It's time to elevate your photography game with the SIGMA 16mm F 1.4 DC DN Contemporary Lens for Leica L. This lens, the first of its kind, is designed specifically for mirrorless Sony E-mount cameras in the APS-C format, offering a 24mm focal length (35mm equivalent) and a bright F 1.4 aperture. For Micro Four Thirds users, the lens provides a 32mm focal length (35mm equivalent) with the same F 1.4 brightness. This large-diameter wide-angle lens is a game-changer for mirrorless camera enthusiasts. It's developed with a lightweight, compact design for everyday use, yet doesn't compromise on superior performance.

The lens structure, composed of 16 elements in 13 groups, includes the finest materials to effectively minimize optical aberrations and deliver superb resolution at wide-open aperture and throughout the aperture range. The SIGMA 16mm F 1.4 DC DN Contemporary Lens is a part of the high-performance Contemporary line, featuring SIGMA's latest technologies. It's designed for optimal performance on cameras with APS-C image sensors ("DC") and cameras with a short flange back distance ("DN").

This lens is not just about superior image quality; it also offers smooth autofocus during video shooting, thanks to its optical design and stepping motor.

The lens design fully accommodates the Fast Hybrid AF of Sony E-mount cameras for super-fast autofocus functionality. Using face recognition AF results in consistent autofocusing on faces, even as the subjects move. The SIGMA 16mm F 1.4 DC DN Contemporary Lens also comes with a large lens hood to keep out harmful rays and minimize reflectivity within the hood itself. The lens hood features a rubber construction and a non-slip groove, making it easy to hold in various shooting situations.

It offers outstanding stability whether you're shooting handheld or with the camera placed on a surface. The high-precision, rugged brass bayonet mount combines high precision with rugged construction, contributing to the exceptional durability of the lens. The optical system of the lens, with 16 elements in 13 groups, features a multitude of high-tech and high-end components, including three FLD glass elements, two SLD glass elements, and two molded glass aspherical elements.
