A Creative Focal Length with Excellent Usability

Featuring a wide F1.4 aperture, the lens allows you to create stunning portraits with beautiful bokeh effects, even in low light conditions. The lens also uses high-quality SLD and aspherical glass elements to minimize flare and ghosting in back-lit environments. Weighing only 340g, the lens can be mounted on compact mirrorless bodies for the perfect photography tool for travel and street photography.

Designed Exclusively for APS-C Mirrorless Cameras

The lens has been designed exclusively for APS-C mirrorless cameras, resulting in a compact, lightweight body weighing just 340g*. It also features a quiet, high-speed stepping motor that can lock onto subjects quickly and can be used with AF modes such as focus tracking and eye detection. Use the large focus ring to fine-tune focus with Dynamic Manual Focus (DMF). The lens also supports switching between non-linear and linear focusing when customised using the SIGMA USB DOCK UD-11 (sold separately / for L-Mount only). It is also compatible with AF assist functions found on compatible cameras (E-mount only).

Ultra-Wide Aperture Perfect for Low Light

The lens’ F1.4 aperture means a lot of light can pass through the lens. This gives a very shallow depth of field for blurry backgrounds, which is ideal for capturing high-impact portraits. It also makes it possible to shoot hand-held in low light conditions without the need for a tripod, as the fast aperture allows for faster shutter speeds.

Expands the Range of APS-C Format F1.4 Prime Lenses

With the addition of the 23mm F1.4 DC DN, the SIGMA Contemporary line now has four APS-C format F1.4 prime lenses. Together they work perfectly as a cohesive ultra-wide aperture set, collectively weighing less than 1.5kg. This means users can build a lightweight mirrorless camera system that delivers superb consistency in image quality, colour accuracy and character.
