Product Features In Detail

The New Benchmark for Go-To Lenses

Fulfilling the concept of SIGMA's Art line at the highest level, this lens is a large-aperture standard lens guaranteed to deliver top performance. Delivering exquisitely balanced images with its beautiful bokeh effect, it sets the new benchmark for large-aperture standard lenses.

The Best 50mm F1.4 Performance In The History of Photography

Optical aberrations are minimized to achieve the very highest level of optical performance. Resolution is super crisp at the area and in focus, and the front and rear bokeh are silky-smooth. Its high resolution makes it very ideal for the high-megapixel era. 

All-New, All Premium Functionality

SIGMA has developed its own A1 MTF (modulation transfer function) measuring system. Applying this system, each lens is checked at their sole production site, the Aizu factory. In here, even the previously undetectable high-frequency details are now within their scope of quality control inspections. This allows them to deliver consistently high lens performance.

The Finest In Materials and Usability

The lens' refined, integrated design is made with the artist in mind. Each lens included in SIGMA's new Art line comes with a hood and high-quality rubberized connector, and a newly designed lens cap, plus an AF/MF switch. This makes for significantly better intuitive use and superior functionality.

Customizable Lens to Fit Every Need

For their new product lines, SIGMA has developed their own SIGMA Optimization Pro software, allowing users to update the lens firmware, adjust focus position, as well as other parameters. Attaching the lens to a SIGMA USB DOCK connected to the computer, the software provides various types of customization and adjustments like focus adjustment, firmware update, full-time MF mode change, as well as full-time MF operation timing customization.

Available Mount Conversion Service

SIGMA presents their new conversion service, available for the 50mm F1.4 DG HSM and their other SIGMA interchangeable lenses. Your current lens mount internal components may be converted, allowing you continued use of your favourite SIGMA lens even while using a different camera body. Because of this service, you can use your favourite years for many years, regardless of your choice of the camera system.
