Product Description

Compact and Versatile 50mm Prime

Ideal for portraits, street photography, and everyday shooting, the Sigma 50mm f/2 DG Contemporary Lens combines refined optical performance and fast autofocus within a sleek, lightweight design.

A staple focal length for photographers, this 50mm lens offers a natural perspective and a bright f/2 aperture that delivers excellent low-light performance and creative control over depth of field—all in a highly portable form. It’s an exceptional everyday companion for environmental portraits, detailed landscapes, and isolating subjects in complex scenes.

Part of Sigma’s Contemporary line, the lens measures approximately 2.75 x 2.75 inches and weighs just over 12 oz, ensuring superb portability without sacrificing image quality or speed. The internal focusing system and stepping AF motor deliver quick, silent, and precise focusing for both still and video applications.

Its optical design features one SLD element and three aspherical elements for enhanced sharpness and minimal aberrations, while a Super Multi-Layer Coating reduces flare and ghosting. The rounded 9-blade diaphragm produces smooth, pleasing bokeh, and the dust- and splash-resistant construction with a brass bayonet mount ensures lasting durability.

Sigma I-Series Excellence

The Sigma I-Series lenses are crafted for full-frame mirrorless cameras, balancing top-tier performance with elegant compactness. These lenses combine outstanding optics with a premium, all-metal construction inspired by Sigma’s Cine lens lineup. Precision-cut aluminum components provide a refined, durable finish, while internal metal parts add strength and reliability.

Thoughtful design touches—such as knurled aperture and focus rings, an intuitive AF/MF switch, and an aperture ring with an ‘A’ position for quick access to aperture priority—enhance the shooting experience.

Each I-Series lens includes both a standard plastic cap and a magnetic metal lens cap for a sleek, convenient attachment method, compatible with the optional CH-11 Magnetic Cap Holder.
