The gold standard of fast-aperture standard primes /
This versatile, full-frame standard prime lens has been designed from the ground up for mirror-less cameras. Its 50mm focal length and ultra-wide F1.4 aperture make it ideal for almost any genre of photography, including portraits, weddings, street, landscapes and travel. Optically the lens delivers exceptional sharpness across the frame, allowing photographers to capture character-full images in remarkable detail, even on the highest resolution mirror-less cameras. Background blur is smooth and attractive perfect when shooting with a shallow depth-of-field.
The 50mm F1.4 has Sigmas exceptionally fast, accurate and quiet High-response Liner Actuator (HLA) motor built in, which provides superb AF performance for both stills and video. Included on the lens is a manual aperture ring, which has a useful de-click function for smooth aperture transitions, and a lock function to keep aperture control in either manual or auto. A customisable AFL button is included on the lens, as well as a robust lockable lens hood. Used widely by professional photographers, the lens is also ideal for casual day-to-day shooting, weighing in at just 670g.
The exceptional build quality of the 50mm F1.4 DG DN is exactly as youd expect from an Art-line lens, in the materials used, the overall ergonomics and the quality of craftsmanship.
The exterior barrel is made of a polycarbonate called Thermally Stable Composite (TSC). Not only is this very strong and light, but it has a similar thermal expansion rate to aluminium. This ensures that the interior aluminium parts and the exterior TSC parts behave in the same way as temperatures change.
The focus ring is rubberised for easier operation, and focusing is internal, meaning the lens never changes length. This makes it ideal for use on a gimbal as the centre of gravity remains fairly constant.
Towards the rear of the barrel is an aperture ring so that aperture can be changed on the lens, and it has an Auto setting should users prefer to change aperture using the camera.
To reduce flare and ghosting in bright sun, and to help protect the front element from damage if dropped, the lens has a robust petal-type lens hood with lock button. A rubberised ring on the hood makes for easier removal and fitting.
The durable brass mount is surrounded by a rubber seal to help keep out dust and moisture.
