Sigma 56mm F1.4 DC DN Contemporary - Fuji X

Sigma 56mm F1.4 DC DN Contemporary for Fujifilm X arrives as a compact, fast portrait telephoto designed for mirrorless interchangeable-lens cameras, delivering bright optics from its F1.4 maximum aperture.

This 56 mm prime lens offers a classic short-telephoto perspective ideal for portraits and subject isolation, with an aperture range of F1.4 to F16 that lets you control depth of field and exposure precisely.

The optical construction comprises 10 elements in 6 groups, engineered to provide sharp images with attractive rendering. A nine‑blade diaphragm contributes to smooth, pleasing bokeh when shooting wide open.

With a closest focusing distance of 0.5 m and a 28.5° angle of view, the Sigma 56mm F1.4 is well suited to headshots, environmental portraits, and detail work. The fixed focal length encourages thoughtful composition and consistent image quality.

Physically the lens is compact and lightweight, measuring 59.5 mm in length, 6.65 cm in diameter, weighing just 280 g, and finished in black. It accepts 55 mm filters and mounts directly to Fujifilm X cameras via the Fujifilm X mount interface.

Typical use cases include portrait sessions in natural light, low-light event photography where the fast F1.4 helps maintain low ISO, and creative shallow depth-of-field work for product and editorial shoots.

Key selling points are its bright F1.4 aperture, compact Contemporary-series design, robust optical formula (10/6 elements/groups), and excellent portability for location and travel photographers.
