## Description

Product Description 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. For optimal balance with light, compact camera bodies with a short flange back distance, SIGMA designed the new SIGMA 16mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary lens to be extremely compact. Moreover, the special design of the focus lens group allows fast and smooth AF performance for videography and more. The optical design and stepping motor deliver smooth autofocus during video shooting. The SIGMA 16mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary features SIGMA’s inner focus technologies, while lighter lens elements in the focus lens group make possible a more compact actuator. The optical system features a multitude of high-tech and high-end components, including three FLD glass elements, two SLD glass elements, and two moulded glass aspherical elements. This optical system minimizes optical aberrations and ensures outstanding resolution at wide-open aperture and throughout the aperture range. In particular, the two aspherical lens elements have ultra-high-precision surfaces polished to tolerances under 10 nanometres, minimizing the onion ring bokeh effect that some aspherical elements produce and ensuring clear image quality throughout the frame.

Review: I am blown away- Panasonic G9 owner - I have numerous Panasonic Micro Four Thirds Lenses- the 50mm, the kit zoom and the expensive Lumix G X Vario 12-35 F2.8. I do a mixture of photos and video and like to try my hand at 'Cinematic' pieces. I have to admit to being a tad (very slightly its still a great lens) disappointed now with the 12-35 which is considered to be a go to lens for videography. It's good and has a constant F2.8 aperture but the autofocus seems to sometimes snap to something, then 'wobble' a bit. It effectively sometimes focus' then defocuses then focuses again. This is a a trait of the lens. This seems slower focusing than the Panny, in video. But its very smooth and doesn't seem to do that double focus issue. So you can be very close to the subject (this is also effectively a macro lens) and pan over it for example, and it smoothly transitions to the distance. This is great for the video I like to do. Not only that but the images are simply phenomenal. The Panasonic G X Vario is good, but its twice the price, and frankly does not look as good as this. There is something you cannot actually describe easily in words about the look of this lens which makes it look fabulous. There are similar, much smaller fast primes from both Panasonic and Olympus but they lack that 'extra something' in the image that this lens does. Its the 'magical' element that this lens has. Two downsides- its quite large (a bit bigger than my 12-35 G Vario but not massively so) as it was designed as an APC C lens. However I am sure the size is resultant in that extra depth to the image quality over its smaller rivals. It also does not have in built image stabilisation. The Panasonic has it in body, but is even better when working in tandem with lens stabilisation so I am going to have to be a bit more careful moving this one about and also maybe use the gimbal more. If you have a G5 or G9 though, this is the lens that shows that camera's potential. In fact with this on, and its very shalow depth of field, it is difficult really to find a camera shooting better quality video than a G9/ GH5 10 bit coupled with this Sigma.
Review: Without question.... necessary! - Can't believe how this transforms video footage, far beyond any kit lens. For stills it's amazing also. My only gripe is that clearly the lens I purchased had been elsewhere prior to me getting it. The packaging had been opened and the lens focus ring had detritus on it. Bit disappointing but I needed the lens and can't deal with the hassle of sending it back for a replacement. The quality of the images is well worth the spend.

Amazing lens. For video this is great for wide shots and Vlogging. The auto focus is really good and nice blurred background.
