Product details

The Sigma 16mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary is the world's first interchangeable lens for Sony E-Mount mirrorless 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 are characterized by 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 released in 2016 as the first lens in a new series of prime lenses for mirrorless cameras. It combines the brightness of F1.4 with optical excellence.

The 16mm F1.4 DC DN Contemporary, which shares 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 apertures and throughout the entire aperture range. The lens design and stepping motor also provide smooth autofocus during video recording, and the mount is dust and splash resistant due to a sealing.

  • PositiveEinfache Bedienung, schneller Autofokus und eine sehr gute Bildqualität sorgen für ansprechende Weitwinkelaufnahmen.
  • NegativeDas Sigma wird ohne Hardcase oder Transporttasche geliefert. Ein etwas größerer Lieferumfang wäre wünschenswert.

Das Sigma 16mm F1,4 DC DN I Contemporary erfasst mit einem Bildwinkel von 83,2 Grad Gebäude, Plätze und Innenräume schön raumgreifend, ohne starke Verzeichnungen zu produzieren. Es ist eine preisgünstige, lichtstarke und leistungsfähige Alternative zu Fujifilm-Weitwinkel-Objektiven.

  • PositiveDer größte Pluspunkt des Objektivs ist sein sehr gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis. Auch bei Handhabung und Verarbeitung kann man nicht meckern.
  • NegativeBei Offenblende zeigt sich das Objektiv deutlich weicher, als seine maximale Leistung vermuten lässt. Aber bereits Abblenden um einen Lichtwert hilft.

Canon-EOS-M-Fotografen finden in dem neuen Sigma-Objektiv eine hochinteressante Alternative für die Weitwinkelfotografie. Das Objektiv überzeugt mit hoher Leistung und einer sehr guten Verarbeitung. Die Integration in das EOS-M-System ist mit dem schnellen Autofokus kein Problem.
