The Sigma 56mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary Lens - Canon M-Mount is well-known for its bright f/1.4 maximum aperture, which suits working in difficult lighting conditions and provides improved control over depth of field for isolating subjects and working with selective focus techniques.

Super Multi-Layer Coating has been applied to suppress flare and ghosting in order to achieve more contrast and color accuracy when working in strong lighting conditions. The bayonet mount is constructed from brass to ensure durability and accuracy. A rubber sealing is incorporated in the mount design to render it dust- and splash-resistant.
