About this item:
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. Developed to feature a lightweight, compact package for everyday use, SIGMA DN lenses for mirrorless cameras deliver superior performance covering the key focal lengths. For 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. 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. The optical system features a multitude of high-tech and high-end components, including three FLD glass elements, two SLD glass elements, and two moulded 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 nanometres, minimizing the onion ring bokeh effect that some aspherical elements produce and ensuring clear image quality throughout the frame.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful prime lens
Lovely lens, well built.. Nice bit of weight to it which suits me. Perfect for my FX30 APSC.. quite sharp and lovely bokeh.. wide aperture is great top. Not my first Sigma lens and definitely not the last either
5.0 out of 5 stars I am blown away- Panasonic G9 owner
I have numerous Panasonic Micro Four Thirds Lenses- the 50mm, the kit zoom and the expensive Lumix G X Vario 12-35 F2.8.I do a mixture of photos and video and like to try my hand at 'Cinematic' pieces.I have to admit to being a tad (very slightly its still a great lens) disappointed now with the 12-35 which is considered to be a go to lens for videography. It's good and has a constant F2.8 aperture but the autofocus seems to sometimes snap to something, then 'wobble' a bit. It effectively sometimes focus' then defocuses then focuses again. This is a a trait of the lens.This seems slower focusing than the Panny, in video. But its very smooth and doesn't seem to do that double focus issue. So you can be very close to the subject (this is also effectively a macro lens) and pan over it for example, and it smoothly transitions to the distance. This is great for the video I like to do.Not only that but the images are simply phenomenal. The Panasonic G X Vario is good, but its twice the price, and frankly does not look as good as this. There is something you cannot actually describe easily in words about the look of this lens which makes it look fabulous.There are similar, much smaller fast primes from both Panasonic and Olympus but they lack that 'extra something' in the image that this lens does. Its the 'magical' element that this lens has.Two downsides- its quite large (a bit bigger than my 12-35 G Vario but not massively so) as it was designed as an APC C lens. However I am sure the size is resultant in that extra depth to the image quality over its smaller rivals. It also does not have in built image stabilisation. The Panasonic has it in body, but is even better when working in tandem with lens stabilisation so I am going to have to be a bit more careful moving this one about and also maybe use the gimbal more.If you have a G5 or G9 though, this is the lens that shows that camera's potential. In fact with this on, and its very shalow depth of field, it is difficult really to find a camera shooting better quality video than a G9/ GH5 10 bit coupled with this Sigma.
5.0 out of 5 stars Very good quality
No issues with the product it's very simple to use and was in great condition, it was my first lens purchase and it makes for great videos
5.0 out of 5 stars If there is one lens you should have on your Sony APS-C camera... it is this one !
I Love This lens.However I am not a camera guy so I'm not sure of all the technical details.What I will tell you is that this lens is a monster in low light because of its f1.4.Also, it gets quite sharp too! Now on an APSC its more like a 22-24mm but it still gets decently wide enough for you to be using for vlogging.It doesnt have any zoom capabilities obviously as its a prime lens and its quite chunky - not as portable as one would hope. It has an electronic focus ring - as well as autofocus which is really fast and snappy. There's no stabilsation either, but catalyst browse will usually sort that out for you in post.It's perfect for streaming, vlogging, and general content creation.Really happy with it.
5.0 out of 5 stars Works better
It is my first time buying this. My friend recommended it but it works and delivers better than I expected.
5.0 out of 5 stars Low light lens
Have read quite a few reviews as to which lens to go for with regards to taking astrophotographic pictures. Decided to go for this lens due to good reviews and low f number.So, this was primarily bought to take pictures of the northern lights when the opportunity arises but I also liked the idea of having a good low light performing prime lens and upon purchasing, I decided to try and take some pictures of the recent comet.The picture enclosed is that of Neowise and edited on an iPhone 6s but everything else is from the camera directly.Although I haven’t had too much chance to play with it I have been encouraged by what I have seen- as others have mentioned the focus ring is very sensitive and some kind of banding to hold this in place may be needed- I did find that several of my photos weren’t focused correctly and I’m hoping that’s due to this and not a defect with the lens.Another point to mention is that it is a heavier lens and something to keep in mind.I believe, as with most astrophotography photos, a lot of work is done post processing images to really make them stand out- I have not got the software to do this yet but I am still relatively pleased with the initial photos. I am also fairly new to all this so I probably haven’t got the settings just right yet either but hoping this proves to be a valuable lens for my a6500.
4.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as I was expecting
Purchased for my Sony a6400, to use primarily for landscapes and architecture. I'd heard very good things about the lens so was keen to try it out.There's no doubt the build quality is excellent and focus operation is beautifully smooth, but it is a large and relatively heavy lens on the a6400.I tested the lens against my existing lenses; the little kit lens (Sony 16-50 f3.5-5.6) and also the Sony 18-135 f3.5-5.6, by shooting a series of varied photos (using tripod) and then comparing centre/edge details in each shot. I was hoping to see a clear improvement with the Sigma.What I found was that, yes the Sigma was sharp and produced lovely colours, but so too were the images from both the Sony lenses. In fact there was absolutely no discernible difference. All my shots were jpegs at f8 (as I normally shoot at this aperture) which does of course flatter most lenses. Wide open results may well have favoured the Sigma, but that is not relevant for my use.Naturally I returned the Sigma lens.So my finding suggest if you intend to mostly shoot landscapes and buildings etc with small apertures, you might as well stick with the Sony zoom lens(es). The qualities of this lens are related to bokeh and low light performance.One of my favourite lenses is my Sigma 150-600 which I use with my Canon EOS77D for wildlife. Just mentioned that to dispel any thoughts that I'm anti-Sigma!
5.0 out of 5 stars Fast and bright
This wide f/1.4 aperture excels in low light and allows for beautiful bokeh effects.

Lente de ótima qualidade
LENTE MUITO BOA
Produto de boa qualidade. Atendeu as minhas expectativas.
Amazing
I have had it for a year almost and its still working perfectly.
Fantastic lens for the price
Bottomline up front: This is a great, "wide angle" lens for a really nice priceTo be up front, I'm no professional photographer or videographer, so I may not be as critical as the professionals. But, I do know that with this lens, my Sony FX30 takes great video, and even pictures--at least to my eye. Since I have it on an APC-C sensor camera, I understand it's like having a 24mm full frame, but it's still "wide angle." It mounts perfectly and works well with my FX30. I use it primarily for talking head and POV tutorial videos, and it works great for these purposes. It is a bit "big" relative to some other lenses of similar focal lengths, and for my use cases, that's not an issue. The build looks and feels quality as well--it's a good looking lens! I'd definitely recommend if you're looking for a wide angle, fast lens from a known, reliable brand...for a very reasonable price!!Pros:- Works great with camera (Sony FX30 in my case)- Clear, sharp images- Fast aperture- Nice bokeh- Solid feel and buildCons:- Can feel a bit "big" compared to other similar lenses
