High-Speed Wide-Angle Prime – Fast f/1.4 Maximum Aperture, 24mm Full-Frame Equivalent Focal Length, Three FLD & Two SLD Low-Dispersion Elements, Two Precision Aspherical Elements, Super Multi-Layer Coating, Fast and Quiet Stepping Autofocus Motor, Rounded 9-Blade Diaphragm, Brass Bayonet Mount with Dust- and Splash-Resistant Rubber Sealing, Dedicated Petal Lens Hood Included, Native APS-C Sony E-Mount (Excellent Condition)
The Sigma 16mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary is a high-speed, wide-angle prime lens engineered specifically for APS-C-format Sony E-mount mirrorless camera bodies. Delivering a 24mm full-frame equivalent field of view paired with an ultra-bright f/1.4 maximum aperture, this prime strikes a balance between compact portability and optical performance. Ideal for landscape photographers, architectural documentarians, street shooters, night-sky astrophotographers, and handheld content creators, it provides depth-of-field control and low-light capability across diverse shooting environments.
Its optical architecture features 16 elements arranged in 13 groups, incorporating three “F” Low Dispersion (FLD) elements, two Special Low Dispersion (SLD) elements, and two precision-molded aspherical elements. This configuration suppresses chromatic aberrations, color fringing, spherical distortion, and coma, ensuring edge-to-edge sharpness and clarity even when shooting wide open at f/1.4. Individual elements are treated with Sigma’s Super Multi-Layer Coating to minimize flare and ghosting, preserving micro-contrast and natural color fidelity in backlit or high-contrast scenes.
Autofocus is driven by a precision stepping motor that delivers quick, quiet, and smooth focus tracking, suitable for high-speed action stills and continuous video recording. Out-of-focus background elements are rendered with circular, natural blur thanks to a rounded 9-blade aperture diaphragm. Constructed with a durable brass bayonet mount and an integrated rubber gasket, the lens offers dependable dust- and splash-resistant weather protection for outdoor assignments.
