SIGMA 50mm f/1.4 Art DG DN L-Mount
THE NEW STANDARD OF LINGUISTIC EXPRESSION, PRESENTED BY SIGMA
The highest level of expressive performance, high-speed AF and compact size―all combined perfectly.
The new standard for "Art F1.4" large-aperture prime.
Designed with a focus on sophisticated optical performance and tremendous expressive power, SIGMA's Art line delivers top-notch artistic quality.
The newest addition to 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 exclusively for full-frame mirrorless cameras.
Keeping the concept of the original SIGMA 50mm F1.4 DG HSM | Artwhich has defined the reputation of the Art F1.4 series, SIGMA has re-examined from the ground up what is really important in a standard lens used in a wide range of shooting situations.
By incorporating all the latest technologies, this lens has achieved a high degree of compatibility between the optimal size and the high-speed AF required for today's mirrorless systems while maintaining the highest class optical performance.
In addition to the brightness of the large F1.4 aperture and the large, beautiful bokeh effect, several aberrations have been optimally balanced in pursuit of smooth, balanced image quality across the entire image range, from the center to the edges of the frame.
The result is the new "Art F1.4 50mm", a lens that is truly versatile in terms of expressive performance, manoeuvrability and usability, and is designed to help photographers create their best work. Introducing the 50mm F1.4 DG DN | Art, SIGMA's ideal "standard" lens.
THE F/1.4 ART STANDARD WITH UNCOMPROMISING OPTICAL PERFORMANCE
Based on the latest optical design technology, the lens incorporates 14 elements in 11 groups, with 3 aspherical lenses and 1 SLD glass element.
The lens effectively suppresses various aberrations, such as astigmatism and field curvature, which cannot be corrected in the camera.
Despite the large aperture of F1.4, imaging performance at the periphery of the image has been sought and the flare coma reflex has been minimized to the extent that the lens can withstand even challenging star and night scenes, with demanding point light sources for wide open imagery.
In addition to sharp image quality without color blur across the entire image circle, the great natural bokeh beauty of F1.4 can be fully utilized in photography.
HIGH-SPEED AF FOR AGILE AND COMFORTABLE SHOOTING
The SIGMA 50mm F1.4 DG DN | The Art is the first in the Art line developed exclusively for full-frame mirrorless cameras to adopt the "HLA" (High-response Linear Actuator) linear motor.
In addition, using a single double-sided aspherical lens as the focusing element, the lens offers fast, quiet focusing and high tracking performance despite its large aperture.
With a maximum aperture of 1.4 and a high-performance AF system, the lens can be used in a variety of situations, including shooting in dark places, shooting moving subjects, snapshots, and even videos.
HIGH PERFORMANCE IN A SLIM, COMPACT DESIGN
The development of the SIGMA 50mm F1.4 DG DN | Art focused on shrinking the lens barrel by reducing the weight of a focusing lens and optimizing the lens unit layout, to pursue the "optimal size" for mirrorless systems without compromising the concept of "maximum emphasis on optical performance" of SIGMA's Art line.
This lens has managed to achieve first-class performance and the size required for a lightweight, mobile photographic tool.
FULL RANGE OF FUNCTIONS AND HIGH BUILD QUALITY
The lens barrel is equipped with a focus mode switch, an aperture ring click switch to activate and deactivate clicking, an aperture ring lock switch to prevent unintentional operation, and an AFL button to assign any camera function.
These features are designed for intuitive operation while shooting.
DUST AND SPLASH RESISTANT FRAME FOR SAFETY IN VARIOUS SHOOTING SITUATIONS
The lens is equipped with a dust and splash-resistant structure, and the front element of the lens is applied with a water- and oil-repellent coating, making it suitable for a wide range of shooting environments.
The lens is compact, lightweight, and easy to use, while ensuring high build quality ensured by the reliable "Made in Japan" processing technology from the Aizu factory.
