Achieve the look of full-frame prime lenses on your Nikon DX camera with the Sigma 50-100mm f/1.8 DC HSM Art. This lens provides an equivalent focal range of 75-150mm, a sweet spot for compression and subject isolation. Its ambitious optical construction consists of 21 elements, including three FLD (F Low Dispersion) and one SLD (Special Low Dispersion) element, which work together to produce incredible sharpness and virtually eliminate chromatic aberration, even when shooting wide open at f/1.8. Engineered for professional performance, it features a newly designed Hyper Sonic Motor (HSM) that is 30% slimmer than previous versions, allowing for a more streamlined body without sacrificing autofocus speed or torque. The internal zoom and focus system ensures the lens length never changes, providing a stable center of gravity that is perfect for gimbal use and video production. To complement its cinema-grade build, the lens includes a fixed, rotating tripod collar with 90-degree click stops for smooth transitions between landscape and portrait orientations. With a 9-blade rounded diaphragm for creamy, circular bokeh, this lens is a powerhouse for creative storytellers.
