Sigma 50mm f/1.2 DG DN Art Overview
Lightweight, Precise & Bright
The lightest in its class and the brightest in Sigma s 50mm prime lineup, the 50mm f/1.2 DG DN Art Lens for Sony E-mount cameras is a well-designed lens for everyday use. Driven by Sigma s dual HLA (High-response Linear Actuator) motors, this lens delivers quiet and high-speed performance. Simultaneously, this focusing system allows for a more compact design, helping make this lens lighter than its counterparts. This classic focal length paired with an extremely wide f/1.2 maximum aperture allows users to effortlessly capture a variety of subject matter. Also, there are physical function buttons and switches that improve the lens s overall ease of use as well as its reliability in the field. To reduce ghosting and improve contrast, a super multilayer coating is used on the glass elements.
Impressively Smooth Bokeh
Sporting a f/1.2 maximum aperture, this 50mm prime lens provides rich and beautiful bokeh. Not only is this a massive benefit for creating more artistic and flattering imagery, but it allows you the ability to capture detailed images in harsh lighting conditions.
This lens s rounded 13-blade diaphragm is a first for Sigma and maintains a circular shape, helping create smooth and round bokeh even when stopped down.
Exceptional Build
Constructed with convenience in mind, the 50mm f/1.2 is equipped with multiple functions to assist you while shooting. An AFL button is available for maintaining focus on a single distance. Certain camera models allow for customizing the AFL s function.
The dust- and splash-resistant lens structure combined with the front lens element s water and oil-repellent coating create a durable overall lens that s reliable in the field.
The aperture ring is lockable and can be set to click/de-click depending on your preference.
