Sigma 50mm f/1.4 DG DN Art – Sony E

Expressive power meets optical excellence

A true all-round optic that is ideal for portrait, wedding, street, landscape and family photography. Improving on the already impressive 50mm F1.4 DG OS HSM lens for DSLR cameras, the SIGMA 50mm F1.4 DG DN for mirrorless delivers exceptional expressive performance to help photographers achieve striking and characterful images in remarkable detail. With the fast HLA (High-response Liner Actuator) motor, fast, quiet and precise AF can be achieved for both stills and video, with creative bokeh thanks to the exceptional F1.4 aperture.

A fast prime lens that boasts an ultra-wide aperture of F1.4, making it ideal for low-light photography such as concerts, interiors and weddings. It also delivers a very shallow depth-of-field for background blur, which is perfect for creating stand-out portraits. The bokeh is smooth and attractive, and thanks to the lens 11 diaphragm blades, the out-of-focus highlights are nicely rounded, even when working wide-open at F1.4.

Thanks to improvements in optical design technology, the SIGMA 50mm F1.4 DG DN delivers sharp results across the entire frame, particularly towards the periphery. The lens is constructed of 14 elements in 11 groups, including one SLD (Special Low Dispersion) element and three aspherical elements which delivers significant improvements to controlling sagittal coma flare and effectively suppressing various aberrations such as astigmatism and field curvature, which cannot be corrected digitally.

Never miss focus with the outstanding HLA (High-response Linear Actuator) autofocus motor. It ensures fast, accurate and near-silent focusing, and despite the lens ultra-wide aperture, exceptionally fast-tracking performance. Due to the redesigned motor, the lens includes a single double-sided aspherical element as the focusing lens that can be rapidly moved by the HLA motor.

The Sigma 50mm f/1.4 DG DN Art Lens is designed for Sony E mount cameras and delivers sophisticated optical performance and high-speed autofocus performance. Perfect for landscape, portraiture, and general all-purpose shooting, with a bright F/1.4 maximum aperture the Sigma 50mm f/1.4 DG DN Art Lens will perform well in almost all lighting conditions.

With the fast, accurate and near-silent autofocus motors, this lens is ideal for both video as well as still applications.
