The f/1.2 prime for Sony E

The SIGMA 50mm f/1.2 DG DN Art is a full-frame prime lens built for Sony E-mount cameras. It offers a maximum aperture of f/1.2 for exceptional low-light performance and shallow depth of field. The optical design uses four aspherical elements and Super Multilayer Coating to maintain high resolution from centre to edge. A 13-blade rounded diaphragm creates smooth, circular bokeh highlights.

Portrait and low-light specialists

Photographers who need the brightest available aperture for environmental portraits, astrophotography or video work will benefit from the f/1.2 design and HLA autofocus motor. The dust- and splash-resistant barrel and de-clickable aperture ring suit demanding professional use. Buyers who require zoom versatility or a lighter, smaller lens for all-day carry should consider a different focal length or maximum aperture.

Fixed 50mm focal length

This lens provides a single 50mm angle of view (46.8 degrees on full frame) with no zoom capability. The fixed perspective demands positioning by foot, which suits deliberate composition but limits framing flexibility in tight spaces. If your workflow requires variable focal lengths without changing lenses, this prime is not the right choice.
