Sigma 50mm f/2 DG DN Contemporary Lens for L Mount Summary
With a fast f/2 aperture and classic ‘standard’ focal width, the Sigma 50mm f/2 DG DN Contemporary Lens for L Mount is a versatile prime for enthusiast and professional photographers who shoot with full-frame L mount cameras. The 9-blade rounded aperture allows you to capture stunning portraits with beautiful bokeh and the ability to separate your subject from distracting backgrounds. Sigma has employed high-quality optics in the optical design, which render excellent results that show minimal aberrations.
As the 9th model in the Contemporary range, the 50mm f/2 DG DN Sigma lens follows the trend with high build quality and a low 350g weight. This makes it ideal for travel and as a walk around lens, which is both practical and versatile for snap shots, street photography and portraits. Sigma has also used Super multi layer anti glare coatings for higher contrast when capturing backlit subjects, as well as a dust and moisture sealed brass bayonet L mount.
Sigma 50mm f/2 DG DN Contemporary Lens for L Mount in More Detail
Fast f/2 maximum aperture
The Sigma 50mm F2 DG DN lens features a wide f/2 maximum aperture, which enables it to create beautiful portraits with striking bokeh. With its compact size and 350g weight, this small lens is ideal for travel, street photography and general shooting. It is made in Japan to exacting standards, with high-quality SLD and aspherical glass elements, making an excellent upgrade for photography enthusiasts who want to improve the quality of their existing standard lens. The glass elements effectively minimise flare and ghosting in back-lit environments, while the Stepping Motor is compatible with high-speed AF on compatible full-frame L mount cameras.
Compact and robust design for travel
A dust and splash-proof mount has been fitted to help stop contamination from dust and water and the tactile knurled metal lens hood, focus ring and aperture ring improve grip. A covering between the aperture and focus ring helps finger placement when attaching and detaching the lens. A magnetic metal lens cap is included, which further improves ease of use and practicalities while out shooting. It pairs perfectly with the ultra wide angle 17mm f/4 DG DN Contemporary L mount Lens that was released simultaneously, as well as a host of other options available from Sigma.

Our Verdict
The Sigma 50mm f/2 DG DN Contemporary for L mount joins a growing number of Contemporary lenses for full-frame Leica L creators. A bright aperture, low weight and high-quality results make this prime a great choice for photography enthusiasts as well as professionals who are drawn to smaller and lighter gear without compromising on image quality.
Weighing in at just 350g, the 50mm f/2 DG DN delivers great results whilst being extremely portable, rendering beautiful bokeh and soft defocus areas to separate the subject. With a classic focal width the lens is ideal for portraits, street photography and for travel or as a walk around option to capture snapshots.
Sigma has included their Super Multi-Layer Coating to reduce flare and ghosting, while the solid brass L mount is dirt and moisture sealed to protect against the elements when shooting outdoors. L mount photographers benefit from the ability to switch between linear and non-linear focus ring settings, while the stepping motor works well with high-speed AF. If you’ve been shooting with a kit lens upgrading to this prime will help elevate your images due to a fast maximum aperture and superb results.
