Sigma 16mm f/1.4 Contemporary DC DN Lens for L Mount

The16mm f/1.4 DC DN lens, part of Sigma‘s Contemporary series, integrates a comfortable wide-angle design with an exceptionally fast maximum aperture. It is specifically engineered for APS-C-format L-mount mirrorless cameras. With its impressive f/1.4 maximum aperture, this lens excels in low-light environments and offers enhanced control over depth of field, allowing for selective focus. The optical construction incorporates multiple low dispersion and aspherical elements, effectively minimizing color fringing and various aberrations, thereby ensuring high sharpness and clarity across the entire aperture range. Additionally, the individual elements are treated with a super multilayered coating to reduce flare and ghosting, resulting in improved contrast and color accuracy in challenging lighting situations. Complementing its optical features, this lens is equipped with a stepping AF motor that delivers rapid, quiet, and smooth focusing performance, making it suitable for both still photography and video recording.

• Within Sigma’s Global Vision series, the Contemporary line features a lens that strikes a harmonious balance between convenience and performance. It combines a compact and lightweight design with versatile handling, all while delivering impressive optical qualities.
• This wide-angle prime lens is specifically crafted for APS-C-format Leica L-mount mirrorless cameras, offering a focal length equivalent to 24mm.
• With a bright maximum aperture of f/1.4, this lens performs exceptionally well in low-light environments and provides enhanced control over depth of field, allowing for selective focus effects.
• To enhance clarity and color fidelity, the lens incorporates two special low dispersion (SLD) elements and three F low dispersion (FLD) elements, effectively minimizing color fringing and chromatic aberrations.
• The inclusion of two aspherical elements helps to reduce distortion and spherical aberrations, contributing to improved overall sharpness and accurate image rendering.
• A super multilayered coating has been applied to the lens elements to reduce lens flare and ghosting, resulting in imagery that is rich in contrast and color-neutral, even in challenging backlit situations.
• The stepping autofocus motor offers fast, precise, and nearly silent operation, benefiting both photographers and videographers alike.
• The rounded nine-blade diaphragm enhances the quality of bokeh, providing a smooth and aesthetically pleasing background blur.
• Constructed from brass, the bayonet mount ensures both accuracy and durability, while the rubber sealing in the mount design provides resistance to dust and splashes.
