Overview

The Sigma 50mm F2 DG DN Contemporary offers excellent build quality with an all-metal construction and smooth, tactile controls. Optically, it is very sharp and contrasty even wide open, with generally pleasing bokeh. Weaknesses include a lack of custom buttons and weather sealing, and a minimum focus distance of 45cm. It is compact but slightly heavy. Best suited for street and travel photographers seeking a high-quality, compact 50mm f/2 lens at a competitive price.
