Product Details

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.
