SIGMA I series lenses are developed around the concept of "Compact everyday lenses with outstanding image quality" and the SIGMA 50mm F2 DG DN | Contemporary is exactly that. It features high-quality optics in a compact size. The 50mm F2 DG DN | Contemporary is constructed using a single SLD element and three aspherical lens element that are excellent at correcting various types of aberration for clear, high-definition images.

The 50mm focal length is mostly known for portrait photography, so careful consideration was taken when designing the lens, focusing on the smoothness of the bokeh created by the F2 aperture. Its optical design gives smooth transitions from in-focus to out-of-focus areas, and helps minimize flare and ghosting caused bby backlit environments. The quiet stepping motor provides quick, reliable autofocusing for both stills and video.
