The new Sigma 16mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary is the world's first interchangeable lens for mirrorless Sony E-Mount cameras in APS-C format, offering a focal length of 24mm (35mm equivalent) and an aperture of F1.4. The lens for Micro Four Thirds provides a focal length of 32mm (35mm equivalent) with the same aperture of 1.4. This is the large-format wide-angle lens that users of mirrorless cameras have been waiting for.

Designed to provide a lightweight, compact package for everyday use, Sigma DN lenses for mirrorless cameras deliver superior performance that covers essential 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 the brightness of F1.4 with top-notch optical performance.

The 16mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary shares the development concept with the Sigma 30mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary and features a lens structure with 16 elements in 13 groups, made from the finest materials. This lens effectively minimizes optical aberrations and provides excellent resolution at wide open aperture and throughout the entire aperture range. The optical design and stepping motor ensure smooth autofocus during video recording, while the mount features a special sealing for a dust and splash-resistant structure.
