Its weight of 745g, compact size and internal focus system with dual HLA motors allow for rapid and reliable focus for both still and video. Perfect for use on lightweight gimbal setups.
Bright F1.2 aperture with outstanding optical quality
SIGMA’s first ever 13 diaphragm blade lens
Designed to minimise focus breathing, flare and ghosting
The lens has been optimised through its optical construction and focus group arrangements to significantly suppress focus breathing. Focus shift is also minimised, creating a natural focus shift look when recording video. Flare and ghosting are also effectively reduced, even when shooting in heavily backlit environments such as street and event photography.
Lightweight design suitable for a wide range of applications
Designed to be used anytime, anywhere, the SIGMA 50mm F1.2 DG DN | Art has been constructed using new design techniques and technology to produce an incredibly lightweight and portable lens. Perfect for photographers who require lightweight kit without compromising on quality.
Unique lens and mechanical design
Effortlessly and reliably focus on your subject thanks to the newly revised focusing system. The lens features a floating focusing system that uses dual HLA (High-response Linear Actuator) motors. The use of these motors reduces the lens’s size without compromising performance. Focusing is fast, quiet and accurate, perfect for every situation.
By precisely controlling the configuration of multiple magnets, the HLA provides sufficient thrust to quickly move the lens’s large-diameter focus elements, while achieving an approximate 25% reduction in unit thickness from the previous HLA design as well as a 44% reduction in total weight.
By utilising state-of-the-art production technology at SIGMA’s manufacturing base in Aizu, Japan, each glass element has been reduced.
Professional feature-set
The lens is equipped with an AFL button which can be assigned to a range of functions via the camera menu on supported cameras. L-Mount users can customise the button further using the UD-11 USB Dock. Effortlessly control the depth-of-field using the built-in aperture control ring and make your images stand out from the crowd. The aperture ring lock switch prevents the ring from accidental knocks. Use the aperture click switch to turn the click of the aperture ring on or off. Ideal for when shooting video and quiet scenes.
In addition to a dust and splash-resistant structure, the front element of the lens features a water and oil-repellent coating, allowing photographers to shoot without concern even in harsh outdoor environments.
A dedicated petal-shaped hood is also supplied. A secure locking mechanism is provided for easy attachment and removal.
Two F1.2 lens options
Choose from two amazing SIGMA lenses, both with F1.2 apertures that are ideal for characterful portraits, creative street shots and stunning low-light compositions. Choose the 50mm F1.2 for a classic look that closely resembles human vision. It makes composing images a breeze whilst keeping facial features looking natural. With its wider field of view, the 35mm F1.2 is ideal for environmental portraits and can double up as a wide-angle street or architectural lens.
