Portrait prime for Micro Four Thirds

The SIGMA 56mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary lens is built for Micro Four Thirds mirrorless cameras. It delivers an 89.6 mm equivalent focal length that suits portrait and low-light work. The bright f/1.4 aperture gives shallow depth of field and strong performance in dim conditions. Photographers who want a compact prime for subject isolation will find it fits the role.

Mount and format fit

This lens uses the Micro Four Thirds mount and covers the APS-C image circle as designed by Sigma. It attaches directly to any compatible body without an adapter. The autofocus motor works with the camera's focus system for stills and video. Builders using other lens mounts or full-frame sensors cannot use this optic natively.

Aperture headroom and limits

The f/1.4 maximum aperture provides significant light-gathering headroom for indoor and evening shooting. Stopping down sharpens the plane of focus when more depth is needed. The fixed 56mm focal length means framing changes require physical movement. Photographers who need zoom flexibility or wider angles must choose a different lens.
