## Description

Sigma 56mm F/1.4 DC DN Contemporary Lens for E-Mount Mirrorless Cameras (APS-C Format, Black) : desertcart.in: Electronics

Review: The go-to APSC portrait lens - Amazing lens. If one did their research, they’d know that this is the one and only go-to and budget portrait lens for APSC right now. I won’t write about the features here as it’s all there on multiple YT videos. I’m instead going to focus on who should get it and why one should get it over/along the kit lens – because I’m not a professional and have spent quite some time wondering whether I should shell my money on extra lenses as an enthusiast. Who: Doesn’t matter if you’re a professional or an enthusiast. If you take a lot of portraits, or like street photography, or mostly go out shooting in evening/low-light conditions, go for this lens. Why: 1. If you’ve spent your money on expensive cameras like a6400/a6600, you’re not doing them enough justice with the kit lens. I have the 18-135 kit lens and although it’s an amazing all-rounder, it just falls short in certain areas. Kit/zoom lenses are engineered to accommodate a range of focal lengths and that is achieved with some trade offs like vignettes, softness over the higher focal lengths, significant barrel distortions at the narrow and wide end, etc. 2. The F1.4 aperture of Sigma is wide enough for low-light photography and beautiful portraits with good subject separation. If you’re pulling your camera out at an event, those pictures better be good :) Cons: 1. There is a slight barrel distortion but it’s a little trade off for what this lens has to offer at this price. 2. Focal length difficult to work with in tight spaces like rooms, etc. — I have attached full/cropped pictures for side by side comparison of images taken on the sigma and the kit lens to give a perspective on the differences. The pictures have been taken at minimum focal distance possible and I’ve tried to keep the images similar for better comparison. Update (after few months of use) ———— In love with this lens! I must admit that it’s a little difficult to work with in tight spaces (indoors in general) but I keep finding my self reaching out for this instead of the kit lens whenever I’m heading out. This one’s a no brainier for portraits, food, and objects in general given you have a little space to shuffle around. It’s even good for street photography if you want to keep a safe distance from subjects and don’t want to stick your camera into people’s faces. Attached few more pictures from the lens.
Review: Impeccable performance - Best lens you can buy for Sony A6XXX cameras. It's so sharp that I had to take away the sharpness and clarity in Lightroom. 10/10 price to performance. You can't get a better quality lens than this at this price point

## Questions & Answers

**Q: would anyone want to compare this with any of the other popular 50-55mm’s in the market for e-mount please**
A: This is one of the best out there. Sigma did a great job. It was compared with most 50-55mm's and it was sharper than the FF sony 50mm e for example.

**Q: is this for full frame?**
A: The other answers are correct, but incomplete. Yes, this will work on full frame cameras in APSC-crop mode, BUT you also need to use the crop factor of 1.5. Therefore, the lens will function as an 84 mm (56 x 1.5) which is probably NOT not want you want.

That also makes the description misleading and confusing. Yeah, the 56 mm "works" on full frame, but at 84 mm.

**Q: EF mount? (full frame)**
A: No, APSC e mount.

**Q: does this have oss?**
A: No you would have to go with native sony lens to oss but is a sharp portrait lens i have it on my sony 6400.

*by K***A on 9 July 2022*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Impeccable performance
*by S***H on 4 April 2025*

Best lens you can buy for Sony A6XXX cameras. It's so sharp that I had to take away the sharpness and clarity in Lightroom. 10/10 price to performance. You can't get a better quality lens than this at this price point

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very sharp even at F1.4
*by N***R on 21 January 2021*

EDIT (11-Apr-2021): Added some more sample shots I just got this yesterday so I haven't used the lens much and can't comment on every aspect of it but I've attached 2 photos of a table fan along with 100% zoom/crop of certain regions from those photos. As you can see, this lens is tack sharp, even at the widest aperture of F1.4. At F2.0, the image looks the sharpest to me but I haven't shot many photos to be able to judge this. In my sample shots, you can see every little speck of dust and tiny little cloth fibers as well. These are pretty much invisible to the naked eye unless you look really close at the thing you're shooting. The images have some barrel distortion but I could hardly notice the difference even after correcting the distortion in Lightroom, except on some images where I took pictures of geometric objects. Be sure to capture RAW or RAW+JPEG with this lens because the lens profile is embedded into the RAW files so you can correct lens distortion and chromatic aberrations with two clicks in Lightroom using the embedded profile. This is not available if you shoot only JPEGs. Speaking of chromatic aberrations, I noticed some purple fringing on the edges of object outlines on a couple of photos that I took with flash enabled. It's not too bad and Lightroom can correct it if you shoot RAW but honestly, I think the fringing just makes since images look better but that's subjective. Video autofocus is alright. Good even, but definitely not like a native Sony lens. I think my 16-50mm kit lens does better autofocus. It worked fine for me most of the times but sometimes it'll just take way too long to focus. One minor downside (for me) is that the focus ring is very smooth and because of that, while screwing the lens onto the lens mount, it'd slip and I'd have to hold the non movable parts of the lens to screw it on. It's a minor gripe and I'm sure it'll get easier the more times I do this. Another downside is that it doesn't have OSS but you knew that already. If you have steady hands, you're good. If not, just get a gimbal or a tripod. DJI Ronin SC should have gotten cheaper now. I don't have steady hands but I was still able to take sharp photos most of the time, even while focusing manually. I'm using this with a Sony A6400 and I own the Sigma 16mm F1.4 as well. They're both great lenses and the 16mm even got a firmware update that makes manually focusing a whole lot easier. I might update my review after I've used the lens more but don't count on it. Cheers! 20/10 would recommend
