## 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.
