The Sigma 16mm F1.4 DC DN Contemporary is a wide-angle, high-speed lens that mirrorless camera photographers have been waiting for.
DN lenses for mirrorless cameras feature a lightweight, compact body designed for everyday use and offer superior performance at all major focal lengths. The 16mm F1.4 DC DN Contemporary builds on the success of the 30mm F1.4 DC DN Contemporary, which Sigma released in 2016 as the first lens in a new line of fixed focal lengths for mirrorless cameras. It likewise combines F1.4 speed with optical excellence.
Fast fixed focal length to experience photography at its best
A fast fixed focal length lens is ideal for experiencing the essence of photography. Simply choose the focal length that suits the image idea and enjoy full control over depth of field.
Image quality that rivals that of our Art line lenses.
With 16 elements in 13 groups, the optical system features a variety of high-tech and high-end components, including three FLD glass elements, two SLD glass elements, and two bare-molded aspherical glass elements. The optical design minimizes optical aberrations and guarantees outstanding resolution even at wide open apertures and across the entire aperture range. In particular, the two aspherical lens elements have ultra-precise surfaces polished to tolerances below ten nanometers. This minimizes the so-called onion ring effect in the bokeh produced by some aspherical elements and ensures clear image quality across the entire frame. In addition, the structure of the optical system gently bends light to minimize sagittal coma and deliver optimal optical performance from the center of the image to the edges. The result is a smooth, round bokeh with even light distribution throughout the shot.
Stepper motor delivers excellent and quiet autofocus
The optical design and stepper motor provide smooth autofocus when shooting video. Face detection AF keeps autofocus on the face even when the subject is moving.
Dust- and splash-proof design.
The mount features a special seal that makes the lens an excellent choice for shooting in a wide range of conditions.
Specially adapted lens hood to prevent light from interfering with the image
The lens hood blocks distracting light that can affect photos while minimizing reflections within the hood itself. The lens hood also features a rubber coating and anti-slip groove, making it easy to hold in a wide variety of shooting situations.
