Specifications

Price (US)	$849 US launch MSRP $849, stated verbatim in The Phoblographer's 2023-04-06 review ("At $849, it's about $450 less than Sony's G Master"). Sigma Corporation of America's store (sigmaphoto.com) currently shows a promotional "As low as $939" during an active sale ("Up to $120 off"), so the stable, widely-cited $849 launch MSRP is used as the reference US price rather than the transient sale figure.

Source: sigmaphoto.com (verified 2026-07-11) · corroborated by thephoblographer.com. Fetched Sigma Corporation of America's official product page (sigmaphoto.com) for the "50mm F1.4 DG DN | Art" (SKU 315, Edition A023), which confirmed the exact model and its full specs: Full Frame coverage, 14 elements/11 groups, 11 rounded diaphragm blades, 45cm minimum focus, 1:6.8 maximum magnification, 72mm filter, and Sony E-mount weight of 660g. The Phoblographer's dated review (2023-04-06) of the E-mount variant corroborated the model identity and specs (Mount: Sony E, 11 rounded blades, 1:6.8 reproduction ratio, max aperture 1.4, 72mm filters, full weather sealing, and explicitly "lacks stabilization") and stated the US launch price "$849" verbatim. Model identity was verified across both pages via the exact "DG DN | Art" designation, the A023 edition code, and the matching 14/11 optical formula, distinguishing it from the older 50mm F1.4 DG HSM DSLR lens.
