The Sigma 50mm F2 DG is a premium quality lens with an expensive price tag, intended for photographers who want a smaller, lighter 50mm without compromising on quality. The build quality is excellent, with a solid, metallic design and good workmanship. However, the lens is slightly larger and heavier than other 50mm F lenses, and the lack of weather sealing and autofocus is a downside. The focus ring turns smoothly and responsively, making it suitable for video makers, and the lens performs well in single shot mode. The front filter is 58mm, and the lens does not have image stabilization. The lens provides high image quality on both full frame and APS-C cameras, with high contrast, minimal distortion, and good sharpness, but it has some issues with close-up image quality and chromatic aberration. Despite these drawbacks, the lens is recommended for those who appreciate premium quality and can afford the high price.
