Tricky focal length/fantastic lens!
    Reviewed in Canada on July 24, 2023
    This is, hands down, the sharpest and best image quality lens that I have ever owned. I have shot the Panny 35-100mm (good), the 12-60 kit (good), the 12-60 pro (very good), a myriad of Olympus non highend lenses, and also the Panny 8-18mm (very good), but none renders like the Sigma 56mm.

    I'm shooting with a G9 and the Sigma 56mm is the only reason I'm not selling the G9. I do want to go full frame but I'm not into the expense as I do this for fun and it brings me great joy. It's a real part of getting through life. Even if I'm more of a hunter/stumble upon/take tons of shots, shooter, I love the feeling of freezing time, capturing sites that light me up. That adds great value to any time I go out for a walk with a camera.

    Back to the Sigma 56mm, not being a portrait shooter, for landscape, some images land in no man's land.... aspects too far away or too close, lol, but if you know how to use it or like me, experiment, you will get some amazing images. I have been getting my best (and favorite) images since getting this lens that I got here at Amazon. It was at a 10% discount in June 2023 but regardless, for what you pay, this lens is spectacular. Even in lower light, it may hunt a bit but when you hit it... SHAZAM!!

    Seriously, look into this lens if you can foresee this focal length working for you. I hear it's even better than the allstar Olympus 75mm. I love it!
