![]() The maximum aperture of F1.4 is always attractive, as it gives you low light versatility along with creative depth of field options. I’ve recently said that the best APS-C camera that Sony has at the moment is the a7RV in APS-C mode! While I’ve done my formal tests on a Sony a6400 (along with some of the sample photos), I actually enjoy the lens much more on my 50MP Sony Alpha 1 in APS-C mode because I vastly prefer the ergonomics, viewfinder, IBIS, and focus system of that camera. Sigma’s DC DN series has become even more important now that Fuji has lifted their restrictions on third party development for the platform, as the Fuji X-mount is a place where these lenses can really thrive – particularly considering that fact that Sigma likes to make high resolving lenses and Fuji currently has the highest resolving APS-C cameras! I’m doing this review on Sony E-mount, but I would love to see this Sigma 23mm (and other lenses from the series) on a Fujifilm X-H2 and its 40.2MP sensor! You can also get this lens in a Leica L mount, though there aren’t any L-mount APS-C bodies and you would be using it in APS-C mode on one of the high resolution full frame models. Here’s a look at the DC (APS-C) DN (mirrorless) lineup thus far. The Sigma 23mm F1.4 DC DN Contemporary is (according to Sigma) the APS-C equivalent of their 35mm F1.4 DN ART lens, though, as we’ll see, Sigma’s design brief for the APS-C series follows a different formula than their full frame lenses. ![]() ![]() Sigma is finally back with a new entry in the line-up, and this one covers the incredibly important full frame equivalent 35mm focal length. The last one that I tested was the Sigma 56mm F1.4 DN, which impressed me as a portrait/short telephoto lens that was extremely sharp (one of the sharpest APS-C lenses that I’ve tested). It has been four years since I last reviewed a premium Sigma DN prime lens designed specifically for APS-C.
