Thornfield HouseSigma 50mm F2 DG DN Contemporary Lens for Sony E
Our Price: £579.00
The Sigma 50mm F2 DG DN Contemporary for Sony E is a compact full-frame standard prime from Sigma's all-metal I series. At 345g it keeps an a7 IV, a7C II or a7R V small for street, travel, family and everyday photography.
There are 11 elements in 9 groups, including one SLD and three aspherical elements, and a nine-blade rounded aperture for smooth backgrounds.
The barrel and aperture ring are metal, and a magnetic metal lens cap comes in the box.
A quiet stepping motor handles stills and video, and supports face and eye detection.
The manual aperture ring falls naturally under the fingers, and the 58mm filter thread is shared with the Sigma 35mm F2.
This is for photographers who want a light, well-made 50mm for everyday use. The Sigma 50mm F1.4 DG DN is the faster professional option, and the Sigma 65mm F2 DG DN gives a slightly longer view for portraits.
Also available for L-Mount.

The F2 is about half the weight and much smaller. The F1.4 gathers twice the light and is fully dust- and splash-resistant.
The 50mm is the more general-purpose view. The 65mm is a little tighter, which flatters faces and isolates subjects more.
Yes. In APS-C crop mode it gives a field of view similar to a 75mm lens on full frame.
