Sigma 56mm F1.4 DC DN Contemporary Lens for FUJIFILM X Announced, Priced $479, Available for Pre-Order

Sigma has just officially announced the Sigma 56mm F1.4 DC DN C lens for Fujifilm XF mount. It is characterized by its bright f/1.4 maximum aperture, which suits working in difficult lighting conditions and also offers improved control over depth of field for isolating subjects and working with selective focus techniques.
