Compact Power with a Classic Perspective

A fast-aperture wide-angle prime built for APS-C-format mirrorless cameras, the Sigma 23mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary Lens offers a natural perspective equivalent to 35mm on full-frame. Designed for creators seeking a balance of portability, sharpness, and low-light performance, this lens excels in street photography, portraiture, travel, and video work alike.

Bright f/1.4 Aperture & Smooth Bokeh

The wide f/1.4 maximum aperture enables excellent control over depth of field and delivers beautiful background separation and bokeh, even in challenging lighting conditions. A 9-blade diaphragm further enhances the smoothness and roundness of out-of-focus areas, making this lens ideal for environmental portraits and close-up creative shots.

Precision Optics for Everyday Excellence

Constructed with 13 elements in 10 groups, including three SLD glass and two aspherical elements, the optical design ensures high resolution, contrast, and color accuracy from edge to edge. Aberrations are effectively minimized, providing clear, crisp imagery in both stills and video applications.

Fast, Quiet Autofocus with Inner Focus System

The inner focusing system utilizes a stepping motor to achieve fast, precise, and near-silent autofocus performance—perfect for hybrid shooters who alternate between photo and video. The responsive AF system also supports AF assist and lens aberration correction functions on compatible cameras for improved accuracy and visual consistency.

Durable, Lightweight Design

Part of Sigma’s Contemporary line, this lens blends compact form with solid reliability. Its dust- and splash-resistant construction, paired with a brass bayonet mount, ensures durability and precision even in demanding environments. With a minimum focusing distance of just 9.9", it allows for intimate close-ups and dynamic compositions with rich subject-background separation.
