The 30mm F1.4 is followed by the next in the series - the 16mm F1.4
The new SIGMA 16mm F1.4 DC DN - Contemporary is the world's first interchangeable lens for Sony mirrorless E-mount cameras with APS-C format sensors, offering an angle of view of a focal length of 24mm on the 35mm KB format and an aperture value of F1.4. In the Micro-Four-Thirds mount, the lens' angle of view is equivalent to a 32mm focal length lens on the 35mm KB format, and it likewise offers an F1.4 aperture value. It's the wide-angle, high-speed lens that mirrorless camera photographers have been waiting for.
SIGMA's DN lenses for mirrorless cameras feature a lightweight, compact body that is designed for everyday use and offers superior performance at all major focal lengths. This new 16mm F1.4 DC DN - Contemporary builds on the success of the 30mm F1.4 DC DN - Contemporary, which SIGMA released in 2016 as the first lens in a new line of fixed focal lengths for mirrorless cameras. It likewise combines the speed of F1.4 with optical excellence.
The 16mm F1.4 DC DN - Contemporary, which comes from the same development concept as the SIGMA 30mm F1.4 DC DN - Contemporary, features a lens construction of 16 elements in 13 groups and is made of high-quality materials. This Lens effectively minimizes optical aberrations and delivers excellent resolution even at wide open aperture and across the entire aperture range. The lens design and stepper motor provide smooth autofocus even when shooting video, and the mount is protected from dust and splashing water by a gasket.
About the Lens Designation
SIGMA lenses with the "DC" designation offer optimal performance on cameras with APS-C image sensors. Using a DC lens on a camera with a full-frame image sensor will result in vignetting. For optimal results, match the active image field of the sensor to the image circle of the Lens. SIGMA lenses with the "DN" designation offer optimal performance on cameras with a short flange focal length.

A new system for mirrorless cameras
Over the years, SIGMA has assembled an extensive range of fast fixed focal length lenses from wide-angle to telephoto. Now SIGMA is developing a range of interchangeable lenses for mirrorless cameras with lightweight and compact bodies for comfortable daily shooting, while delivering superior performance and covering the most important focal lengths.
Released in 2016 as the first lens in a new line of fixed focal length lenses for mirrorless cameras, the 30mm F1.4 DC DN - Contemporary combined F1.4 speed with optical excellence. To achieve this high speed in a compact Contemporary lens, SIGMA took on a variety of challenges, employing the latest optical design technologies and utilizing digital camera correction to further improve the optical quality of the Lens. While prioritizing the optical performance of the lens, SIGMA also developed a lightweight, compact body with stable AF that is truly easy to use.
Like the 30mm F1.4 DC DN - Contemporary, the 16mm F1.4 DC DN - Contemporary features SIGMA's latest technologies and offers F1.4 aperture while minimizing optical aberrations.
The first lens in SIGMA's line of fixed focal length lenses for mirrorless cameras was the standard 30mm F1.4 DC DN - Contemporary. It is now followed by the wide-angle fixed focal length 16mm F1.4 DC DN - Contemporary. In the future, SIGMA will add a telephoto lens to the series, making it a new complete system for photographers with mirrorless cameras.

Image quality that rivals that of our Art line lenses
With 16 elements in 13 groups, the optical system features a variety of high-tech and high-end components, including three FLD glass elements, two SLD glass elements, and two bare-pressed aspherical glass elements. The optical design minimizes optical aberrations and guarantees outstanding resolution even at wide open apertures and across the entire aperture range. In particular, the two aspherical lens elements have ultra-precise surfaces polished to tolerances below ten nanometers. This minimizes the so-called onion ring effect in the bokeh produced by some aspherical elements and ensures clear image quality across the entire frame. In addition, the structure of the optical system gently bends light to minimize sagittal coma and deliver optimal optical performance from the center of the image to the edges. The result is soft, round bokeh with even light distribution throughout the shot.
The stepper motor delivers excellent and quiet autofocus
The optical design and stepper motor provide smooth autofocus when shooting video. The lens design supports Sony E-mount cameras' Fast Hybrid AF for super-fast autofocus. Face detection AF keeps autofocus on the face even when the subject is moving.
Dust- and splash-proof design
The mount features a special seal that makes the Lens an excellent choice for shooting in a wide range of conditions.
Custom-fitted lens hood (included) to prevent distracting light from entering the lens
The lens hood blocks distracting light that can affect photos while minimizing reflections within the hood itself. The hood also features a rubber coating and anti-slip groove, making it easy to hold in a variety of shooting situations.
