SIGMA 50mm f1.2

The lightest in its class: F1.2 brightness and the maximum descriptive power of the Art range of lenses SIGMA

The SIGMA 50mm F1.2 DG DN Art has arrived to break the mold. Belonging to the Art range, known for enhancing creative possibilities, this lens offers enormous descriptive power from maximum aperture and portability that allows its high performance to be deployed anywhere and in any setting. In terms of image quality, SIGMA has succeeded in achieving high resolving power from F1.2 and across the entire focusing range, while extolling the beauty of a forceful bokeh effect at maximum aperture. Optical construction and mechanical design have been reduced to the essentials in this lens, resulting in a significantly compact and lightweight body. This lens is also equipped with a full range of functions for professional use, including a high-precision AF that employs the latest HLA (High-response Linear Actuator) motor, which allows the volume of the assembly to be reduced while maintaining its performance. Users will be able to enjoy the superb quality of this new Art F1.2, destined to transform the shooting experience into something truly special.

Highest descriptive power to squeeze the most out of f1.2 brightness

The SIGMA 50mm F1.2 DG DN Art has been designed with the emphasis on the ability to deliver high resolution from the maximum aperture throughout the focusing range and a wide, beautiful bokeh. The contrast between the sharpness of the focusing surface and the bokeh effect creates a three-dimensional effect thanks to the F1.2 aperture, increasing its expressive beauty by the use of a 13-blade diaphragm. Focus breathing is so well corrected that it is possible to use the F1.2 aperture for video recording without reluctance.

Maximum aperture of f1.2 and high resolution down to infinity focus

The latest optical design of the SIGMA 50mm F1.2 DG DN Art provides high resolving power with every aberration fully suppressed from the maximum aperture and with the ability to reproduce details without color bleeding in any situation. In addition, floating focus enhances performance at close range, ensuring high and stable image quality throughout the focal range, from the minimum focusing distance to infinity

A rich and beautiful bokeh effect without color bleeding

By correcting spherical aberration, sagittal coma flare, axial chromatic aberration and other aberrations, this optic provides images with natural bokeh that fades smoothly and without color bleeding from the focal plane. Double-line bokeh is also suppressed, allowing you to take advantage of the pleasing out-of-focus effect in every creation.

13-blade rounded diaphragm

This lens incorporates the first 13-blade diaphragm from SIGMA, which retains its circular shape even when diaphragming from the maximum aperture. Precision on the surface of the aspherical lens surface has been taken care of to obtain a rounded, smooth and beautiful bokeh effect.

Designed to minimize focus breathing
