The Sigma 16mm F1.4 DC DN Contemporary Lens for Nikon Z Mount is a new solution for mirrorless camera users, combining F1.4 brightness with a compact body. Introducing a new high-performance, large-diameter wide-angle lens, it offers an opportunity to experience the fun of shooting wide open with F1.4 brightness. The new Sigma 16mm F1.4 DC DN Contemporary is the world’s first interchangeable lens for mirrorless Nikon Z Mount cameras in the APS-C format to offer a 24 mm focal length (35mm equivalent) and F1.4 brightness. The control algorithm, including AF drive and communication speed optimization, has been developed. In addition to realizing high-speed AF, the lens also supports AF-C (Continuous AF) and in-camera aberration correction. The mount is rubber-sealed to accommodate use in a variety of environments.

Compact and Lightweight

Developed to feature a lightweight, compact package for everyday use, Sigma DN lenses for mirrorless cameras deliver superior performance across key focal lengths. It also combines F1.4 brightness with top-level optical performance. It features a lens structure with 16 elements in 13 groups and includes the finest materials.

Member of the High-Performance Contemporary Line

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.

Stepping Motor Delivers Excellent Autofocus with Quiet Performance

The optical design and stepping motor deliver smooth autofocus during video shooting. The lens design fully accommodates the Fast Hybrid AF of Nikon Z-mount cameras for super-fast autofocus functionality. Using face recognition for AF results in consistent autofocusing on faces, even as the subjects move.

Combines Compactness with Outstanding Optical Performance

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.

Large Lens Hood Keeps Out Harmful Rays

The lens hood cuts harmful rays that can negatively affect photographs while also minimizing reflectivity within the hood itself. The hood also features a rubber construction and a non-slip groove to make it easy to hold in a variety of shooting situations.

High-Precision, Rugged Brass Bayonet Mount

The brass mount combines high precision with rugged construction. Its treated surfaces and enhanced strength contribute to the exceptional durability of the lens.

Mount with Dust and Splash Resistant Structure

The mount features a special sealing for a dust- and splash-resistant structure, making the lens an excellent choice in a wide variety of conditions.

Minimizing Sagittal Coma Flare

With 16 elements in 13 groups, the optical system features a multitude of high-tech and high-end components, including three FLD glass elements, two SLD glass elements, and two molded glass aspherical elements.

Designed to Minimize Flare and Ghosting

From an early stage in the lens design process, flare and ghosting have been measured to establish an optical design resistant to strong incident light sources such as backlighting. Sigma’s Super Multi-Layer Coating reduces flare and ghosting to help photographers produce sharp, high-contrast images even in backlit conditions.

Bright Prime Functionality to Experience Photography at its Best

A bright prime lens is an ideal way to experience the essence of the art of photography. Simply select a focal length that matches the image and enjoy complete control of the depth of field.

Rounded Diaphragm

The 9-blade rounded diaphragm creates an attractive blur in the out-of-focus areas of the image.
