Thornfield HouseSigma 50mm F1.4 DG HSM Art Lens for Nikon F (DSLR)
Our Price: £599.00
The Sigma 50mm F1.4 DG HSM Art for Nikon F is a fast full-frame standard prime for Nikon DSLRs. Sigma designed it to minimise aberrations and keep the corners bright, and it suits portraits, weddings, street and low-light work.
There are 13 elements in 8 groups, using SLD and aspherical glass to control colour fringing and distortion. Sigma's Super Multi-Layer Coating reduces flare and ghosting.
The Hyper Sonic Motor focuses quickly and quietly, with full-time manual override from the focus ring.
A nine-blade rounded aperture and the F1.4 maximum aperture give smooth, soft backgrounds for portraits.
It is made for Nikon F DSLRs such as the D850, D780 and D750. Sigma has discontinued this DSLR version, so check stock before you plan around it. It takes 77mm filters and works with Sigma's USB Dock.
This is for Nikon DSLR users who want a bright standard prime. The Sigma 35mm F1.4 DG HSM gives a wider view, and the Sigma 85mm F1.4 DG HSM is the dedicated portrait lens.

Wow is an under statement for this lens lovely and sharp on my Nikon D7100 mighty impressed only downside... wish it had Nikon's VR (Vibration Reduction) as my number of captured good shots has reduced somewhat lol. That said it lets lots of light in so fast shutter speeds usable case of learning to use it slightly differently to the Nikon own lenses. Overall 10/10 for its optics :-)
