Sigma 50mm F1.4 CL DG: how small it is, and how its new RDD autofocus works
Sigma's first CL lens packs f/1.4 into 56 mm and 375 g. A to-scale size comparison with other 50s, the new RDD autofocus explained, and what it means for video.
A lens shapes the look more than the camera behind it. We cover new primes, zooms, anamorphics and cine lenses with the details that matter for moving images: focus breathing, autofocus motors, de-clicked apertures, filter threads, weight on a gimbal and how a lens renders skin, flares and out of focus areas.
Where we can, we put numbers side by side, like our to-scale size comparisons, so you can judge a lens before you hold it.
