With its compact size, this popular classic focal length is perfect for portraits, street, and everyday photography. The lens has been designed to be used over a long period of time. Using the same technology that Sigma used to create the Sigma Cine lens range, the 50mm F2 DG DN Contemporary uses an all-metal construct that is robust and provides a premium feel. All these elements combine to create an exceptionally versatile lens that can be used in a variety of creative ways to create images with outstanding definitions. It is perfectly suited to new photographers looking to take the next step, professionals who require reliable lenses, and photographers who prefer smaller full-frame lenses that offer the best optical quality.

Standard Lens that Matches the Optical Performance Standards Set by the Sigma Contemporary Line of Lenses

The Sigma I series lenses are developed around the concept of ‘compact everyday lenses with outstanding image quality’ and the Sigma 50mm F2 DG DN Contemporary Lens for Sony E Mount is exactly that. It features high-quality optics in a compact size, perfect for a wide variety of photographic styles. Built from the ground up for mirrorless cameras, the Sigma 50mm F2 DG DN Contemporary is constructed using a single SLD glass element and three aspherical lens elements that are excellent at correcting various types of aberration for clear, high-definition images.

Perfect for Portrait Photography

The 50mm focal length is mostly known for portrait photography, so careful consideration was taken when designing the lens, focusing on the smoothness of the bokeh created by the F2 aperture. Its optical design gives smooth transitions from in-focus to out-of-focus areas and helps minimize flare and ghosting caused by backlit environments.

Expanding the I Series Lineup - Creating Pictures That Are Beyond Beautiful

The Sigma I series feature full-frame compatible lenses that offer new value to mirrorless systems. The combination of superb optical performance with a level of compactness that is perfectly suited to smaller and lighter modern mirrorless cameras will bring you new opportunities for a perfect shot. Sigma is aware that in today’s world users have a wide range of camera choices, especially with the increase in mobile phone ownership. But with many photographers looking for something more than something that simply captures images when they choose to own a camera and lens, I series lenses offer the ultimate combination of superb optical performance, outstanding usability, and compact form factor. Sigma’s excellence in development and production technologies has been built up since its founding in 1961 and became increasingly sophisticated with the introduction of the Sigma Global Vision brand in 2012. With this as a base, Sigma has given careful thought to the quality of the products, the feeling of using them, and the pleasure of owning them. This is how the I series was born.

Exceptional I Series Build Quality with A Compact Form-Factor

All I series lenses have an all-metal construction. The precision-cut aluminum parts not only give the barrel a sleek, stylish finish but provide superb durability that improves the quality of the entire product. Metal materials are also used in internal structures that slide with the operation ring for added robustness. These high-precision components crafted with Sigma’s cutting-edge metalworking technology are also used in Sigma’s Cine Lens line-up for professional cinematographers and provide a tactile, ergonomic feel that makes the lens a pleasure to use. A smooth hairline cover ring is used between the focus and aperture rings to act as a finger hold when attaching and detaching the lens.
