Bright f/1.4 Maximum Aperture for Low Light and Bokeh:
The fast f/1.4 maximum aperture allows for exceptional performance in low-light conditions, enabling you to capture well-exposed images even in dimly lit environments. This wide aperture also provides shallow depth of field, allowing you to isolate your subject beautifully with a smooth and pleasing background bokeh, ideal for creating striking portraits and drawing attention to your main focus.
Versatile 35mm Equivalent Focal Length:
On an APS-C sensor, the 23mm focal length provides a 35mm equivalent field of view, a classic and highly versatile perspective. This focal length is wide enough to capture expansive scenes and environmental portraits while still offering a natural perspective that avoids excessive distortion, making it suitable for a broad range of subjects.
High Optical Performance for Sharp and Clear Images:
The Sigma 23mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary lens incorporates advanced optical design elements to deliver exceptional image quality. Special lens elements, including SLD (Special Low Dispersion) and aspherical elements, are used to effectively suppress chromatic aberrations, distortion, and sagittal coma flare, resulting in sharp, clear, and well-corrected images across the entire frame, even at the widest aperture.
Compact and Lightweight Design for Portability:
Staying true to Sigma’s Contemporary line philosophy, this lens strikes a perfect balance between optical performance and portability. Its compact and lightweight design makes it comfortable to carry for extended periods, whether you’re exploring city streets or hiking through landscapes. This portability doesn’t compromise its robust build quality, ensuring reliable performance.
Fast and Quiet Autofocus:
The lens features a stepping motor that provides fast, smooth, and quiet autofocus performance for both stills and video. This responsive autofocus system ensures accurate subject acquisition and tracking, allowing you to capture fleeting moments with confidence. The quiet operation is particularly beneficial for video recording, minimizing unwanted noise in your audio.
Designed for FUJIFILM X Mount:
This lens is specifically designed for APS-C format FUJIFILM X Mount mirrorless cameras, ensuring seamless integration and optimal performance with your camera system. It takes full advantage of the X Mount’s communication protocol to provide fast and reliable autofocus and other camera-lens functionalities.
Manual Focus Ring for Precise Control:
The lens features a smooth and responsive manual focus ring, allowing for precise manual focus adjustments when needed. This is particularly useful for fine-tuning focus for specific creative effects or in situations where autofocus may not be ideal.
Dust and Splash Resistant Construction:
The lens features a dust and splash resistant structure, including sealing at the mount and other critical areas. This provides added protection when shooting in challenging weather conditions, allowing you to capture your vision without worrying about the elements.
