Up until Sony announced the A6400 back in January of this year, some have speculated that the Japanese Mirrorless camera manufacturer had all but abandoned their Crop Sensor line to focus on their ever popular Full Frame cameras.

Coupled with the fact that the last time Sony released an APS-C lens was almost exactly a year before the A6400's announcement when the company introduced the variable aperture 18-135mm f3. 5-5. 6 OSS zoom lens, it's not exactly hard to see why people concerned for the life of Sony's APS-C camera line. With lineup being alive and well, at least for the immediate future, it's good to see third-party lens manufacturers continuing their support for the system as well, such is the case with the Sigma 56mm f1. 4 DC DN Contemporary lens. This is sigma's third lens designed with Sony's Crop Sensor E Mount cameras in mind. They previously released a 16mm f1. 4 lens and a 30mm f1. 4 lens, both under the Contemporary line and now marketed as a trio of sorts. The Sigma 56mm f1. 4 has a 35mm equivalent focal length of 84mm when factoring in the 1. 5x crop factor that Sony's E Mount APS-C cameras have. For those keeping track, Sigma basically designed this lens with portrait photographers in mind, as many tend to gravitate towards the 85mm focal length. A Micro Four-Thirds version of this lens is also available for photographers shooting with M43 cameras. . thephoblographer.com
