SIGMA 50mm F1.4 DG DN | Art Sony E-Mount

The highest level of performance in expression, high-speed autofocus and compactness, all combined to perfection.
The new benchmark for standard "Art F1.4" large aperture lens.

Designed with an emphasis on high-end optical performance and considerable expressive power, SIGMA's Art line offers high-level artistic quality. The latest model in the F1.4 series, which has become synonymous with the Art line, is the SIGMA 50mm F1.4 DG DN | Art, a large aperture standard lens designed for full frame mirrorless cameras. While retaining the concept of the SIGMA 50mm F1.4 DG HSM | The original art that established the reputation of the Art F1.4 series, SIGMA reconsidered from the start what is truly important in a standard lens used in a wide variety of shooting situations.

By incorporating all the latest technologies, this lens has achieved a high degree of combination between the optimal size and the high-speed autofocus required for today's mirrorless systems, while maintaining the highest optical performance. In addition to the brightness of the F1.4 large aperture and the beautiful bokeh effect, various aberrations have been optimally balanced to achieve uniform and balanced image quality throughout the entire image, from the center to the edges of the frame. . The new "Art F1.4 50mm", a truly versatile lens in terms of expressive performance, maneuverability and ease of use, designed to assist photographers in creating their best work. This is the 50mm F1.4 DG DN | Art, SIGMA's ideal "standard" lens.

The "Art F1.4" benchmark with uncompromising optical performance.
Based on the latest optical construction technologies, the lens incorporates 14 elements in 11 groups, including 3 aspherical lens elements and 1 SLD glass element. The lens effectively suppresses various aberrations such as astigmatism and field curvature, which cannot be corrected in-camera. Even with the large F1.4 aperture, performance at the image periphery has been maintained and sagittal coma flare has been minimized to the point that from the widest aperture the lens can withstand even difficult shooting scenes. stars and at night, with demanding light sources. In addition to clear image quality with no color blending across the entire image circle, the natural beauty of bokeh at F1.4 can be fully exploited in photography.

High-speed autofocus for quick and comfortable shots.
The SIGMA 50mm F1.4 DG DN | Art is the first lens in the Art line designed for Full Frame Mirrorless cameras to adopt the "HLA" (High-response Linear Actuator) linear AF motor. Additionally, by using a single double-sided aspherical lens element as the focusing element, the lens delivers fast, quiet focusing and high tracking performance even with its large aperture. With a maximum aperture of F1.4 and a very capable AF system, the lens can be used in a variety of situations, including shooting in dark locations, shooting moving subjects, photos on the vivid and even the video.

High performance, yet lightweight and compact
The development of the SIGMA 50mm F1.4 DG DN | Art focused on reducing the size of the lens by decreasing the weight of the focusing element and optimizing the optical construction, in order to find the "optimal size" for hybrid systems without compromising the concept of "maximum priority on optical performance" of the SIGMA Art line. This lens has managed to achieve both high-level performance and the size required for a light and mobile photographic tool.

Full range of functions and superior build quality
The lens is equipped with a focus mode switch, an iris ring switch for clicking on and off, an iris ring lock switch to prevent unintended operation, and a AFL button to assign any function from the device. These features are designed for intuitive use while shooting. The lens features a dust-proof and splash-proof structure, and the front lens of the lens is coated with a water- and oil-repellent coating, making it suitable for a variety of shooting environments. The lens is compact, lightweight and easy to use, while maintaining high build quality ensured by Aizu's renowned "Made in Japan" manufacturing technology.
