The Sigma 50mm F2 is a completely new lens made for mirrorless cameras. The aperture is a reasonable F2 and thanks to this and the Panasonic and Leica in-body stabilizer, the size and weight of the lens have been kept very under control.

The Sigma 50mm F2 DG DN is part of the I Series lenses, which Sigma calls a series of compact premium lenses. In addition to image quality, it also features an aperture control ring, a magnetic lens cover, and a metal construction with a brass bayonet. The lens is also made in Japan!

The lens features aperture control directly on the lens, which works in conjunction with the body's exposure programs. The lens' design could be described as retro-modern, with traditional elements but the performance and technology are in line with the Contemporary series. In addition, the lens has a good-feeling focus ring for manual focus, and there is a dedicated switch for adjusting the focus mode.

Autofocus is implemented using a fast and quiet STM motor.

The Sigma 50mm is a lens that can be recommended for those who shoot with a single lens tactic or as a second lens alongside a zoom. In addition to the sharpness of the edge drawing and minimal distortion, a major design point has been the bokeh, i.e. the drawing of areas that are out of focus. With this you can shoot landscapes and portraits, whether they are everyday recordings or professional images for demanding use.

A lens hood is included, as well as a magnetic quick-release lens cap. The lens is weather-sealed on the bayonet side.
