SIGMA 16mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary Canon RF Mount

16mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary
A wide angle, wide aperture and high performance

After the 30mm F1.4, and in the same vein: the 16mm F1.4

The new SIGMA 16mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary is the first lens to offer APS-C cameras in the Sony E system a focal length equivalent to 24mm (at 24x36) with F1.4 brightness. In Micro Four Thirds mount, the focal length is equivalent to 32mm (in 24x36) with the same F1.4 brightness. It really is the bright wide angle lens that users of these cameras have been waiting for.
Designed to be both light and compact for everyday use, SIGMA DN lenses for mirrorless cameras provide superior performance at main focal lengths. This new lens builds on the success of the 30mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary, the first ultra-bright lens for hybrids released by SIGMA in 2016. The 16mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary combines a maximum aperture of F1.4 with a very high optical performance.
Based on the same concept as the SIGMA 30mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary, the 16mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary is composed of 16 elements in 13 groups and uses very high quality materials. Its optical formula minimizes various aberrations and ensures very high resolution from full aperture. Its optical design and stepper motor ensures continuous focus in video, and the bayonet has a seal against dust and runoff.

The very large opening to practice photography at its best

A luminous fixed focal length is the best way to experience photography in its artistic dimension. Once the focal length has been chosen, all you have to do is enjoy the perfect control of the depth of field.

Image quality that rivals that of the Art line

With 16 elements in 13 groups, the optical formula employs a wide variety of innovative and premium components, including three elements in FDL glass, two in SLD glass and two aspherical molded lenses. This formula minimizes optical aberrations and ensures impressive resolution from full aperture. The two aspherical lenses benefit from ultra-high precision polishing with a tolerance of less than 10 nanometers, thus minimizing the risk of an "onion ring" effect in the bokeh that certain aspherical lenses can produce and ensuring a great homogeneity of the field. Finally, the structure of the optical formula directs the light rays so as to minimize the "flare" of sagittal coma and restores optimal optical performance from the center to the edges of the image. The result was a soft, round bokeh effect, with even brightness across the frame.
