  • The Sigma 56mm f1.4 DC DN Contemporary is a high quality compact lens that reminds you why APSC and smaller formats are still very relevant in a World increasingly obsessed with full-frame. Available in Sony e and Micro Four Thirds mounts, the Sigma 56mm...

  • With the 56mm f/1.4 DC DN | C, Sigma has produced a very appealing compact prime lens for Micro Four Thirds and Sony E-mount users. The nature of its size means that it doesnt dwarf small mirrorless cameras and those who are after a fast prime thats nei...

  • Abstract:  Interchangeable lens cameras offer a lot more creative flexibility and control than smartphones and point-and-shoots. Buying a camera with swappable lenses lets you change your angle of view, and take advantage of speciality optics for macro and fish-eye...

  • Abstract:  When you're buying a camera with interchangeable lenses, you're also buying into a lens system. For many, that means optics from the same manufacturer as your camera, supplemented via third parties. The L-Mount mirrorless system is a bit different-while i...

  • Abstract:  Cameras that can swap out lenses, like those in Sony's mirrorless system, don't work with just any lens. You'll need to shop for one that's made for your camera. If you opt for the Sony system, you'll benefit from a very long history, and with a decade's...

  • Légèreté, Compacité, Grande ouverture f/1,4, Autofocus silencieux, Qualité de fabrication, Faible vignettage, Pas de distorsion, Bonne qualité d'image
  • Pas de sélecteur MF/AF, Bague de mise au point trop fluide, Pas de stabilisation, Manque de piqué sur les bords à pleine ouverture
  • C'est un bel objectif que signe ici Sigma pour sa gamme DN. L'autofocus silencieux et doux rend ce 56mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary agréable à utiliser, tandis que sa très grande ouverture permet de jouer sur les faibles profondeurs de champ. Sa qualité opti...

  • Kompakte Abmessungen, Schneller, leiser Autofokus, Fast keine optischen Fehler, Gutes, für Porträts geeignetes Bokeh, Hohe Auflösung ab F2 im Bildzentrum, ab F4 auch am Bildrand
  • Starkes Fokusatmen, Leichte Zwiebelringe in unscharfen Spitzlichtern, Leichter Kontrastverlust im Gegenlicht
  • Mit 430 Euro UVP ist das Sigma 56 mm F1.4 DC DN Contemporary angesichts der Lichtstärke überraschend preisgünstig. Obendrei ist es sehr kompakt, bietet aber lediglich ein Kunststoffgehäuse, auch wenn dieses hochwertig verarbeitet ist. Auch bei der Ausstat...

  • Fijne beeldkwaliteit, Compact en licht
  • Geen fysieke knoppen
  • Natuurlijk is het afhankelijk van je onderwerp of de keuze voor F 1,4 goed uitpakt, want de scherpte loopt snel weg in onscherpte. Die onscherpte is mooi rustig, maar toch interessant om naar te kijken. Ook de bokeh is prachtig. Dat maakt deze Sigma 56mm...
