Sigma 50 mm F1.2 DG DN Art Lens, Sony E Mount

SIGMA's Art line has been offering new possibilities and surprises for expression, and now the SIGMA 50mm F1.2 DG DN Art is here to break the standards. Elevating photographic mastery beyond conventional limits is the SIGMA 50 mm F1.2 DG DN Art Lens, Sony E Mount. SIGMA's focus with this lens is on the descriptive power that is perfectly usable from the widest aperture, and on portability that allows the high performance to be demonstrated in any field. In terms of image rendition, SIGMA achieved high resolving power from the maximum aperture throughout the entire focus range, while also enriching the beauty of the large bokeh effect at F1.2. In addition, the lens construction and mechanical design have been stripped down to the bare essentials, resulting in a significantly compact and lightweight body. The lens is also equipped with a full range of functions suitable for professional use, including high-precision AF using the latest HLA (High-response Linear Actuator) that reduces volume while maintaining the same thrust. SIGMA hopes users will enjoy the superb Art F1.2, which will transform everything they capture and even their photographic experience into something extra special. Highest Descriptive Power to Take Advantage of F1.2 BrightnessThe SIGMA 50mm F1.2 DG DN Art has been designed with an emphasis on high resolution from the maximum aperture to the full focus range and large, beautiful bokeh expression. The contrast between the sharpness of the focus surface and the melting bokeh effect creates a three-dimensional effect thanks to its F1.2 aperture. In addition, the 13-blade diaphragm allows for beautiful bokeh expressions. Focus breathing is also well suppressed, and the F1.2 rendering can be fully utilized in video recording.Brightness of F1.2 Maximum Aperture and High Resolution from Minimum to Infinity FocusThe latest optical design achieves high resolving power with each aberration thoroughly suppressed from the maximum aperture. The lens is capable of rendering details without color bleeding in any situation. In addition, the incorporated floating focus is advantageous in improving short-range performance, ensuring stable, high-level image quality throughout the entire range from the minimum focusing distance to infinity.Rich and Beautiful Bokeh without Color BleedingBy correcting spherical aberration, sagittal coma flare, axial chromatic aberration, and other aberrations, the lens delivers natural bokeh images that blur smoothly and without color bleeding from the focal plane. Double-line bokeh is also suppressed, allowing users to take advantage of the mellow bokeh effect in their expression.Rounded Diaphragm with 13 BladesThe lens incorporates SIGMA's first 13-blade diaphragm, which maintains a circular shape even when stopped down from the maximum aperture. The surface accuracy of the aspherical lens has been enhanced to the utmost to enable smooth and beautiful round bokeh expressions.Designed to Minimize Focus BreathingOptimization of the focus group arrangement and aspherical shape significantly suppresses focus breathing. The change in angle of view due to focus shift is minimized, creating a natural-looking focus shift when recording video.Designed to Minimize Flare and GhostingFlare and ghosting, which reduce image quality, are addressed under all conditions of incident light, based on the most advanced simulation technology. High backlight resistance enables clear and sharp images under any lighting conditions. Perfect for capturing every moment.
