    An amazing lens
    You can't go wrong with this lens it's so much more affordable over the 7 to 14 millimeter Panasonic lens. Or the Leica 8 to 16. Image quality is extremely Sharp. Excellent for astrophotography. As well as any low light. Great Street photography. Every image I take is extremely Sharp. Let's tons of light in. The quality of the lens is perfect. Weather-sealed. Focusing is dead on with my Panasonic g85. I have not used it on video yet I willprobably in the future. It's a beautiful piece of glass. Focusing ring in manual focus is smooth. This is a lens to get a great alternative for price and prime lenses.One thing you will learn with this lens it allows so much light in that a 15 stop ND filter is required. For long exposure daytime. Sometimes I throw a 5 stop in with it under super bright conditions making it 20 stops. I use a hundred mm by 100 mm square filtersThe two pictures or three pictures that I have are taken at sunset with no filters.

    5.0 out of 5 stars An absolutely stunning lens. No regrets
    Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2019
    Style: SingleVerified Purchase
    The media could not be loaded.
     Firstly, my only concern with a MFT lens is for video. I shoot canon for pics so this review is strictly in regard to this lens on a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K. The clip is from a non commercial behind the scenes promo I did for a friend. Whole thing is here pretty much all on this lens. https://youtu.be/AlH_zhQVgcI

    Specs:
    BMPCC 4K
    Sunrise
    Blackmagic Raw 3:1 constant bitrate (graded)
    60 fps
    ISO 1250
    F 1.4
    B + W 67mm #106 1.8 ND filter

    So review.... this lens is what I keep on my BMPCC 4K for run and gun setup.

    Pros:
    Extremely versatile
    Smooth creamy bokeh
    For me I like the size. MFT lenses tend to be too small for my fingers to operate smoothly.
    Because of size large focus ring is smooth has a good resistance and works well with tilta nucleus nano
    Just wonderful image quality

    Cons:
    Only thing I can think of is the electronic focus is not ideal for my uses but workable
    No IS but then it’d be double the price (I’d pay it for this quality and IS)

    I won’t speak to auto focus as the pocket 4k is made as a cinema camera it’s auto focus doesn’t operate (live)

    In conclusion l would buy this lens in a heartbeat. Because of it I’m seriously considering selling my other Panasonic primes and getting the full sigma set of these.

    Excellent lens. I am using this with my Panasonic GH5 for video & photos. The low light performance is great, and the images are very very sharp at f/2.8. Bokeh is soft and creamy. This is one of, if not the sharpest lens I own now. Build quality is fantastic. The glass and optics are flawless. Good auto focus. No complaints. If you’re looking for a sharp, fast, wide angle lens, this one needs to be in your camera bag.

    After struggling to get reduced depth of field with the Oly 12-40/2.8, and finding that my 50/1.4 Pentax SuperTak was too much, I picked up this lens. It is FANTASTIC for making online videos... shooting courses, for Zoom, YouTube, etc. Great (reduced) depth of field, much sharper at f/1.6 yet still blurs the background nicely. Perhaps, or probably, the Oly 17/1.2 is a better lens... but it's 3X the cost. Is it 3X better?

    It's lightweight. Great glass, but a plastic lens body unlike the Oly, and it's not weatherproof. But, if it's sitting behind a teleprompter it will be fine. If you want pro-looking home studio video on a Micro 4/3 camera, buy this lens and you are done.

    So I love my GH5 and GH4's, and I was hoping this lens would give me something wide enough for some range, but would also give me additional light (As we all know the GH4/5 are not lowlight cameras)
    So the Pros
    - Incredibly fast, and great in low light
    - Creamy Bokeh, nice orbs of light and soft
    - Sharp in the corners and center evenly at 2.0 or higher
    - between 3.2 - 5.6 this does a great job at sharpness
    - 16mm is wide enough for an MFT but we are still in the 32mm equiv range.
    - SBS this looks as good as some of my Zeiss Glass

    Cons
    - It's a Big Lens, and heavy
    - At .1.4 corners go soft, and vary minimal focus area (To be expected)
    - 16mm / 32mm is an odd focal length to work with, but has it's applications

    Overall I would say if you have the money and want a faster prime this is great. If you're looking for a Wide lens and don't want to do speed boosters and adapters you should look at 8mm - 10mm mft lenses (But don't expect it to be this fast) This lens has it's applications, it's just not the best for the type of Product Photography I'm currently doing. Would high recommend this if you're looking for a faster, medium focal length, and creamy bokeh mft lens.

    I've owned this lens on Sony E mount and Canon EF-M mount and this is just as consistent and sharp as all of the above. Wide open low light performance on my GH5 for photos and video.

    The more I use it, the more I like it. I was hesitant at first. Very inexpensive compared to so many other similar lenses, so I was hesitant. I think only the most critical eye could tell the difference in an image from this and a more expensive lens. Sure, it's not considered a "pro" lens, but I know pros that use it with great success-- and love it.

    La encargué para complementar mi Lumix G7. Este lente funciona a la perfección. Tengo un 25mm 1.7 que es muy bueno, pero este 16mm está perfecto para videos de bodas y vlogs.
    Lo monté en un Webill S y funciona sin problema.
    Se los recomiendo.

    5.0 out of 5 stars ottimo obiettivo per scattare a scarsa luminosità
    Reviewed in Italy on August 20, 2023

    dopo tante ricerche del mio primo obiettivo "prime" per la mia gh5 II ho finalmente optato per questo 16mm F1.4 (equivalente 32mm Full Frame) e che dire, qualità altissima, robustezza e materiali di ottima qualità. sigma non tradisce lo uso constantemente sia per video che per foto, quest'ultime in situazioni street da il meglio di se, magari in vicoli con poca luminosità si raggiungono risultati incredibili, poi per il prezzo proposto penso sia un must da avere nel corredo Micro quattro terzi.

    Obiektyw nie pochodzi z Polskiej dystrybucji, brak możliwości bezpłatnego przedłużenia gwarancji do 3 lat, wbrew temu co jest w opisie na stronie Amazon.
    Pozostaje tylko gwarancja Amazonu.
    PS. Z obiektywu jestem bardzo zadowolony, 1.4 robi swoje.
    Polecam !

    5.0 out of 5 stars Un grand obejectif de qualité pour un petit prix
    Reviewed in France on March 3, 2022

    Je suis un amateur de photos, depuis j'ai toujours utilisé les objectif d'entrée de gamme d'olympus qui sont très bien. Je ne peux pas avoir un oeil critique par rapport à la gamme pro. En tout cas cet objectif Sigma 16mm F1.4 pour M43 est le meilleur que j'ai dans tous les niveaux : Bokeh, peu de flare, piqué, AF etc... En plus je peux faire de la Macro et la distance de mise au point rapprochée est en-dessous de 10 cm (incroyable). A part les photos animalières et de sport quasiment je peux tout faire, l'angle focal est assez grand pour tout type de photos (rue, portrait, paysage, macro, intérieur). Je pense que son seul défaut c'est son poids et sa taille et c'est aussi un avantage pour me donner un air pro.

    Ik had een lens nodig die goed is met weinig licht, maar waarbij je wel veel ziet op kleine afstand. Dit is de lens, daarnaast ook prachtig beeld, voor zowel film als foto. Bestelling is ook goed gegaan, netjes optijd, top!
