Expanded Sigma 56mm f1.4 DC DN Contemporary Lens Key Features:
Optical Structure
Sigma has set its benchmark of lens quality and construction at a very high level and rightly so. To build faith in a brand, you must deliver the results that are expected. To achieve that level with the Sigma 56mm f1.4 AF DC DN Contemporary Lens, Sigmas has created a lens that incorporates 10 premium lens elements arranged into 6 groups.
Within these groups, there’s 1 special low dispersion (SLD) element that reduces colour fringing and chromatic aberrations to achieve greater clarity and colour accuracy. As well as this, there are 2 aspherical elements that are used to limit distortion and spherical aberrations and result in sharper, more accurate rendering.
Reducing glare and ghosting was a top priority for Sigma. They have addressed this with excellent results meaning that your photos will not suffer should there be strong incidental light in the scene you are trying to capture. They have also added a number of multi-layer coatings that also help the reduction as well as giving the user sharper and higher-contrasted images.
Aperture Control
Another aspect of this lens that contributes to its exceptional image quality and overall performance is its wide, bright and fast maximum f1.4 aperture. This wide aperture allows this lens to excel in low light shooting conditions, as well as offering increased control of depth of field and therefore, subject-background separation. Furthermore, this aperture can produce some truly beautiful bokeh, easily rivalling Sigma's Art series lenses.
Super Smooth Autofocus
Autofocus plays its part in this lens’s overall performance. The lens uses an advanced set of stepping motors to allow for smooth and near-silent autofocus. Using this AF mechanism allows for the effective use of this lens for both photography and videography.

Sigma as a brand produce lenses for a range of different systems and this lens is no different. This lens is available in the following mounts and their 35mm full-frame equivalent focal lengths.

The Buy Now Pay Later option comprises a 36 month loan following a six month deferral period.
During the six-month deferral period, it is possible to pay off the loan, either by way of a lump sum or in smaller amounts. If the loan is partially repaid within six months, the remaining interest will be adjusted to reflect the new balance. If the loan is fully repaid within the six-month deferral period, then no interest is payable, however, a £29 early settlement fee is payable in respect of repayments within these six months.
Following the six-month deferral period, Novuna Personal Finance will initiate a monthly direct debit payment for the remaining duration of the loan. Interest will be charged at a rate of 18.9% APR (representative) on outstanding balances (backdated to the first date of the loan). Novuna Personal Finance will send a reminder letter approximately one month before the six-month deferral period is due to elapse.
