Sigma 16mm F1.4 DC DN, Contemporary, Nikon Z

Sigma 16mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary

The 16mm f/1,4 DC DN lens combines a comfortable wide-angle design with an ultra-fast maximum aperture, part of the "Sigma" series of modern lenses for use with "Nikon Z" mirrorless cameras. This lens features a bright f/1,4 maximum aperture, making it ideal for working in low light conditions, while also allowing for greater control over depth of field and selective focus control. The optical design uses multiple low dispersion and aspherical elements to control color fringing and various aberrations to ensure high brightness and clarity throughout the aperture range. Individual elements are also coated with a super multi-layer coating to suppress flare and ghosting for greater contrast and color fidelity in bright light. This lens also features a stepping AF motor, which ensures fast, quiet, and smooth focusing, suitable for both stills and video.

Part of the "Sigma Global Vision Series Contemporary line, this lens is designed to balance comfort and performance, combining a compact, lightweight design and versatile handling with exceptional optical performance.

The wide-angle prime lens is designed for APS-C format "Nikon Z-mount" mirrorless cameras, and its focal length is equivalent to 24 mm.

The bright maximum aperture of the f/1,4 is great for low light situations, and also allows for better control over depth of field and selective focus effects.

Two Special Low Dispersion (SLD) elements and three F Low Dispersion (FLD) elements reduce color fringing and chromatic aberrations for greater sharpness and color accuracy.

Two aspherical elements are used to limit distortion and spherical aberrations, and also help ensure greater overall sharpness and accurate rendering.

The lens elements are coated with a highly multi-layer coating to reduce lens flare and ensure images are contrasty and color-neutral, even in backlit conditions.

The stepping AF motor is useful for both photographers and videographers because it operates quickly, accurately, and almost silently.

The rounded nine-blade diaphragm contributes to a smooth and pleasing bokeh image.

The bayonet mount is made of brass for precision and durability. Additionally, the mount's rubber seal makes it dust and splash resistant.
