Mixing a comfortable wide-angle design with an
ultra-fast maximum aperture, the 16mm f/1.4 DC DN is part of Sigma's
Contemporary series of lenses and is designed for use with FUJIFILM
X-mount mirrorless cameras. Characterized by its bright f/1.4 maximum
aperture, this lens is adept at working in low-light conditions and also
affords increased control over depth of field for selective focus
control. The optical design makes use of several low dispersion and
aspherical elements, which control colour fringing and various
aberrations in order to provide high sharpness and clarity throughout
the aperture range. Individual elements also feature a Super Multi-Layer
Coating to suppress flare and ghosting for greater contrast and colour
fidelity when working in strong lighting conditions. Benefitting the
optical assets, this lens also sports a stepping AF motor for quick,
quiet, and smooth focusing performance that suits both still photography
as well as video applications.
As part of the Contemporary line within Sigma's
Global Vision series, this lens is designed to achieve a balance between
convenience and performance, and meshes a compact, lightweight build
and versatile handling with notable optical attributes.
Wide-angle prime is designed for APS-C-format FUJIFILM X-mount mirrorless cameras and provides a 24mm equivalent focal length.
Bright f/1.4 maximum aperture excels in low-light
conditions and also affords increased control over depth of field for
achieving selective focus effects.
Two Special Low Dispersion (SLD) elements and three
F Low Dispersion (FLD) elements reduce colour fringing and chromatic
aberrations in order to achieve greater clarity and colour accuracy.
Two aspherical elements are used to limit
distortion and spherical aberrations and also contribute to greater
overall sharpness and accurate rendering.
A Super Multi-Layer Coating has been applied to
lens elements in order to minimize lens flare and ghosting and
contribute to producing contrast-rich and colour-neutral imagery, even
in backlit conditions.
A stepping AF motor benefits both photographers and videographers with its fast, precise, and near-silent performance.
Rounded nine-blade diaphragm contributes to a smooth and pleasing bokeh quality.
The bayonet mount is constructed from brass for
ensured accuracy and durability. Additionally, rubber sealing is
incorporated in the mount design to render it dust- and
splash-resistant.
