Note: Specifications and performance may vary.
The Sigma 50mm F1.2 DG DN Art lens is a high-performance prime lens designed for full-frame Sony E-mount and Leica L-mount mirrorless cameras. It features a very bright f/1.2 maximum aperture, which is ideal for low-light shooting and creating shallow depth of field effects.
Bright f/1.2 maximum aperture: This allows you to shoot in low-light conditions without having to use a flash. It also allows you to create shallow depth of field effects, which can be used to isolate your subject from the background.
High resolution: The lens produces sharp and detailed images, even at wide open aperture.
Rich and beautiful bokeh: The 13-bladed rounded diaphragm contributes to a smooth and pleasing bokeh effect, which is the quality of the out-of-focus areas in an image.
Fast and quiet autofocus: The lens uses a dual HLA (High-response Linear Actuator) autofocus system that is both fast and quiet.
Weather-sealed construction: The lens is dust- and splash-resistant, so you can use it in all weather conditions.
Lightweight design: For a fast f/1.2 lens, it is relatively lightweight at 740 grams (26.1 oz) for the Sony E-mount version and 745 grams (26.3 oz) for the Leica L-mount version.
