  • Excellent budget-friendly lens
Style: SONY E
The Sigma 16mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary Lens has been a fantastic addition to my Sony setup. It fits perfectly and delivers beautiful, sharp images with rich color and great depth of field. For a lens at this price point, the photo quality is truly impressive. It performs like something much more expensive. It is a bit on the bulky and heavier side compared to other lenses in this range that I own, but that’s a small trade-off for the clarity and low-light performance it offers. Whether for everyday photography or creative shots, it’s a solid, budget-friendly investment that consistently produces professional-looking results. Definitely worth the buy. ... show more

  • Superb quality for price. Great Nighttime photography too.
Style: SONY E
This is a very good lens no doubt. More so for the price. I'm a photography enthusiast and all those pictures were taken with this lens on the Sony ZVE-10 within less than a month of my getting into photography. One big thing about this lens is that is unexpectedly very good in low light. Clearly, its very low aperture of f1.8 makes it collect much light and consequently have better nighttime performance but still, the images that this lens outputs at night are simply shockingly stunning. The only major challenge you can have with this at night is the dynamic range of your camera. 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. ... show more

  • Almost New? Feels Brand New — Amazing Lens
Style: SONY E
The media could not be loaded. Hi! I bought the Sigma 16mm f/1.4 “like new” and it arrived in perfect condition, in its original box and looking completely unused. I mounted it on my camera with no issues, and the video quality improvement was noticeable right away. I’m a content creator and so far, I’m very happy with it. Highly recommended, especially if you’re looking for great low-light performance and a professional look from the start. ... show more

  • Fantastic 16mm Prime for a6500
Style: SONY E
This was my third lens after the Sony 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 kit lens and the Sony 35mm f/1.8. Wow, what an upgrade. This is a solid and incredibly flexible lens. It's pretty bulky compared to the a6500, but it still handles pretty well and isn't too heavy. My only real complaint is that the focus ring which, while buttery smooth and responsive, is almost too large. It takes up way too much space on the lens barrel and is very easily bumped. I have to hold the camera a little differently than I'm used to when I'm wearing this lens so I'm not constantly messing up my focus. Maybe this is just a me problem, but it's worth keeping in mind. I stick to manual focus for the most part, but I can confirm that AF works on this lens, and it works well. Very fast, and very accurate. I can't tell a difference between it and my Sony lenses. It's not stabilized, obviously, but between the wide angle and the 6500'a IBIS, camera shake is not something you need to worry about with this combo. I did a lot of research before buying this and it's my opinion that there is no better wide angle lens for emount. Sony's offerings are cheaper, but you get what you pay for. There are pricier options, but they're not worth the extra cost. This lens is a perfect balance and I don't see myself ever outgrowing it. 2020-11-30 EDIT: Wow I love this lens so much. This and my Zeiss 24mm f/1.8 are the only lenses I use anymore. If I even suspect that I'll be shooting in less-than-ideal lighting conditions, I reach for the Sigma 16. Between the wide-angle and the huge aperture, this thing handles so well in low light it blows my mind. I do a lot of urban exploration and I'm always taking this lens in dark dusty places and so it has plenty of scuffs and scratches by this point (I put a big scratch on the front lens element this summer, sad, but you can't even tell unless I stop down to f/11) but it still works perfectly. I love that it's a weather-sealed lens, because I inevitably end up getting it covered in dust and sprayed with water, but it's such a trooper I've never had a problem. Brought it into some deep dank caves this weekend, and it was right at home. ... show more
