A new large-aperture F1.4 wide lens from the Contemporary lineOffering an opportunity to experience the fun of shooting wide open, with F1.4 brightnessThe 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.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.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.A new system for mirrorless camerasFollowing the 30mm F1.4, the next in the series: the 16mm F1.4Over the years, SIGMA has built an extensive lineup of bright prime lenses ranging from wide-angle to telephoto. Now, for mirrorless cameras, SIGMA is developing a range of interchangeable lenses that feature a lightweight, compact package for convenient daily shooting while delivering superior performance and covering the key focal lengths.Released in 2016 as the first of a new series of prime lenses for mirrorless cameras, the 30mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary combined F1.4 brightness with top-level optical performance. In order to achieve this low f-number in a large-diameter Contemporary lens, SIGMA took on a wide variety of challenges, leveraging its latest optical design technologies, incorporating updated video capabilities, and utilizing in-camera digital correction to further improve the lens's optical quality. While prioritizing optical performance, SIGMA developed a lightweight, compact package with steady AF that is truly easy to operate.Like the 30mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary, the 16mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary features SIGMA's latest design technologies to offer F1.4 brightness while minimizing optical aberrations.A member of the high-performance Contemporary line, featuring SIGMA's latest technologiesFor optimal balance with light, compact camera bodies with a short flange back distance, SIGMA designed the new SIGMA 16mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary lens to be extremely compact. Moreover, the special design of the focus lens group allows fast and smooth AF performance for videography and more. This lens combines a compact design and comfortable operation while prioritizing outstanding image quality. Featuring SIGMA's latest technologies, this lens digitally corrects optical distortion.The stepping motor delivers excellent autofocus with quiet performance.The optical design and stepping motor deliver smooth autofocus during video shooting. The lens design fully accommodates the Fast Hybrid AF of Sony E-mount cameras for super-fast autofocus functionality. Using face recognition AF results in consistent autofocusing on faces, even as the subjects move.Combining compactness with outstanding optical performanceThe SIGMA 16mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary features SIGMA's inner focus technologies, while lighter lens elements in the focus lens group make possible a more compact actuator. Moreover, this lens offers outstanding stability whether the photographer is shooting handheld or has the camera placed on a surface. Structurally, the lens features materials and parts that contribute to its compact, lightweight structure. In summary, this is an unprecedented lens that combines outstanding optical performance with exceptional portability and usability.Large lens hood (supplied) to keep out harmful raysThe lens hood cuts harmful rays that can negatively affect photographs while also minimizing reflectivity within the hood itself. The hood also features a rubber construction and a non-slip groove to make it easy to hold in a variety of shooting situations.High-precision, rugged brass bayonet mountThe brass mount combines high precision with rugged construction. Its treated surfaces and enhanced strength contribute to the exceptional durability of the lens.Mount with dust- and splash-proof constructionThe mount features a special sealing to make the lens an excellent choice in a wide variety of conditions.Image quality rivaling that of our Art line lensesMinimizing sagittal coma flareWith 16 elements in 13 groups, the optical system features a multitude of high-tech and high-end components, including three FLD glass elements, two SLD glass elements, and two molded glass aspherical elements. This optical system minimizes optical aberrations and ensures outstanding resolution at wide-open aperture and throughout the aperture range. In particular, the two aspherical lens elements have ultra-high-precision surfaces polished to tolerances under 10 nanometers, minimizing the onion ring bokeh effect that some aspherical elements produce and ensuring clear image quality throughout the frame.In addition, the structure of the optical system gently bends light to minimize sagittal coma flare and deliver optimal optical performance from the center of the frame to the edges. The result is a smooth, round bokeh effect with ample light volume throughout the frame.Designed to minimize flare and ghostingFrom an early stage in the lens design process, flare and ghosting have been measured to establish an optical design resistant to strong incident light sources such as backlighting. SIGMA's Super Multi-Layer Coating reduces flare and ghosting to help photographers produce sharp and high contrast images even in backlit conditions. The included lens hood can be attached to block out extraneous light, which can have a negative effect on rendering performance.Bright prime functionality to experience photography at its bestA bright prime lens is the ideal way to experience the essence of the art of photography. Simply select a focal length that matches the image and enjoy complete control of the depth of field.The 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 bright F1.4 aperture. This is the large-diameter wide-angle lens for which mirrorless camera users have been waiting.Rounded diaphragmThe 9-blade rounded diaphragm creates an attractive blur in the out-of-focus areas of the image.New SIGMA GLOBAL VISION product lines are setting new benchmarks for image qualityEvaluation with SIGMA's own MTF measuring system: A1We used to measure lens performance with a Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) measuring system using conventional sensors. However, we have developed our own proprietary MTF measuring system (A1) using 46-megapixel Foveon direct image sensors. Even previously undetectable high-frequency details are now within the scope of our quality control inspections. All SIGMA 16mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary lenses are checked using this A1 system before they are shipped.46-megapixel Foveon direct image sensorThe 46 effective megapixel (4,800 x 3,200 x 3 layers) and 44 recording megapixel (4,704 x 3,136 x 3 layers) 23.5 x 15.7mm APS-C X3 direct image sensor captures all primary RGB colors at each and every pixel location, ensuring the capture of full and complete color.Using three silicon-embedded layers of photo detectors, stacked vertically to take advantage of silicon's ability to absorb red, green and blue light at different respective depths, it efficiently reproduces color more accurately, and offers sharper resolution, pixel for pixel, than any conventional image sensor. Since color moire is not generated, the use of a low-pass filter is not required, meaning light and color, generated by the 46-megapixel APS-C X3 direct image sensor is captured with a three-dimensional fee.Ultra-high precision and quality-all made in JapanWith only a few minor exceptions, all of SIGMA's manufacturing, including molds and parts, takes place under a single integrated production system in Japan. We are now one of the very few manufacturers whose products are truly made in Japan. We like to think our products are somehow imbued with the essence of our homeland, blessed as it is with clean air and water, and focused, hard-working people.We pride ourselves on the authentic quality of SIGMA products, born of a marriage between highly attuned expertise and intelligent, advanced technology. Our sophisticated products have satisfied professionals and lovers of photography all over the world because our manufacturing is based on genuine craftsmanship, underpinned by the passion and pride of our experts.

Used Sigma 16mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary Lens for Canon EF-M Cameras, Black undefined

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.

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

This is a top of the line product along with everything else they sell.

Such a great product

amazing lens so far. used it while walking a beach and could pull out details from the sky to the shells on the ground.

amazing lens for landscape

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 Lens

Wide lens, low aperture, reasonable price. This is my go to lens for tight spaces!

Love it!

Definitely glad I brought this lens it's change life. Great for capturing  buildings and indoor  volleyball games near the sideline

Fantastic

Love this lens! The lack of an aperture ring is no big deal.

Love

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.

Great wide lens for landscape photographer and video creators

Great wide angle lense! Very sharp and clear.

Great lens

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

Best APS-C wide angle

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.

Sigma 16

Very happy. Sharp and bright. Quality product.

Excellent

16mm

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.

Excellent value for the money

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.

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

Great depth of field and beautiful blurred background. Highly recommend as it brings in lots of light from the 1.4 setting.

Great Lens to Upgrade Sony A5100 Quality

An absolute incredible lens. Fast focus. Beautiful bokeh.

Must have lens

Land scap dream. But don't for get for street shot or model shot works wonders

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.

nice little lens

Fast shipping! And this thing takes amazing pics!

Sigma 16mm

Great for landscape

Great Piece of Gear and sharp too. In low light it was a blast to use! Highly Recommended!

Great lens for my Sony a6600 Camera and it paired really well with it. I was able to capture more of the frame and still have some depth to my work. Overall a knock out of a lens at an affordable price!

Love it! Great quality lens at a great price with fast shipping too! Amazing results - it even makes using Facetime more fun over the default webcam on the M1 MBPs

Amazing Lens

Perfect for my stream setup on the Sony alpha 5100 and when I do upgrade it?s still works with any sony e mount. I got the background blurt and always in focus with easy software setup.

Sony alpha 5100/6100 lens

Great lens especially in tight spaces with dark lighting.

Nice for event and night photography

I?m not a professional. This lease is great! Use for my wide shots and the video and images look. Great. Would recommend

Best Lense I?ve Purchased for my Canon , people keep asking me about my Lense and I recommend them all the time to purchase this , everything about this product is Beautiful.. Thank you Adorama :)

Immaculate!!!

Totally awesome lens for my A 6400. I?m in love with the creamy bokeh it produces and it is the sharpest lens I own so far with amazing results. Everything was packaged perfectly and arrived on time. I?m one happy customer. I have also ordered the Sigma 56mm 1.4 sony mount as well and can?t wait to try it out!!

Thank you,

Robert

Such an awesome lens!!!!

It's an amazing lens: colors, bokeh, sharpness. I have it on my full-frame Sony A7R3 for video conferencing.

It's not overhyped?the reviews on YT are accurate. It's sharp wide open.

And it's a perfect lens for video and stills.
