Review: Awesome addition for all Canon M series cameras! - 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.
Review: Perfect Lens for Portraits... - I was recommended this lens by a fellow photographer while travelling in Italy, and it’s been the perfect choice for portrait work. It’s light, compact, easy to carry, and excellent value for money. I pair it with a Sony A6400 and have captured some of my best portraits to date.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: would anyone want to compare this with any of the other popular 50-55mm’s in the market for e-mount please**
A: This is one of the best out there. Sigma did a great job. It was compared with most 50-55mm's and it was sharper than the FF sony 50mm e for example.

**Q: is this for full frame?**
A: The other answers are correct, but incomplete. Yes, this will work on full frame cameras in APSC-crop mode, BUT you also need to use the crop factor of 1.5. Therefore, the lens will function as an 84 mm (56 x 1.5) which is probably NOT not want you want.

That also makes the description misleading and confusing. Yeah, the 56 mm "works" on full frame, but at 84 mm.

**Q: EF mount? (full frame)**
A: No, APSC e mount.

**Q: does this have oss?**
A: No you would have to go with native sony lens to oss but is a sharp portrait lens i have it on my sony 6400.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just perfect!
*by A***D on 16 July 2024*

After using the perfect lens, I discovered that I actually didn't need to go into much details from reviews and the likes! It's just perfect, you just connect it to the camera body and you don't need anything else from set-up or trying to find the perfect shot, as it's always there with no hassle. The weight is appropriate and I can't be bothered by it. The focus is excellent, maybe not the fastest but it's still great. Enjoy the lens and the image quality. The build materials are also very good. It looks beautiful on the camera and it costs reasonably.
