This lens is incredible for its price! I bought this lens through Adorama's Open Box department, so I got  an extra discount from its full price.

I am pairing it with my FX30 and my a6300; I wanted to use it as a photography and video lens. So far I've only tested this lens with my a6300 during a studio photoshoot, and the quality is outstanding-sharp portraits even at 1.4 (I've attached a few processed samples)

I am currently testing continuous lighting portraits with my FX30, and I am equally impressed at how good the raw images look.

I would buy again! Even at full price!

love it so far!

Lens showed up earlier than expected and in flawless condition for the "average" used rating. Seriously so excited to get out soon and put this lens to work. First time ever ordering through Adorama and I seriously just became a loyal customer. Thank you guys so much!!!!

Amazing deal on getting this Used

Excellent quality. Very useful for portraits.

Highly recommended

Great lens!! Great price!!

This lens is superb.  Image quality wide open is tack sharp.  The lens is well made, but light and super compact.  When you factor in the price, it is a must have - incredible bargain.  Now resides on my CL 90% of the time - perfect for portraits.

Superb image quality

The YouTube reviews on this lens are right. This is the best of the Sigma prime lens trio for the Sony APS-C cameras. I have the 16 and 30 mm. I like them both, but this focal length I find to be more useful for most of my pictures. Used this for some nighttime Holiday parade photos and got some great shots. This will be my go to lens for the kids band concerts and dance recitals.  Focal length is good and the low light performance is great. The Sigma lenses have nice warm color to them and are very sharp. Focus speed is good but I do find it not as quick as Sony lenses. Very happy with my purchase and got a great price on Cyber Monday.  I would recommend this lens and Adorama.

Great little lens

It?s a little longer than I?d like, but it?s light and fast. The pictures gave all been clear and crisp.
I would recommend this lens.

Sigma 56mm 1.4 lens

This is possibly the best lens to get for your Sony E Mount if you are a portrait photographer. This is equivalent to (almost) 85mm full frame, and this lens produces great bokeh quality, great in low light because of the F1.4, and it is very compact because of its size. I really enjoy using this lens and I honestly think this can compete with some G-Master lenses.

BEST PORTRAIT LENS FOR APSC Sony E Mount

Bought this for my Canon M50 MkII, and I couldn't be happier.   Small and light for its focal length and speed, super sharp,  fast reliable focussing.
It's also inexpensive compared to other similar lenses.
Oh, and, unlike Canon lenses, Sigma lenses include a lens hood!

Great little lens for my Canon M50 MkII

I considered the new Fuji 56mm f/1.2 WR lens but I'm happy I decided to try the Sigma 56mm f/1.4 first.  It's $600 less with the sale price and the build quality and optical quality are great.  The lens feels good in the hand, the images are sharp and beautiful.  I'll add 3 photos made with the Sigma 56mm and my Fuji X-H2 40MP camera.

Better than expected

This is a great lens on my Leica. Small, lightweight, razor-sharp.  Great value.

Great lens value.

The images this lens produces are nothing short of spectacular. At f/1.4 the images are sharp and gorgeous. I have noticed a few mis focused (slightly) images of subjects at medium distances in low contrast light BUT for normal portrait style shots, the lens never missed a beat. I also suspect my Olympus em5 mark iii might play into the focus issues a tiny bit so not sure if it is fully the lenses fault. Overall, I am happy with the lens.

Excellent Image quality...focus can be off sometimes but might be the cameras fault

This lens is on the same level (for an APS-C lens) as an expensive 85mm prime lens on a full frame camera. Unless you're a high-earning professional photographer, you probably will not need or ever want  a better portrait lens than this one.

Best Sony APS-C portrait lens ever!

First of all, the picture's taken with this lens using A6000 is perfect. The details in the pictures can't be compared with any other lens in $500 budger. Auto  focus and low light is also beyond expectation. At last, Adorama did a great job, sent fast and it was well packaged.

Awesome Sigma Sony E mount lens

Awesome Sigma Sony E mount

I was looking into Fuji primes, when Sigma started offering their lenses for the Fuji X system. Great lens for an incredible price! I am not someone to peek into pixels, but the "feel" of a 1.4 lens is just great. No issues with focus etc. If you don't really need aperture ring, it's safe to get this one.

Great lens for an incredible price!

Very good lens for the price and it's compact size.  Shows some barrel distorsions.

Good fast Med. tele-photo lens for Leica CL on a budget.

Hard to beat for the money, and sadly puts the old Fuji 56mm F1.2 to shame, at least in terms of performance/image quality.

Overall, it focuses much more reliably than my Fuji 56mm, especially in low light, and it's also silent while doing it (vs. the loud/grindy sound of the Fuji). That translates to better tracking in CAF modes, and more shots in focus for things like couples walking down the aisle at weddings, etc. (Racking focus isn't that much quicker compared to the Fuji 56mm, but given that it's not confident/accurate, the speed isn't useful).

Image quality is also better when shooting wide open compared to the Fuji, at least in my experience. My copy of the Fuji 56mm is pretty soft at F1.2 (especially at closer distances), and doesn't really sharpen up considerably until around F2. Conversely, the Sigma is sharp right from F1.4, and the difference in bokeh/background blur between F1.2 vs. F1.4 is minimal (as is the 1/3rd stop of light).

Better performing than the Fuji 56mm F1.2

Great lens for Fuji

Way more than a portrait lens.  Very happy with the results so far.  Fast focus, good colors and dynamic range.  Light weight.  Fast delivery from Adorama.  Huge value compared to Olympus Pro-line lenses.

Good value in a top quality M43 lens

This ie an APC lens desing tor the L-Mouit system for Leica, Pansonic and Sigma cameras.  Very good image quality.  Very good bokeh.

Great option for Leica CL

Amazing lens and neat little kit items. The kit is essentially free, so the items aren?t high quality to match the lens, but everything works. Will probably never use the software, but I keep the polarizing filter on this lens almost all the time.

Adorama?s packaging was disappointinf, though. This whole kit shipped in a box about twice as large as needed and with no packing paper or any protection to keep the items from moving around. In fact, when I picked the box up from my porch everything slid and crashed to the bottom, which scared me. Luckily, nothing broke.

Amazing lens, cool kit, poor packaging

Great product and service.

WOW - this thing is insane - when you think of documentary footage with the smooth boca - this is where it comes from.

Great Lense for the Bag  - Portratis / Documentary Goodness!

This lens is a beast. Attached my M6 Mkiii it's able to quickly lock focus on eyes. Sharp in the focal range, nice creamy shallow depth of field in the background at f/1.4. 

After getting an adapter, I've slowly been transitioning to EF mount lenses, but this EF-M is staying in my bag. It is an incredible portrait lens and an amazing value for what you get.

Must have for any EF-M owner

I love this lens. Works well with my Sony A6500. I researched for months before I decided. I made a great choice.

Sigma Lens 56mm

Small light and sharp.  Very affordable for f/1.4 lens

Great lens for my Leica CL

It was my first time purchasing through Adorama and I was very well pleased with the customer service, updates on the shipping status, and also the packaging. Coming all the way from NY to Southern California I was very impressed with the speedy process and great lens purchase.

Fist Experience ordering from Adorama

One of the best lenses on Sony e mount for portraits. Did my research and ended up buying this one.
