The Sigma 16mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary is the world's first interchangeable lens for mirrorless Sony E-Mount cameras with APS-C format sensors, offering a field of view equivalent to a 24mm focal length in 35mm full-frame format and a maximum aperture of F1.4. In the Micro Four Thirds mount, the lens's field of view corresponds to a 32mm focal length in 35mm full-frame format, also providing an aperture value of F1.4. It is the high-aperture wide-angle lens that photographers with mirrorless cameras have been waiting for.
The DN lenses for mirrorless cameras feature a lightweight, compact design developed for everyday use, delivering outstanding performance across all key focal lengths. The 16mm F1.4 DC DN Contemporary builds on the success of the 30mm F1.4 DC DN Contemporary, which Sigma launched in 2016 as the first lens in a new series of prime lenses for mirrorless cameras. It combines an aperture of F1.4 with optical excellence.
The 16mm F1.4 DC DN Contemporary, which follows the same development concept as the Sigma 30mm F1.4 DC DN Contemporary, features a lens construction of 16 elements in 13 groups and is made from high-quality materials. This lens effectively minimizes optical aberrations and delivers excellent resolution even at wide open aperture and throughout the entire aperture range. The lens construction and stepping motor also provide smooth autofocus during video recording, and the mount is dust and splash resistant thanks to a sealing.
