This is a very good lens no doubt. More so for the price. I'm a photography enthusiast and all those pictures were taken with this lens on the Sony ZVE-10 within less than a month of my getting into photography.

I'm very big on bokeh and this lens does perform - albeit not well enough for me. The bokeh is quite decent if the object in focus is close enough (although for portraits, your subject can feel invaded because of the proximity that will be required to get the best bokeh). From my use, I found that it has very unnoticeable to no chromatic aberration in almost all situations & it has a fair bit of distortion but it's nothing that can't be easily fixed in post-production if you are shooting raw.
The fact that it is a wide-angle lens means it's able to capture a lot at once as you can see in some of those nighttime pictures in a performance. That said, this is a very capable and fairly flexible lens. It can handle both wide-angle shots & night-time photography well with good results (although not the best) when taking portraits.
Because I'm big on portraits and would be primarily using it with my camera to record a human subject, I decided to return this go for its other sibling - the Sigma 30mm. I can expect better bokeh and portrait shots from that with similar night performance although poorer chromatic aberration overall. Nonetheless, even with the shortcomings of this lens, it is still a very good one and most definitely a great value for its price.

A new solution for mirrorless camera users. Combining F1.4 brightness in a compact body Introducing a high-performance, large-diameter wide-angle lens
Captured with the SIGMA 16mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary lens in EF-M mount by Filly Bonito-Brook
The new SIGMA 16mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary is the world’s first interchangeable lens for mirrorless Sony E-mount and Canon EOS M* cameras in the APS-C format to offer a 24mm focal length (35mm equivalent) and F1.4 brightness. The lens for Micro Four Thirds offers a 32mm focal length (35mm equivalent) with the same f-number of 1.4. This is the large-diameter wide-angle lens for which mirrorless camera users have been waiting.
Developed to feature a lightweight, compact package for everyday use, SIGMA DN lenses for mirrorless cameras deliver superior performance covering the key focal lengths. The new lens builds on the success of the 30mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary, which SIGMA released in 2016 as the first in a new series of prime lenses for mirrorless cameras. The 16mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary also combines F1.4 brightness with top-level optical performance.
* aprox 25.6mm for Canon EF-M fit

Diffraction MTFThere are two types of MTF chart. One considers the diffraction quality of light, which is called “Diffraction MTF”, and the other, “Geometrical MTF” does not. The quality of light appears in the diffracted light, and becomes more distinct as the F value gets bigger, resulting in lower image quality. Also, diffracted light exists at every aperture, which is why SIGMA has been releasing Diffraction MTF data from the beginning since it is very close to the actual image data. The readings at 10 lines per millimeter measure the lens’s contrast ability (red lines), repeating fine parallel lines spaced at 30 lines per millimeter measure the lens’s sharpness ability (green lines), when the aperture is wide open. |
Geometrical MTFThe advantage of using “Geometric MTF” data is that it is easy to measure and calculate since it does not consider the diffraction quality of light, yet it tends to show higher values in the graph than actual images. The readings at 10 lines per millimeter measure the lens’s contrast ability (red lines), repeating fine parallel lines spaced at 30 lines per millimeter measure the lens’s sharpness ability (green lines), when the aperture is wide open. |
Supplied AccessoriesPETAL TYPE LENS HOOD LH716-01* FRONT CAP LCF Ⅲ 67mm REAR CAP LCR Ⅱ *The lens hood cuts harmful rays that can negatively affect photographs while also minimizing reflectivity within the hood itself. The hood also features a rubber construction and a non-slip groove to make it easy to hold in a variety of shooting situations. |
SIGMA WR CERAMIC PROTECTOR 67mm (Optional)With many applications in aerospace and other industries, glass ceramic is an extremely tough type of crystallized glass that serves as the foundation for Clear Glass Ceramic. While featuring the high transmittance required of optical devices, this advanced new material combines greater hardness than chemically strengthened glass and greater flexibility than sapphire crystal glass. These qualities make Clear Glass Ceramic the ideal material for protective lens filters. |

Superb quality for price. Great Nighttime photography too.
This is a very good lens no doubt. More so for the price. I'm a photography enthusiast and all those pictures were taken with this lens on the Sony ZVE-10 within less than a month of my getting into photography. One big thing about this lens is that is unexpectedly very good in low light. Clearly, its very low aperture of f1.8 makes it collect much light and consequently have better nighttime performance but still, the images that this lens outputs at night are simply shockingly stunning. The only major challenge you can have with this at night is the dynamic range of your camera.I'm very big on bokeh and this lens does perform - albeit not well enough for me. The bokeh is quite decent if the object in focus is close enough (although for portraits, your subject can feel invaded because of the proximity that will be required to get the best bokeh). From my use, I found that it has very unnoticeable to no chromatic aberration in almost all situations & it has a fair bit of distortion but it's nothing that can't be easily fixed in post-production if you are shooting raw.The fact that it is a wide-angle lens means it's able to capture a lot at once as you can see in some of those nighttime pictures in a performance. That said, this is a very capable and fairly flexible lens. It can handle both wide-angle shots & night-time photography well with good results (although not the best) when taking portraits.Because I'm big on portraits and would be primarily using it with my camera to record a human subject, I decided to return this go for its other sibling - the Sigma 30mm. I can expect better bokeh and portrait shots from that with similar night performance although poorer chromatic aberration overall. Nonetheless, even with the shortcomings of this lens, it is still a very good one and most definitely a great value for its price.

Non è un semplice Obiettivo ma pura Arte.

Reviewed in Italy on April 29, 2023
Tutto è iniziato perchè mi serviva un Obiettivo tutto fare per la mia Sony A6400, un Obiettivo che fosse in grado di soddisfare ogni mia esigenza di Content Creator e Streamer cosi ho deciso di studiare con attenzione ogni possibile Obiettivo sul Mercato per decidere quale fosse il Miglior Acquisto possibile in Assoluto in termini di Qualità/Prezzo e Durabilità del Prodotto Stesso.
Ho preso cosi seriamente la cosa che ci ho impiegato un intero mese per completare le mie ricerche su ogni singolo obiettivo compatibile con la mia Sony A6400, studiando tutti gli Obiettivi Kit della A6400, ogni singolo Obiettivo Firmato Sony e tutti gli Obiettivi Custom di Aziende Importanti del Settore, ma nonostante io abbia letto centinaia di Recensioni su Siti Italiani ed Internazionali tra le poche costanti che vi erano in tutte le recensioni la costante più evidente era un nome che continuava a comparire, SIGMA.
Per chi non conoscesse l'azienda in questione la Sigma Corporation è un'azienda Giapponese fondata il 9 settembre 1961 a Tokyo da Michihiro Yamaki e produce Essenzialmente macchine fotografiche, obiettivi, flash e altri accessori Fotografici, se siete Fotografi Professionisti conoscete già l'Azienda in questione ma sono sicuro che anche i Neofiti ne avranno già sentito parlare poichè essa è una delle Aziende più rinomate al mondo per quanto riguarda temi quali Videomaking e Fotografia ed è sinonimo di indubbia affidabilità, qualità e professionalità Storica.
Dopo aver completato le mie ricerche ero finalmente giunto ad una conclusione, il mio Obiettivo sarebbe stato un SIGMA senza ombra di dubbio, ma un dubbio risolto ne ha fatto nascere uno ancora più grande ovvero " Va bene che deve essere un SIGMA, ma quale tra i tanti? ".
A questo dilemma avrei potuto rispondere relativamente facilmente, mi bastava capire esattamente per cosa volessi utilizzare l'Obiettivo e perchè, cosi ho iniziato a chiedermi esattamente cosa avrei fatto con il nuovo Obiettivo e quali progetti futuri avrei potuto realizzare grazie a quest'ultimo e all'improvviso sono arrivato senza nemmeno accorgermene ad un'immediata conclusione, avrei assolutamente preso un Grandangolare.
Una volta scelto la tipologia dell'Obiettivo SIGMA che avrei acquistato mi son ritrovato con un solo nome come possibile scelta, un Obiettivo che veniva lodato da chiunque lo avesse Acquistato con 5 stelle in ogni Sito esistente nel mondo, il SIGMA 16 mm f 1.4.
FINALMENTE sapevo cosa dovevo comprare, l'Obiettivo perfetto era prossimo ad essere mio ma non era cosi semplice da reperire ed il costo relativamente Basso essendo un simile Obiettivo era comunque una somma non semplice da affrontare per un ragazzo alle prime armi come il sottoscritto, cosi ho atteso qualche mese sperando ogni giorno di svegliarmi e trovare il SIGMA 16 mm F 1.4 scontato su Amazon, pronto ad essere Acquistato con Spedizione PRIME e per mia fortuna grazie al PRIME Day è stato proprio cosi. Non appena ho visto il SIGMA 16 mm scontato l'ho insta Acquistato senza nemmeno pensarci un istante, rendendo finalmente questo Obiettivo Leggendario definitivamente Mio.
Inutile dirvi che per un ragazzo che fa un'acquisto simile l'emozione è tanta e la sera prima che mi arrivasse il SIGMA 16 mm non ho chiuso occhio, pensando continuamente a tutte le cose che finalmente avrei potuto fare con un Obiettivo di simile Fama.
Appena sveglio ero in trepidante attesa, ho aspettato per ore che il corriere arrivasse, sperando con tutto me stesso che non mi arrivasse un Obiettivo rotto, difettoso di fabbrica o rovinato per qualsivoglia ragione arcana ma per mia fortuna Amazon non mi ha mai deluso in vita mia e non lo ha fatto neanche questa volta. Il Corriere è arrivato in perfetto orario, ha gentilmente consegnato il pacco dopo avermi chiamato a telefono per avvisarmi della consegna e si è dileguato per fare altre consegne augurandomi una buona giornata, ancora una volta Amazon aveva fatto un lavoro PERFETTO nella consegna, confermandosi assoluta Leader nel Settore per professionalità ed affidabilità assoluta, 10/10 come sempre.
Appena ricevuto il pacco avevo paura di aprirlo, infatti son rimasto a guardarlo per 3 orette circa senza avere il coraggio di aprirlo per non rimanerci male temendo di rovinare una giornata perfetta, ma conscio del fatto che era inevitabile mi son fatto coraggio ed ho aperto il Pacco.
SORPRESA! Il Pacco era in uno stato pessimo, distrutto in ogni sua for....scherzo. Il pacco era come logica volesse perfetto in ogni suo stato, sia Amazon che Sigma Corporation avevano impacchettato l'Obiettivo con estrema cura ed attenzione, infatti sia la Scatola esterna che il SIGMA 16 mm erano in perfetto stato senza nemmeno un graffio, YESSS!!!!
Da qui potrei scrivere un Libro su quanto dannatamente bello e divertente da utilizzare sia stato il SIGMA 16 mm ed anche ora che sto scrivendo questa recensione dopo mesi e mesi di utilizzo lo reputo ancora il Miglior Obiettivo sul mercato nonchè il Miglior Obiettivo che ho mai comprato in vita mia e ne ho acquistati un bel po prima che questo Capolavoro arrivasse nella mia collezione ma nessuno può competervi in modo alcuno.
So che di Obiettivi sul mercato se ne trovano tantissimi e che tantissimi sono anche i dubbi che vi assalgono durante l'acquisto di un prodotto simile ma se avete letto tutta la mia recensione arrivando fino a questo punto ( e vi ringrazio di cuore per il tempo dedicatomi) avrete capito già da soli che non vi è acquisto migliore, pertanto compratelo tranquillamente e fatelo con un sorriso perchè sarà un'acquisto stupendo di cui andrete assolutamente fieri ed orgogliosi.
Consiglio assolutamente l'acquisto. Non è un banale obiettivo, è un Capolavoro Multiuso con qualità costruttiva impeccabile che vi regalerà dei momenti di vita stupendi che potrete, grazie alla qualità visiva e resa cromatica dell'Obiettivo stesso condividere con chi vorrete, senza mai rimanere delusi del risultato finale. PROMOSSO!
