The lens comes with a front cap, a rear cap and a lens hood. The price is currently around 700 euros. This makes the Sigma lens 150 euros more expensive than its Sony counterpart from the G-Master series, which, however, is also somewhat slower with an open aperture of f/2.5. All in all, Sigma offers a very high-quality lens with the 50mm F2 DG DN, which is excellently suited to subjects of all kinds...
Thanks to its compact dimensions, the new Sigma lens is an unobtrusive yet very powerful solution for street or travel photography, for example. The high speed makes interesting free-form effects possible by playing with sharpness and blur.
