Tailored for full-frame Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras, the Sigma 45mm f/2.8 DG DN Contemporary Lens is a fast and adaptable normal-length prime lens that prioritizes both compactness and lightweight design. It produces exceptionally smooth bokeh with rounded out-of-focus highlights in both the foreground and background. Its capability to soften the edges of blurred images while enhancing the three-dimensional quality of subjects, combined with a minimum focusing distance of 9.5 inches, makes it ideal for capturing snapshots, tabletop photography, or any scenario where the subject needs to be emphasized.
While full-time manual focus is an option, this lens features a stepping motor that facilitates smooth and rapid autofocusing, operating quietly whether employing Face/Eye Detection AF or during video recording. The rounded seven-blade diaphragm enhances the quality of the bokeh, and a lens hood is provided to safeguard the front element and minimize flare from stray light.
- This lens, part of Sigma's Contemporary line within the Global Vision series, is engineered to strike a harmonious balance between convenience and performance. It features a compact and lightweight design that facilitates versatile handling while offering impressive optical characteristics.
- Designed specifically for full-frame Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras, this prime lens of normal length aims to provide outstanding image quality while minimizing size and weight. It is also compatible with APS-C models, delivering a focal length equivalent to 68mm.
- The optical design effectively manages spherical aberrations, resulting in a large, soft, rounded bokeh that enhances the three-dimensional quality of the subject.
- With a constant maximum aperture of f/2.8, this lens is ideal for shooting in available light and allows for greater control over depth of field.
- The stepping autofocus motor offers fast, accurate, and nearly silent operation, benefiting both photographers and videographers alike. Additionally, full-time manual focus control is available for those who prefer it.
- The rounded seven-blade diaphragm contributes to a smooth and aesthetically pleasing bokeh effect.
- Constructed from brass, the bayonet mount ensures precision and durability, while the inclusion of rubber sealing in the mount design enhances its resistance to dust and splashes.
