Review: A Deserved WOW... - Remember the Wow? OM Systems started the promotion of their new OM 1 camera touting it as a WOW equipment piece. Many in the YouTube and camera review world doubted this decree. Many found it hard to believe that much improvement could be attained despite a revamped sensor, a much-tightened menu system, and other advances. I am wondering if when testing their new camera maybe, JUST MAYBE, OM Systems viewed testing results thru the rose-colored lens of the Sigma 56mm 1.4 lens. Of course, not really rose-colored, but WOW. 2X WOW. I purchased the Sigma 56mm 1.4 for my OM 1 and I wasn’t ready for a number of good points. The lens is—at once—small, light, and VERY QUICK to acquire accurate focus. , Unboxing—the lens began my OMG day. The lens is much more diminutive than you may think. And while being solid with great glass, somehow it’s as light as its size promises. Imaging—absolutely fabulous photos! Good contrast and true colors. Even better than the Olympus 40-150mm 2.8. More natural yet still vibrant. I am past surprised, I am at WOW. Bokeh—even before you get to F1.4 you have smooth and very noticeable bokeh. Caught me off guard. Open to 1.4 and “oh! SOB! I’ve got something here.” Now there’s only one more on the TO DO list: OM Systems needs to collaborate with Sigma and form a serious partnership like Sony did with Zeiss. Come on Sigma, OM Systems let’s form a trust! Everybody will be happy $$$ !! Review: Great Lens - I use this lens on my Panasonic Lumix G9 and I’m very pleased so far. The lens is very sharp, it works fine with all of the G9’s autofocus modes (including the face/eye detect and the animal detect) if perhaps a tad slower than some of my other Panasonic Leica lenses, and the construction quality is excellent. I remember Sigma lenses from the old days and this lens is nothing like their budget offerings of yesteryear. In fact, it’s nicer than many camera brand lenses. I was a bit concerned that the slightly odd field-of-view equal to a112mm lens on full-frame might be problematic, but having used the Nikkor 105mm lens for decades it wasn’t that different. If anything, the slightly longer focal length helps overcome a weakness of Micro 4/3s; namely, producing more pronounced background blur for increased subject separation. To sum up, this lens should definitely be on your list if you’re shopping for a portrait lens or a general-puprpose telephoto lens. ## Features - Featuring compact design, light weight and outstanding image quality offered in Sigma’s Contemporary line - n addition, this lens is characterized by smooth and quiet autofocus ideal for video shooting. - By using the face recognition or eye AF functions of the camera, focus will continuously be on the face or the eye even if the subject moves during the shoot. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07JZB8FR3 | | Batteries | 1 12V batteries required. | | Best Sellers Rank | #8 in SLR Camera Lenses | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (358) | | Date First Available | November 7, 2018 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 9.8 ounces | | Item model number | 351963 | | Language | English | | Manufacturer | Sigma Corporation of America | | Product Dimensions | 2.3 x 2.1 x 2.6 inches | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Sigma - **Camera Lens Description:** 56 Months - **Compatible Mountings:** Micro Four Thirds - **Focal Length Description:** 56mm F1.4 - **Lens Type:** Standard ## Images ![Sigma 56mm F1.4 DC DN | C for Micro 4/3 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61c3T+8Oy7L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is this for Sony or M4/3?** A: It comes in both Sony and MFT mounts. Sigma designed it for APS-C to be an 85mm equivalent. On MFT it is 112mm equivalent. It is superb on my Olympus EM1.2. **Q: Does this come with a lens hood included?** A: Yes, this lens does include a lens hood. **Q: Is this specific product compatible with micro 4/3?** A: I own this model lens and it fits my Olympus EM5 micro 4/3 camera. Sigma may, however manufacture 56mm lenses designed to fit other mounts. The product listing will surely specify whether the lens you are viewing is for a micro 4/3 mount. **Q: Is this compatible with Sony a7 and Lumix gx85?** A: Yes but sony and panasonic have different mount. You have to buy one for each camera. Or you can buy the sony mount only and then buy a sony to m43 adapter when you want to use it for your gx85. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Deserved WOW... *by J***O on April 14, 2022* Remember the Wow?

Even at 1.4 it is sharp all the way across with basically no vignetting on the sides. I could have paid $1000 for this lens and been happy as a clam. All I can say is BUY THIS LENS. I shot the ring pics at 1.4 on my GH5. The video is even sharper. The colors are so pleasing and the contrast is great. The AF was spot on once I got used to backing up, I am used to macro. All around this lens is a master piece. For video the IS was great. Almost gimbal smooth but that was with my camera 5 axis. The focus ring is nice and smooth and made of rubber that almost feels like the metal on the lens but it is easier to grip especially when wet. If you look close you can clearly see me taking the picture in the models eye. ## Frequently Bought Together - Sigma 56mm F1.4 DC DN | C for Micro 4/3 Black - Sigma 30mm F1.4 Contemporary DC DN Lens for Micro 4/3 Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/96896901-sigma-56mm-f1-4-dc-dn-c-for-micro-4](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/96896901-sigma-56mm-f1-4-dc-dn-c-for-micro-4) --- *Product available on Desertcart Great Britain* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
