The Sigma 56mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary is a portrait-length prime for APS-C Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras. Its bright f/1.4 aperture lets in plenty of light and gives shallow depth of field for isolating subjects. Two aspherical elements and one SLD element plus Super Multi-Layer Coating keep images sharp and contrasty, and the stepping motor focuses quickly and near-silently for photos and video. It suits portrait, event and low-light shooters who want a fast, compact prime without the bulk of a full-frame lens.

Owners of the Sigma 56mm f/1.4 DC DN generally praise its sharpness wide open, smooth background blur and quiet autofocus, and many call it one of the best portrait primes for APS-C Sony bodies. Some note the lack of stabilization and the fixed focal length as limits.
The Sigma 56mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary is a portrait-length prime lens for APS-C-format Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras. Its 56mm focal length gives an 84mm equivalent field of view in 35mm terms. The f/1.4 maximum aperture suits difficult lighting and gives more control over depth of field, for isolating subjects and working with selective focus.
The optical design uses two aspherical elements and one SLD element to reduce spherical and chromatic aberrations. A Super Multi-Layer Coating suppresses flare and ghosting, which helps maintain contrast and color accuracy in strong lighting. The diaphragm has nine rounded blades, and the construction is weather-sealed.
A stepping AF motor drives autofocus. It is quick, precise and near-silent, which suits both photo and video work.
