Sigma 50mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art Lens for Nikon F

The Nikon F mount Sigma 50mm f/1.4 DG HSM Lens is a fast standard-length prime designed to achieve high optical performance through the incorporation of both three Special Low Dispersion glass elements and one molded glass aspherical element. These elements coupled with an advanced optical design work to minimize sagittal coma flare and chromatic aberrations in order to provide high image sharpness and clarity. The lens’ large diameter and floating system also help to correct for vignetting to ensure maintained peripheral brightness. A Super Multi Coating has been applied to lens elements too to reduce flare and ghosting for higher contrast and color fidelity. A Hyper Sonic AF Motor along with an optimized AF algorithm produces quiet smooth and fast autofocus performance that benefits this lens’ use in a wide variety of situations. This AF motor also permits full-time manual focusing control for refined precision by simply turning the focus ring at any time. Sigma Global Vision – Art As part of the Art line within Sigma’s Global Vision series this lens’ is designed to achieve truly notable optical performance and is ideally suited for creative and artistic applications. Molded Glass Aspherical Element This lens has been designed using an advanced optical structure to achieve both high resolution and sharpness along with an aesthetic out-of-focus quality for greater subject separation. A molded glass aspherical element corrects for sagittal coma flare and enables full use of the fast f/1.4 maximum aperture with maintained sharpness and clarity. Special Low Dispersion Glass Elements Three SLD Special Low Dispersion glass elements have been incorporated within the lens design to correct for axial chromatic aberration throughout the entire focusing range. This helps to ensure maintained image sharpness clarity and contrast regardless of focus point or aperture setting. A rounded nine-blade diaphragm helps to produce an attractive out-of-focus quality. The lens is constructed using a Thermally Stable Composite TSC material along with traditional metals for greater precision and use in wide temperature variations. The outside of the lens barrel is also engraved with the year of production. The bayonet mount is constructed from brass for ensured accuracy and durability. The included lens hood is fitted with a rubber connection for a secure fit. This lens is compatible with the optional Sigma USB Dock for fine-tuning different lens characteristics and updating its firmware.
