Sigma 56 mm f/1.4 (C) AF DC DN Lens for Canon EF-M

I have the Canon M50 mirrorless camera. Canon’s dedicated lenses for the camera though well made, are limited in some ways, most notably but their relatively slow apertures. That hasn’t stopped me enjoying them, but I was hoping Canon would bring something new out. Sigma have beaten them to it, and then some! I already own the 16mm sigma AF DC DN lens and thats amazingly sharp and crisp. The 56mm is just as good. Given the APS-C element and the canon 1.6 crop factor the 56mm becomes effectively a 90mm F/1.4 lens, which is great as a dedicated portrait lens. It’s the main reason I bought this lens and I have used it a few times already and it does not disappoint. It’s a great ‘low light’ beast, yet, its physical form is so deceptively small (especially compared to its 16mm sister) The build quality is excellent too, it doesn’t feel ‘plastic’ at all. It forms part of their contemporary lenses family as denoted by the little silver ‘C’ on the camera body. I have been fortunate to use several sigma Art lenses, the big brothers of the contemporary line and I can tell you, the quality and build of the contempory lenses is just as good. This lens is bitingly sharp with excellent contrast. The auto focus is just as good, in my opinion, as the dedicated Canon lenses I have, I havent noticed any reduced speed at all. If you are in the market for a new lens for your Canon M series camera, thats not going to break the bank, that will actually out perform the canon lenses for the M series, then you definitely should consider this lens. Finally... Image Stabilisation. No, this camera doesnt have it. The camera body has internal IS which can be switched on. Bloggers wouldn’t generally use this lens to vlog with anyway unless you were using it to get some awesome b-roll. If you were looking for that, then consider a gimbal, or simply learn to use the lens better. It’s definitely doable without IS with this lens.

Just moved from Leica back to Canon. OK it's not a Summilux but it is a lovely lens for my M6ii, well built with a heavy duty plastic (metal mount), smooth and quiet, gorgeous bokeh, tack sharp. I love it.

Purely stills man. This lens is awesome, clarity and resolution are superb. You won't be disappointed.

This is the third lens in the Sigma Trio of lenses for the Canon M Mount rated at F1.4 and as such produces wonderful images. I have been using this lens for some of my filming for my YouTube channel Roving Chestnut and it has worked well for normal daytime filming, low light filming and Slo Motion filming. I have also used this lens on both the Canon EOS M50 and Canon EOS M6 mk2. The results I have been getting make my filming look the best it has ever been!

For vlogs

Highly recommend

Really sharp images and nice picture quality. Feels robust and professional on your hands. One of the best lenses you can get for your canon m mount

I love the quality of this lens, particularly the smooth, creamy bokeh it produces, its contrast, and its vignetting. It's also fast to focus and surprisingly compact. Used it for both photography and video, and while travelling. It takes beautiful portraits (and beautiful everything, really). My favourite lens to use with my Canon M6 over the last few years!

Must needed lens of you own a m50 or a mirror less camere. Perfect for low-light and portraits.

Kiss Mに装着して使用しています。解像度については多くの方々がレビューされているとおり、気持ちのよい画像がラクに得られます。単焦点の標準レンズをすでに所有していますので出番はさほど多くありませんが、標準ではちょっと届かない距離の被写体を捉えるために大いに重宝します。接近して撮ったとき被写体のピントのシャープさと背景のボケのコントラストが実に小気味よいです。残念な点はフードを装着したときユルユルで、うっかりするとはずれて落っこちたりすることがある点です。おまけについているフードですから仕方ないとも思いますが、レンズの精巧さを考えると、これはシグマさんの仕事とは思えません。 後日訂正 フードの取り付けがユルユルと書いたのは誤りでしたので訂正します。きっちり取り付ければ全く問題ありません。ただ、きっちり取り付けるためにはコツが必要であることを指摘しておきます。

I bought this lens for my canon m50 mark II. At the time I did not realize the crop sensor would make the lens around 80mm so it has a very tight squeeze to it. The images are insanely crisp and easy to edit. This is perfect for up close portraits or discreet animal/ street photography. Just remember you have to get really far away to get full body shots. All the photos seen are edited.

Love the quality and sharpness of this lens. This was on my wish list for sometime and was excited to receive so early with standard shipping. I think this is my 2nd purchase from the same seller. Great response time to my questions too.
