Sigma Contemporary 16mm f/1.4 DC DN 16mm
Its f/1.4 maximum aperture and 405g weather-sealed build make it a standout low-light wide-angle prime for Sony APS-C cameras. The stepping AF motor provides silent, smooth focus for video, while 2 aspherical and 5 ED elements maintain corner-to-corner sharpness even at f/1.4. This lens is best for portrait and professional shooters needing a durable, fast 24mm-equivalent lens with strong optical performance.
