I series | A new photographic experience, “Premium Compact Primes” for mirrorless users
The Sigma 45mm f/2.8 DG Contemporary Lens for L Mount Black features full-frame-compatible lenses that offer mirrorless users a new and better alternative, both in the experience of shooting with the lens and in the impressive results it is able to achieve.
One of the key advantages of mirrorless cameras is their smaller form-factor, and the Sigma 45mm f/2.8 DG Contemporary Lens for L Mount Black is designed to be perfectly matched to these more compact systems without sacrificing performance. This combination of superb optical quality with exceptional portability, not previously possible with DSLR systems, will bring new opportunities to this and future generations of photographers.
Simultaneously, Sigma is aware that, in this day and age when we have such huge diversity when it comes to what we use to photograph, as represented by smartphones, people look for something more than a mere act of “taking pictures” when they choose to own a camera and lenses.
Sigma’s excellence in development and processing technologies has been built up since its founding in 1961, and has become further sophisticated with the introduction of the Sigma Global Vision in 2012. With this as a base, Sigma has given careful thought how photographers use and enjoy their lenses, including optical design, advanced functionality, build quality and the experience of picking up and using the lens, and with all of this carefully considered, the I series was born.
Beautiful bokeh and rendering that can be enjoyed in every scene
With the Sigma 45mm f/2.8 DG Contemporary Lens for L Mount Black, bokeh expressions are especially featured. Spherical aberration has been controlled to ensure not only the large bokeh in the front and rear of the subject but also the rear bokeh near the area in focus create a gradient to a soft blur. This lens softens the periphery of blurred images suppressing the double-line bokeh etc. and enhances the three-dimensional impression of the subject with the smooth expressions in the foreground and the background. In addition, its minimum focusing distance of 24cm makes it possible to enjoy shooting snapshots and tabletop photos taking advantage of the angle of view. The design gives consideration to vignetting to achieve beautiful round bokeh and subdue swirly bokeh in the whole bokeh effects.
While this Sigma 45mm f/2.8 DG Contemporary Lens for L Mount Black produces smooth bokeh effects of which one could say as “classical expression” when the aperture is wide open, it also realizes modern sharp rendering when it is stopped down. It is reassuring to hold this lens as the regular lens for everyday use.
High build quality and outstanding operability
Because this Sigma 45mm f/2.8 DG Contemporary Lens for L Mount Black is intended for everyday use, particular attention has been given to build quality and operability. The Sigma 45mm f/2.8 DG Contemporary Lens for L Mount Black barrel incorporating metal material as the main part achieves improved durability. Furthermore, thanks to the aperture ring with the right click feeling, comfortable operability during various shooting styles is ensured. The design gives consideration to MF operations, and a ring of appropriate torque provides good operability.
Metal bayonet hood
The Sigma 45mm f/2.8 DG Contemporary Lens for L Mount Black hood features aluminium, using the same material as the lens body which has realized high quality and high rigidity.
Furthermore, cared for the click feeling at the time of when removing and attaching, the knurling process featured on the surface provides a superior usability.
