Sigma 1: 2.8 / 45mm DG DN C: Large format cameras become compact

Sigma 1: 2,8 / 45mm DG DN C | Contemporary has been designed for use on relatively small, full-frame mirrorless cameras. It is ideal for users who appreciate ease of use, compact size and high optical performance.

Newly developed range of powerful lenses for solid frame cameras without mirrors. As the development of mirrorless cameras progresses rapidly, lens requirements for powerful, large format, mirrorless cameras are increasing. Sigma has therefore created a new series of full frame mirrorless lenses, which takes into account higher resolutions.

Beautiful bokeh and harmonious reproduction. With the Sigma 2.8 / 45mm DG DN | Contemporary creates a particularly expressive bokeh. The spherical aberration has been controlled to ensure that not only the large bokeh located in front of and behind the subject, but also the rear bokeh located near the focus area, create a soft blur. This lens softens fuzzy areas by removing double-angle bokeh, etc., and enhances the three-dimensional effect of the object by softening the foreground and the background. In addition, the 24 cm closeup limit allows snapshots and table shots with creative use of the image angle. The design takes into account the vignetting to achieve a nice round bokeh while taming the whirlwinds in the general bokeh.

While this lens produces a soft bokeh that can be described as "clbadic" when the opening is wide open, it also provides a clean and modern sound when attenuation is further mitigated.

Fast and precise autofocus thanks to the stepper motor This lens provides smooth, quiet and fast autofocus through the stepper motor and supports AF modes with face / eyepiece and video detection. The design takes into account MF operation and a ring with optimized torque adjustment guarantees good operability.

High quality manufacturing and ergonomic operation. Since the lens is designed for everyday use, special attention has been paid to quality and functionality. The bayonet lens cap is easy to remove and touch, and the lens barrel with metal as the main component offers improved durability. In addition, the right-click opening ring ensures comfortable operation in different recording situations.
