The Sigma 16mm f1.4 Contemporary lens is a beautifully engineered lens, the minute you take it out of its box you know that you have a quality piece of glass. It is surprisingly long for a 16mm wide angle lens but when you consider the construction of the lens elements it is no surprise. It is also relatively heavy compared to say the 16mm Sony f2.8 pancake lens and when paired with the Sony A6000 series cameras it looks more like a telephoto lens. That aside the image quality from this lens is more than spectacular particularly when used wide open at f1.4. If you are into your lowlight photography or videography, then this lens is the “king” on both the Sony E mount and the Micro Four Thirds mounts. It is relatively good value for what you are getting and I could not recommend it highly enough.Read full review

Well, It is a sharp lens. Ability to have F/1.4 gives you lot more flexibility when you want to shoot in low light. Stop it down to F/2.8 or F/4 and you have excellent sharpness across the frame. I was a little worried that it may be on the heavy end, but once you put it on the camera - no problem at all. I tried the lens on the full frame Sony A7R II too. And it performs very very well. Especially for video. Would I recommend the lens - yes, definitely - very good buy.

Very very sharp. Great colours. Heavier than expected but not heavy compared to full frame lenses. Heavier than the sigma 30mm. Works well with the Sony A6500 and Zhiyun Crane. Great colours and contrast. A bargain at £329.00. Highly recommend for Sony Crop sensor shooters.

Very good option for large aperture. Little bit slower on AF than Sony native. 4.5 stars.

Bought this for my Sony A6500 to experiment with some night photography and the results have been very encouraging so far. Excellent value for money and very well made.
