The lens is characterized by its bright f\/1.4 maximum aperture, which suits working in difficult lighting conditions and also offers improved control over depth of field for isolating subjects and working with selective focus techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"mText\"\u003eThe optical design utilizes two aspherical elements and one SLD element, which help to reduce both spherical and chromatic aberrations for greater sharpness and clarity. A Super Multi-Layer Coating has also been applied to suppress flare and ghosting in order to achieve more contrast and colour accuracy when working in strong lighting conditions. Complementing the optics is a stepping AF motor, which suits both photo and video applications due to its quick, precise, and near-silent performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h2Lit\"\u003eKey Features of the Sigma 56mm f1.4 DC DN Contemporary Lens for L-Mount\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned to achieve a balance between convenience and performance.

SIGMA’s Super Multi-Layer Coating reduces flare and ghosting to help photographers produce sharp and 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h2Lit\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"h2Lit\"\u003eRounded 9-blade diaphragm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 9-blade rounded diaphragm creates an attractive blur in the out-of-focus areas of the image.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h2Lit\"\u003ePart of Sigma's high-performance Contemporary line, featuring SIGMA’s latest technologies\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile 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.
