Uncompromising Optical Performance
The Sigma 50mm f/1.4 DG DN Art Lens For Sony E-Mount contains 14 elements arranged in 11 groups, utilizing the latest optical design technology. It includes 3 aspherical lenses and 1 SLD glass element, effectively reducing aberrations such as astigmatism and field curvature. These aberrations cannot be corrected in-camera. Despite its wide aperture of F1.4, the lens prioritizes image formation performance on the image periphery, minimizing sagittal coma flare so that the lens can handle even the most challenging star and night scenes with demanding, severe point light source imaging, even when fully open. In addition to offering clear image quality without colour blur throughout the entire image circle, the large and natural bokeh beauty of F1.4 can be fully utilized in photography.
