Questions & Answers

MIGUEL I : Does anyone know if this lens is good for infrared photography?  I am shopping for an infrared converted Sony A6000 but need a lens for it.  Some lenses produce a hot spot when used with an infrared filter or on a converted camera.
AUTHENTIC E : Is it 16mm on a full frame Sony?LOI N : No. This lens is for Sony aps-c e-mount cameras.ERIC W : The lens is for APS-C, so it won't be able to use your entire full frame sensor. I don't have a full frame camera, but I think you can switch to some APS-C mode that uses part of your sensor and still get the 16mm.ANDREW R : Focal length is 16mm regardless of sensor size. This lens is specified for use on APS-C bodies, as such the image circle is not large enough to cover full frame.
Shopper : Auto focus?Alvaro R : AF on this lens is very accurate, almost as good as a native sony lens, I pair this sigma 16mm on my a6500 with excellent results.DAVID S : Yes - Autofocus works well on Sony Alpha Mirrorless cameras such as the A6500, 6400, and 6300XAVIERY MEL T. S : It has auto focus and you can do manual focus too.ERIC W : Yes on my Sony E-mount APS camera (a5100). Very quick too, relative silent, but not silent enough to use the builtin mics for video.PAUL C : On the a6500 the AF is superb.Kenneth S : Yes, of course.Nels H : Yes, for Sony E at least.Scott C : Yes

Good lens, but Sony ZV-E10 II hasn't resolved the error message I continue to get when I attach the lens.

It's a nice lens, but my issue isn't necessarily the lens itself but an error I get when I try to use it with my Sony ZV-E10 II. I'm debating returning it or just keeping it in hopes Sony resolves the issue so I can use the lens.

Great Lens

The Sigma 16mm f/1.4 DC DN for Nikon Z is a light weight prime lens that works well for both photo and video. I've been using it mostly for event photography, mainly to capture wide event setups and decor and it has been a great addition to my lens kit. I'd also recommend for anyone shoot real estate as well.

Great wide lens for landscape photographer and video creators

I constantly use this lens for my YouTube videos. It has great wide lens and the quality is amazing. I love the F1.4, and for talking head videos, I do not need big softbox lights to create a soft light look. The lens produces great bokeh. The lens is very light. The only downside is the lens is a little bit too big compared to other lenses with the similar focal length. However, with it's price point and what you get out of this, I highly recommend this lens for APSC photographers and video creators.

Best APS-C wide angle

This Sigma has been a staple for years, and with good reason. It's very sharp, very fast, and relatively cheap. I would still recommend this over the newer Sony ultra wide lenses unless you need the zoom, extra wide view, or weight saving. This is a bit of a heavy lens, but handheld on an a6400 it's really not that bad. This lens has great uses for architecture, landscape or wide angle astrophotography

Sigma 16

Great lens! I am a new photographer, and this lens was recommended on youtube by many people. Hefty and solid feel, but doesn't feel so heavy on my current camera (Sony ZV-E10). Fairly large in size, but it doesn't bother me with the photos I take.

Excellent value for the money

For the money, this is one of the best lenses you can buy for a Sony APS-C camera. I would argue that pros and amateurs alike would find this highly useful in the lens collection. It's super sharp; I've used it for real estate photography as well as vacation pictures.

Don't be afraid of APS-C crop mode on Panasonic S5, awesome lens

Excellent lens, sale price was awesome. Panasonic S5 handles 4K crop mode fine, use this lens and have a wide F1.4 lens. I prefer shooting it at F1.6 or F1.8, slightly stopped down it's a beautiful image. Overall sharpness is excellent, and decent with flare.

Nice little lens. I didn't realize that it was an APS-C lens but my S5 auto crops to it and it looks to have about a 24mm view. I'll be using it for night photography.

About Sigma 16mm f/1.4

PRO REVIEW by Dan Gold, Photographer

"I am constantly finding practical uses for my Sigma 16mm f/1.4. It's been the only lens on my Sony Alpha a6000 for a while! It's perfect for street photos, landscapes, and interiors. The f/1.4 has been a life saver for some darker inside shots or night photos."

sigma

Shoot Wide Open, With F1.4 Brightness.

The new SIGMA 16mm F1.4 DC DN / Contemporary is the world's first interchangeable lens for mirrorless Sony E-mount cameras in the APS-C format to offer a 24mm focal length (35mm equivalent) and F1.4 brightness. The lens for Micro Four Thirds offers a 32mm focal length (35mm equivalent) with the same f-number of 1.4. This is the large-diameter wide-angle lens for which mirrorless camera users have been waiting.

sigma

Lightweight, Top-Level Performance.

Developed to feature a lightweight, compact package for everyday use, SIGMA DN lenses for mirrorless cameras deliver superior performance covering the key focal lengths. The new lens builds on the success of the 30mm F1.4 DC DN / Contemporary, which SIGMA released in 2016 as the first in a new series of prime lenses for mirrorless cameras. The 16mm F1.4 DC DN / Contemporary also combines F1.4 brightness with top-level optical performance.

sigma

Sharing its development concept with the SIGMA 30mm F1.4 DC DN / Contemporary, the 16mm F1.4 DC DN / Contemporary features a lens structure with 16 elements in 13 groups and includes the finest materials. This lens effectively minimizes optical aberrations and offers superb resolution at wide-open aperture and throughout the aperture range. The optical design and stepping motor deliver smooth autofocus during video shooting, while the mount features a special sealing for a dust- and splash-proof design.

Features.

  • Bright prime functionality to experience photography at its best
  • Image quality rivaling that of our Art line lenses
  • The stepping motor delivers excellent autofocus with quiet performance.
