Our take on the Sigma 16mm F1.4 DC DN Contemporary Lens (Sony E Mount)

The Sigma 16mm F1.4 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 suits low light and shallow depth of field, and the optical design uses three FLD, two SLD and two aspherical elements to keep edges sharp and color fringing low. It is larger and heavier than a kit zoom but cheaper than Sony's fast wide primes, and owners rate its sharpness and build highly. It suits vloggers, street and landscape shooters, and anyone wanting a bright wide lens without stepping up to full frame.

Questions and answers

Is the Sigma 16mm F1.4 good for vlogging?
Yes. The 24mm equivalent view fits a face and background at arm's length, and the fast aperture helps indoors. The quiet stepping motor keeps autofocus noise out of the audio.
Does it work on full-frame Sony cameras?
It is an APS-C lens. On a full-frame E-mount body it works in crop mode, which cuts resolution and gives a narrower view.
Does it have image stabilization?
No. It relies on the camera's in-body stabilization, so pair it with a stabilized body for handheld video.
How does it compare with the Sony 16mm f/2.8 pancake?
The Sigma is much larger but far brighter at f/1.4 and sharper across the frame. The Sony is smaller and lighter but slower and softer at the edges.
What is in the box?
The lens, front and rear caps, a lens hood and a soft case.
Is it weather-sealed?
Yes. It has a weather-sealed TSC construction with a mount gasket, though full sealing depends on the camera body.
