The Sigma 56mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary is a portrait-length prime for APS-C Sony E-mount cameras, giving roughly an 84mm equivalent field of view. Its f/1.4 maximum aperture is the headline: it gathers plenty of light and lets you isolate subjects with shallow depth of field, which most kit zooms and slower primes cannot do. Two aspherical elements and one SLD element plus a Super Multi-Layer Coating keep aberrations and flare in check, and the stepping motor focuses quickly and near-silently for both stills and video. It is small and light for its speed, making it a strong low-light portrait and event lens for crop-sensor Sony bodies.
