Offering an opportunity to experience the fun of shooting wide open with F1.4 brightness, the Sigma 56mm F1.4 DC DN Contemporary Lens for Nikon Z Mount is the smallest mid-tele lens in its class. The control algorithm, including AF drive and communication speed optimization, has been developed. In addition to realizing high-speed AF, the lens also supports AF-C (Continuous AF) and in-camera aberration correction. The mount is rubber-sealed to accommodate use in a variety of environments.

Compact and Lightweight

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.

Smooth AF Ideal for Video Shooting

The combination of the optical design for video AF and the use of the stepping motor enables smooth and quiet autofocus. By using the face recognition or eye AF functions of cameras, the focus will continuously be on the face or the eye even if the subject moves during the shoot.

High-Precision Rugged Brass Bayonet Mount

The brass mount combines high precision with rugged construction. Its treated surfaces and enhanced strength contribute to the exceptional durability of the lens.

Mount with Dust and Splash Resistant Structure

The mount features a special seal to make the lens an excellent choice in a wide variety of conditions.

Image Quality Rivals Sigma's Art Line

To achieve such a compact construction, lens design is considered based on the capabilities of the camera body function to correct peripheral light amount and distortion. Moreover, axial color aberration, which is difficult to eliminate by image processing, is efficiently corrected by incorporating an SLD glass element. A compact and lightweight construction combined with superb image quality is achieved.

Designed To Minimize Flare and Ghosting

From an early stage in the lens design process, flare and ghosting have been measured to establish an optical design resistant to strong incident light sources such as backlighting. Sigma’s Super Multi-Layer Coating reduces flare and ghosting to help photographers produce sharp, high-contrast images even in backlit conditions. The included lens hood can be attached to block out extraneous light, which can have a negative effect on rendering performance.

The Only Three F1.4 AF Lens System for APS-C Nikon Z-Mount Mirrorless Cameras

The lens benefits from an open aperture of F1.4 to achieve a sufficient amount of bokeh and admirable brightness even with APS-C size cameras, which tend to have smaller bokeh effects compared to 35mm full-size systems. Its compact and lightweight body is perfect for daily use and capable of capturing various scenes ranging from portraits to snapshots, as well as the night view.

Rounded Diaphragm

The 9-blade rounded diaphragm creates an attractive blur in the out-of-focus areas of the image.
