A new solution for mirrorless camera users. Combining F1.4 brightness in a compact body Introducing a high-performance, large-diameter wide-angle lens
Captured with the SIGMA 16mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary lens in EF-M mount by Filly Bonito-Brook
The new SIGMA 16mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary is the world’s first interchangeable lens for mirrorless Sony E-mount and Canon EOS M* 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.
* aprox 25.6mm for Canon EF-M fit

Diffraction MTFThere are two types of MTF chart. One considers the diffraction quality of light, which is called “Diffraction MTF”, and the other, “Geometrical MTF” does not. The quality of light appears in the diffracted light, and becomes more distinct as the F value gets bigger, resulting in lower image quality. Also, diffracted light exists at every aperture, which is why SIGMA has been releasing Diffraction MTF data from the beginning since it is very close to the actual image data. The readings at 10 lines per millimeter measure the lens’s contrast ability (red lines), repeating fine parallel lines spaced at 30 lines per millimeter measure the lens’s sharpness ability (green lines), when the aperture is wide open. |
Geometrical MTFThe advantage of using “Geometric MTF” data is that it is easy to measure and calculate since it does not consider the diffraction quality of light, yet it tends to show higher values in the graph than actual images. The readings at 10 lines per millimeter measure the lens’s contrast ability (red lines), repeating fine parallel lines spaced at 30 lines per millimeter measure the lens’s sharpness ability (green lines), when the aperture is wide open. |
Supplied AccessoriesPETAL TYPE LENS HOOD LH716-01* FRONT CAP LCF Ⅲ 67mm REAR CAP LCR Ⅱ *The 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. |
SIGMA WR CERAMIC PROTECTOR 67mm (Optional)With many applications in aerospace and other industries, glass ceramic is an extremely tough type of crystallized glass that serves as the foundation for Clear Glass Ceramic. While featuring the high transmittance required of optical devices, this advanced new material combines greater hardness than chemically strengthened glass and greater flexibility than sapphire crystal glass. These qualities make Clear Glass Ceramic the ideal material for protective lens filters. |

Bright prime functionality to experience photography at its best
A 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 and Canon EOS M 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.
Designed to minimize flare and ghosting with a rounded diaphragm creates an attractive blur.
The 9-blade rounded diaphragm creates an attractive blur in the out-of-focus areas of the image.
From 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.
Outstanding optical performance and build quality
The 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.
The mount features a special sealing to make the lens an excellent choice in a wide variety of conditions.
*Except for Canon EF-M mount
High-precision, rugged brass bayonet mount
The brass mount combines high precision with rugged construction. Its treated surfaces and enhanced strength contribute to the exceptional durability of the lens.

I'm very big on bokeh and this lens does perform - albeit not well enough for me. The bokeh is quite decent if the object in focus is close enough (although for portraits, your subject can feel invaded because of the proximity that will be required to get the best bokeh). From my use, I found that it has very unnoticeable to no chromatic aberration in almost all situations & it has a fair bit of distortion but it's nothing that can't be easily fixed in post-production if you are shooting raw.
The fact that it is a wide-angle lens means it's able to capture a lot at once as you can see in some of those nighttime pictures in a performance. That said, this is a very capable and fairly flexible lens. It can handle both wide-angle shots & night-time photography well with good results (although not the best) when taking portraits.
Because I'm big on portraits and would be primarily using it with my camera to record a human subject, I decided to return this go for its other sibling - the Sigma 30mm. I can expect better bokeh and portrait shots from that with similar night performance although poorer chromatic aberration overall. Nonetheless, even with the shortcomings of this lens, it is still a very good one and most definitely a great value for its price.

Nonetheless, even with the shortcomings of this lens, it is still a very good one and most definitely a great value for its price.
My primary purpose for it is mostly going to be real estate photography. It’s a beautifully wide angle without a ton of distortion - compared to my old 18mm, this one actually seemingly has less. I had a 14mm that was just a little too wide and a 20 that was not wide enough. Definitely think this one is the middle ground I’ve been envisioning.
I will say it is the heaviest lens I own, but that doesn’t bother me at all since I use a tripod for most of my work. I actually like how durable it feels.
The bokeh is delicate and soft and it’s very cool that it gets all the way up to 1.4 vs 1.8. But the biggest seller for me on this is how SHARP it is. Unbelievably crisp. I’m so happy I invested in it. Sigma did some incredible work again. If you’re on the fence, get the lens.
One of the things I love most about this lens is its exceptional optical quality. The images captured are sharp, with excellent contrast and vivid colors. The lens produces sharp images, even in low-light conditions, which is a testament to its impressive f/1.4 aperture.
The build quality of the lens is also top-notch. It feels very sturdy in hand, and it's clear that it's built to last. The lens mount is made of metal, which gives me confidence that it won't wear out easily.
The lens is also lightweight and compact, making it easy to carry around and travel with. Its autofocus is also accurate and quick, which makes it a reliable choice for capturing fast-moving subjects.
Overall, I can confidently say that the Sigma 16mm lens is a must-have for any photographer who loves capturing wide-angle shots. It's a high-quality lens that produces exceptional images, and its build quality is excellent. I would highly recommend this lens to anyone looking for a reliable wide-angle lens. It's a five-star product that has never let me down.

Il n’est pas si imposant que ça, je le trouve même assez discret et pas lourd par rapport aux autres optiques Sony que j’ai en ma possession. Assez sharp il offre un beau piqué. L’autofocus est bon mais pas au même niveau que sur les objectifs de la marque, mais il fait le taf et personnellement je ne le trouve pas bruyant. J’adore le fait qu’il ne déforme pas l’horizon et qu’il soit aussi lumineux. Je suis impatient de m’en servir en tournage.
Tutto è iniziato perchè mi serviva un Obiettivo tutto fare per la mia Sony A6400, un Obiettivo che fosse in grado di soddisfare ogni mia esigenza di Content Creator e Streamer cosi ho deciso di studiare con attenzione ogni possibile Obiettivo sul Mercato per decidere quale fosse il Miglior Acquisto possibile in Assoluto in termini di Qualità/Prezzo e Durabilità del Prodotto Stesso.
Ho preso cosi seriamente la cosa che ci ho impiegato un intero mese per completare le mie ricerche su ogni singolo obiettivo compatibile con la mia Sony A6400, studiando tutti gli Obiettivi Kit della A6400, ogni singolo Obiettivo Firmato Sony e tutti gli Obiettivi Custom di Aziende Importanti del Settore, ma nonostante io abbia letto centinaia di Recensioni su Siti Italiani ed Internazionali tra le poche costanti che vi erano in tutte le recensioni la costante più evidente era un nome che continuava a comparire, SIGMA.
Per chi non conoscesse l'azienda in questione la Sigma Corporation è un'azienda Giapponese fondata il 9 settembre 1961 a Tokyo da Michihiro Yamaki e produce Essenzialmente macchine fotografiche, obiettivi, flash e altri accessori Fotografici, se siete Fotografi Professionisti conoscete già l'Azienda in questione ma sono sicuro che anche i Neofiti ne avranno già sentito parlare poichè essa è una delle Aziende più rinomate al mondo per quanto riguarda temi quali Videomaking e Fotografia ed è sinonimo di indubbia affidabilità, qualità e professionalità Storica.
Dopo aver completato le mie ricerche ero finalmente giunto ad una conclusione, il mio Obiettivo sarebbe stato un SIGMA senza ombra di dubbio, ma un dubbio risolto ne ha fatto nascere uno ancora più grande ovvero " Va bene che deve essere un SIGMA, ma quale tra i tanti? ".
A questo dilemma avrei potuto rispondere relativamente facilmente, mi bastava capire esattamente per cosa volessi utilizzare l'Obiettivo e perchè, cosi ho iniziato a chiedermi esattamente cosa avrei fatto con il nuovo Obiettivo e quali progetti futuri avrei potuto realizzare grazie a quest'ultimo e all'improvviso sono arrivato senza nemmeno accorgermene ad un'immediata conclusione, avrei assolutamente preso un Grandangolare.
Una volta scelto la tipologia dell'Obiettivo SIGMA che avrei acquistato mi son ritrovato con un solo nome come possibile scelta, un Obiettivo che veniva lodato da chiunque lo avesse Acquistato con 5 stelle in ogni Sito esistente nel mondo, il SIGMA 16 mm f 1.4.
FINALMENTE sapevo cosa dovevo comprare, l'Obiettivo perfetto era prossimo ad essere mio ma non era cosi semplice da reperire ed il costo relativamente Basso essendo un simile Obiettivo era comunque una somma non semplice da affrontare per un ragazzo alle prime armi come il sottoscritto, cosi ho atteso qualche mese sperando ogni giorno di svegliarmi e trovare il SIGMA 16 mm F 1.4 scontato su Amazon, pronto ad essere Acquistato con Spedizione PRIME e per mia fortuna grazie al PRIME Day è stato proprio cosi. Non appena ho visto il SIGMA 16 mm scontato l'ho insta Acquistato senza nemmeno pensarci un istante, rendendo finalmente questo Obiettivo Leggendario definitivamente Mio.
Inutile dirvi che per un ragazzo che fa un'acquisto simile l'emozione è tanta e la sera prima che mi arrivasse il SIGMA 16 mm non ho chiuso occhio, pensando continuamente a tutte le cose che finalmente avrei potuto fare con un Obiettivo di simile Fama.
Appena sveglio ero in trepidante attesa, ho aspettato per ore che il corriere arrivasse, sperando con tutto me stesso che non mi arrivasse un Obiettivo rotto, difettoso di fabbrica o rovinato per qualsivoglia ragione arcana ma per mia fortuna Amazon non mi ha mai deluso in vita mia e non lo ha fatto neanche questa volta. Il Corriere è arrivato in perfetto orario, ha gentilmente consegnato il pacco dopo avermi chiamato a telefono per avvisarmi della consegna e si è dileguato per fare altre consegne augurandomi una buona giornata, ancora una volta Amazon aveva fatto un lavoro PERFETTO nella consegna, confermandosi assoluta Leader nel Settore per professionalità ed affidabilità assoluta, 10/10 come sempre.
Appena ricevuto il pacco avevo paura di aprirlo, infatti son rimasto a guardarlo per 3 orette circa senza avere il coraggio di aprirlo per non rimanerci male temendo di rovinare una giornata perfetta, ma conscio del fatto che era inevitabile mi son fatto coraggio ed ho aperto il Pacco.
SORPRESA! Il Pacco era in uno stato pessimo, distrutto in ogni sua for....scherzo. Il pacco era come logica volesse perfetto in ogni suo stato, sia Amazon che Sigma Corporation avevano impacchettato l'Obiettivo con estrema cura ed attenzione, infatti sia la Scatola esterna che il SIGMA 16 mm erano in perfetto stato senza nemmeno un graffio, YESSS!!!!
Da qui potrei scrivere un Libro su quanto dannatamente bello e divertente da utilizzare sia stato il SIGMA 16 mm ed anche ora che sto scrivendo questa recensione dopo mesi e mesi di utilizzo lo reputo ancora il Miglior Obiettivo sul mercato nonchè il Miglior Obiettivo che ho mai comprato in vita mia e ne ho acquistati un bel po prima che questo Capolavoro arrivasse nella mia collezione ma nessuno può competervi in modo alcuno.
So che di Obiettivi sul mercato se ne trovano tantissimi e che tantissimi sono anche i dubbi che vi assalgono durante l'acquisto di un prodotto simile ma se avete letto tutta la mia recensione arrivando fino a questo punto ( e vi ringrazio di cuore per il tempo dedicatomi) avrete capito già da soli che non vi è acquisto migliore, pertanto compratelo tranquillamente e fatelo con un sorriso perchè sarà un'acquisto stupendo di cui andrete assolutamente fieri ed orgogliosi.
Consiglio assolutamente l'acquisto. Non è un banale obiettivo, è un Capolavoro Multiuso con qualità costruttiva impeccabile che vi regalerà dei momenti di vita stupendi che potrete, grazie alla qualità visiva e resa cromatica dell'Obiettivo stesso condividere con chi vorrete, senza mai rimanere delusi del risultato finale. PROMOSSO!

Non appena ho visto il SIGMA 16 mm scontato l'ho insta Acquistato senza nemmeno pensarci un istante, rendendo finalmente questo Obiettivo Leggendario definitivamente Mio.
Inutile dirvi che per un ragazzo che fa un'acquisto simile l'emozione è tanta e la sera prima che mi arrivasse il SIGMA 16 mm non ho chiuso occhio, pensando continuamente a tutte le cose che finalmente avrei potuto fare con un Obiettivo di simile Fama.
Appena sveglio ero in trepidante attesa, ho aspettato per ore che il corriere arrivasse, sperando con tutto me stesso che non mi arrivasse un Obiettivo rotto, difettoso di fabbrica o rovinato per qualsivoglia ragione arcana ma per mia fortuna Amazon non mi ha mai deluso in vita mia e non lo ha fatto neanche questa volta. Il Corriere è arrivato in perfetto orario, ha gentilmente consegnato il pacco dopo avermi chiamato a telefono per avvisarmi della consegna e si è dileguato per fare altre consegne augurandomi una buona giornata, ancora una volta Amazon aveva fatto un lavoro PERFETTO nella consegna, confermandosi assoluta Leader nel Settore per professionalità ed affidabilità assoluta, 10/10 come sempre.
Appena ricevuto il pacco avevo paura di aprirlo, infatti son rimasto a guardarlo per 3 orette circa senza avere il coraggio di aprirlo per non rimanerci male temendo di rovinare una giornata perfetta, ma conscio del fatto che era inevitabile mi son fatto coraggio ed ho aperto il Pacco.
SORPRESA! Il Pacco era in uno stato pessimo, distrutto in ogni sua for....scherzo. Il pacco era come logica volesse perfetto in ogni suo stato, sia Amazon che Sigma Corporation avevano impacchettato l'Obiettivo con estrema cura ed attenzione, infatti sia la Scatola esterna che il SIGMA 16 mm erano in perfetto stato senza nemmeno un graffio, YESSS!!!!
Da qui potrei scrivere un Libro su quanto dannatamente bello e divertente da utilizzare sia stato il SIGMA 16 mm ed anche ora che sto scrivendo questa recensione dopo mesi e mesi di utilizzo lo reputo ancora il Miglior Obiettivo sul mercato nonchè il Miglior Obiettivo che ho mai comprato in vita mia e ne ho acquistati un bel po prima che questo Capolavoro arrivasse nella mia collezione ma nessuno può competervi in modo alcuno.
So che di Obiettivi sul mercato se ne trovano tantissimi e che tantissimi sono anche i dubbi che vi assalgono durante l'acquisto di un prodotto simile ma se avete letto tutta la mia recensione arrivando fino a questo punto ( e vi ringrazio di cuore per il tempo dedicatomi) avrete capito già da soli che non vi è acquisto migliore, pertanto compratelo tranquillamente e fatelo con un sorriso perchè sarà un'acquisto stupendo di cui andrete assolutamente fieri ed orgogliosi.
Consiglio assolutamente l'acquisto. Non è un banale obiettivo, è un Capolavoro Multiuso con qualità costruttiva impeccabile che vi regalerà dei momenti di vita stupendi che potrete, grazie alla qualità visiva e resa cromatica dell'Obiettivo stesso condividere con chi vorrete, senza mai rimanere delusi del risultato finale. PROMOSSO!
