Sigma 16mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary Lens (Sony E Mount)
The Sigma 16mm f/1.4 DC DN is a high-performance, ultra-fast wide-angle prime lens engineered for APS-C format Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras. As an acclaimed entry in Sigma’s Global Vision Contemporary series, this lens masterfully balances mobility with elite optical performance. Delivering a highly desirable 24mm full-frame equivalent focal length, it stands as a go-to choice for landscape, architectural, street, and low-light astrophotography, as well as a premier choice for high-quality vlogging and content creation.

Ultra-Fast f/1.4 Speed & Premium Optical Build
Bright f/1.4 Maximum Aperture: The exceptionally fast f/1.4 aperture excels in demanding low-light environments, allowing you to shoot at lower ISO settings while granting superior, shallow depth-of-field control for striking subject isolation.

Advanced Dispersion Correction: The sophisticated internal configuration integrates two Special Low Dispersion (SLD) elements and three F Low Dispersion (FLD) elements. This advanced array aggressively mitigates color fringing and chromatic aberrations to produce highly accurate color fidelity.

Aspherical Precision: Features two precision aspherical glass elements to suppress geometric distortion, field curvature, and spherical aberrations, ensuring uniform center-to-edge sharpness even when shooting wide open.

Super Multi-Layered Coating: Individual lens elements are treated with a specialized multi-layer anti-reflective coating to minimize lens flare and ghosting. This guarantees deep image contrast and color neutrality when working under intense backlighting.

9-Blade Rounded Diaphragm: Built with a rounded nine-blade aperture structure to deliver an incredibly smooth, organic background blur (bokeh) with circular out-of-focus highlights.

Smooth Stepping AF Motor & Field Durability
Near-Silent Stepping AF Motor: Outfitted with a rapid stepping autofocus motor that delivers exceptionally quick, smooth, and near-silent tracking performance. The precise focus drive is highly optimized to benefit both high-speed still photography and quiet video tracking applications.

Weather-Sealed Brass Bayonet Mount: The lens mount is machined from solid brass to guarantee long-term alignment accuracy and rugged durability. Additionally, the mount features a integrated rubber gasket seal to provide specialized dust- and splash-resistance when working in changing weather conditions.

Condition Note
Missing Lens Hood: This lens is being sold without its original plastic lens hood. It includes the front and rear lens caps, and the lens itself is fully functional, delivering pristine, sharp optical performance.
