The Sigma 16mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary is a fast wide prime for Sony E-mount APS-C cameras, giving a 24mm full-frame equivalent view. Its f/1.4 aperture makes it a strong low-light and shallow-depth-of-field lens, and the stepping motor keeps autofocus smooth and quiet for video. Build is dust- and splash-resistant, and the 16-element, 13-group design holds sharpness wide open. It is the widest of Sigma's f/1.4 DC DN trio, so it suits landscape, street, vlogging and indoor work where a standard zoom would be too slow.

Owners and reviewers rate the 16mm f/1.4 highly for sharpness wide open, fast and quiet autofocus, and solid weather-sealed build. Most criticism centers on its size and weight for a crop-sensor prime and on vignetting at f/1.4.
The Sigma 16mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary is a prime lens for APS-C mirrorless cameras with a Sony E mount. It has a 24mm focal length in 35mm equivalent terms and a maximum aperture of f/1.4. The compact, lightweight body is made for everyday use, and the large aperture suits low light and depth-of-field control.
The optical design has 16 elements in 13 groups. It is built to minimize optical aberrations and to keep resolution high at wide-open aperture and across the aperture range. Super Multi-Layer Coating reduces flare and ghosting in backlit conditions, and the included lens hood blocks extraneous light.
A stepping motor and inner focus design give smooth autofocus during video shooting. The lens works with the Fast Hybrid AF of Sony E-mount cameras, and face recognition AF keeps focus on faces as subjects move. The brass bayonet mount is built for precision and durability, and its special sealing makes the lens dust- and splash-proof.
