Sigma 56mm F1.4 is a highly regarded portrait lens for Micro Four Thirds, and finally I got my hands on one. I have used this lens briefly previously, but never had an extensive shoot with it. I mounted it on my OM System OM-1 and did some portraits shooting, with POV video recorded! You can watch the POV video here (click) to see my camera's LCD screen before I press the shutter button. From this limited experience, I found the Sigma 56mm F1.4 to produce very good results - resolving admirable sharpness with plenty of fine details captured, excellent contrast and beautiful bokeh. This was just a portrait shooting session so I did not shoot the lens with a full review in mind. The lens rendering however lacks overall depth, they look rather flat and could use better 3D pop, which I see more from my usual portrait lenses like Olympus 45mm F1.8 and 75mm F1.8. Nevertheless, it is a decently budget lens, priced way lower than the Olympus 75mm F1.8, so I don't expect the output to be equal. For the money I have paid, indeed the Sigma 56mm F1.4 is a great value lens that delivers beautiful portraits! Special thanks to our model of the day, the beautiful Zarah (IG @zarahjuana_06)
