Overview:

Designed with a focus on sophisticated optical performance and tremendous expressive power, the Sigma 50mm F1.4 DG DN Art Lens for Sony E is the newest addition to the F1.4 series which has become synonymous with the Art line. This lens is a large-aperture standard lens designed exclusively for Sony E-mount full-frame mirrorless cameras. Its 50mm focal length is ideally suited for portraiture, landscapes, and all-purpose shooting and provides a bright f/1.4 maximum aperture for shallow depth of field control.

• Inner focus system - To increase stability, this lens configuration uses movable internal lens elements that adjust focus without changing the length of the lens barrel.
  
• AFL button - The AFL button can be assigned with various functions to widen the range of operations available on the lens.
• Focus Mode Switch - Using this switch, it is possible to switch the focus mode between AF and MF.
• Aperture ring - Designed to help users work intuitively.
• Aperture ring click switch - Mounted with a de-click function for removing clicks by the aperture ring click switch, enabling seamless operations that are especially useful such as during video shooting.
• Aperture ring lock switch - A ring lock system to prevent unintended movement of the aperture ring during shooting.
• Dust and Splash Resistant Structure - This lens features a highly effective dust and splash-resistant structure with special sealing at the mount connection, manual focus ring, zoom ring, and cover connection.
• Flare and ghosting reduction - SIGMA’s Super Multi-Layer Coating reduces flare and ghosting to help photographers produce sharp and high-contrast images even in backlit conditions. The included lens hood can be attached to block out extraneous light, which can have a negative effect on rendering performance.
• High-precision, rugged brass bayonet mount - The brass mount combines high precision with rugged construction. Its treated surfaces and enhanced strength contribute to the exceptional durability of the lens.
• Rounded diaphragm - When photographing with point light sources such as electric lights or reflections on a body of water in the background, the rounded 11-blade diaphragm helps produce an attractive bokeh effect—even at large-aperture settings.
• Super Multi-Layer Coating - SIGMA’s own Super Multi-Layer Coating suppresses flare and ghosting by preventing reflections within the lens. All lenses in the current SIGMA range feature this original technology. In digital cameras, flare, and ghosting may also be caused by reflections between the image sensor and lens surfaces. Here too, SIGMA’s Super Multi-Layer Coating is highly effective, assuring images of outstanding contrast.
• Water and oil-repellent coating - Incorporates water and oil-repellent coating that allows water to be wiped away easily and prevents oil and fat from sticking to the surface, even in challenging shooting conditions. At the same time, the maintenance of the lens surface becomes easier.
