Sigma 56mm F1.4 DC DN Contemporary

56mm f/1.4

Short answer

The Sigma 56mm F1.4 DC DN Contemporary is a portrait prime for the Fujifilm X mount. It covers 56 mm, which frames like 84mm on a 35mm camera, and opens to f/1.4. Autofocus is built in.

It mounts on all 34 X mount cameras in the catalog, among them the X-T5, X-T50, X-E5, X-M5, and X-T30 III. Fixed-lens models such as the X100 series are out by definition.

The same category holds 20 other X mount lenses. Among them, the fastest is the Fujinon XF50mmF1.0 R WR at f/1.
