Sigma 16mm f1.4 DC DN Contemporary Lens - Sony E Mount

It is an amazing lens! Fully compatible with the Canon M50 with no need to purchase any sort of adapters. Just fits straight on.The picture quality is remarkable. At f1.4 it is super clear, cinematic and leaving a nice Bokeh.The quality of this lens is all metal! So it feels nice and you know it's HQ durable.Highly recommend.

I've given a full set of stars for this though I'm not entirety sure why I need to rate it's thickness. I use this with a Canon M50 as my setup for Zoom meetings and it is perfect, allowing a nice shallow depth of field with great low light performance. It's the heaviest of my M-series lenses but I can see this being on the camera most of the time. Great for landscape photography and a great YouTube vlogging lens too. The other night I tried astrophotography with it and the f1.4 meant I could keep the iso lower than I otherwise would have to this creating a really nice image, though a full frame camera would always win of course. I highly recommend this lens and I'm sure the other mount variants would be just as good - fast maximum aperture, precise focus and a great quality image.

I Love This lens.However I am not a camera guy so I'm not sure of all the technical details.What I will tell you is that this lens is a monster in low light because of its f1.4.Also, it gets quite sharp too! Now on an APSC its more like a 22-24mm but it still gets decently wide enough for you to be using for vlogging.It doesnt have any zoom capabilities obviously as its a prime lens and its quite chunky - not as portable as one would hope. It has an electronic focus ring - as well as autofocus which is really fast and snappy. There's no stabilsation either, but catalyst browse will usually sort that out for you in post.It's perfect for streaming, vlogging, and general content creation.Really happy with it.

I won't write too much here because this lens is thoroughly and extensively reviewed everywhere else. I just want to say it is a very good lens, a bit large but you get a lot of light from it and it's just stunning especially in low light or at night.

Lovely lens, well built.. Nice bit of weight to it which suits me. Perfect for my FX30 APSC.. quite sharp and lovely bokeh.. wide aperture is great top. Not my first Sigma lens and definitely not the last either

My initial reason for buying this lens was for wide angle portraits taking advantage of the f1.4 aperture, however, I've found it to be an incredibly versatile lens for landscapes, architecture, and videography - the latter being the biggest surprise. I'm using it on a Sony A6500 and the quality of pictures and video is outstanding. It is quite a big lens but it feels solid and is very well made. A great addition to any photographers arsenal.

I've had this lens for my Canon M50 camera for about 3 months now. I primarily use it for vlog-style videos. At 16mm on the crop sensor body, there is a 1.6 crop factor which equates to a 25mm focal length. Not to severe. I can easily handhold the camera in selfie-style and not fully fill the frame, in fact the subject remains sharp in the frame while the background has a nice blurry bokeh.With the camera in video mode, there's virtually no noise in Autofocus. The F1.4 aperture means i can get good images even in low light, and i can keep the ISO relatively low. It takes a neat image as well, landscapes for sure but also some portraits, as with any wide angled lens, keep the subject nearer the middle of the frame and you will keep the distortion to a minimum. I'm very happy with this lens. Sigmas glass is always very good, I also have a 35mm and 50mm in the Art series. Highly recommended

Purchased for my Sony a6400, to use primarily for landscapes and architecture. I'd heard very good things about the lens so was keen to try it out.There's no doubt the build quality is excellent and focus operation is beautifully smooth, but it is a large and relatively heavy lens on the a6400.I tested the lens against my existing lenses; the little kit lens (Sony 16-50 f3.5-5.6) and also the Sony 18-135 f3.5-5.6, by shooting a series of varied photos (using tripod) and then comparing centre/edge details in each shot. I was hoping to see a clear improvement with the Sigma.What I found was that, yes the Sigma was sharp and produced lovely colours, but so too were the images from both the Sony lenses. In fact there was absolutely no discernible difference. All my shots were jpegs at f8 (as I normally shoot at this aperture) which does of course flatter most lenses. Wide open results may well have favoured the Sigma, but that is not relevant for my use.Naturally I returned the Sigma lens.So my finding suggest if you intend to mostly shoot landscapes and buildings etc with small apertures, you might as well stick with the Sony zoom lens(es). The qualities of this lens are related to bokeh and low light performance.One of my favourite lenses is my Sigma 150-600 which I use with my Canon EOS77D for wildlife. Just mentioned that to dispel any thoughts that I'm anti-Sigma!
