SIGMA 16MM F1.4 DC DN CONTEMPORARY MICRO 4/3 / OLYMPUS

Sigma 16mm f / 1.4 DC DN Contemporary Lens for Micro Four Thirds

Combining a comfortable wide-angle design with ultra-fast maximum aperture, this contemporary 16mm f / 1.4 DC DN lens from Sigma is a 32mm equivalent premium for the Micro Four Thirds mirrorless cameras. Characterized by its brilliant maximum aperture of f / 1.4, this lens is adept at working in low light conditions and also provides greater control over depth of field for selective focus control. The optical design makes use of several low dispersion and aspherical glass elements to control the color strip and various aberrations in order to provide great clarity and clarity throughout the opening range. Individual elements also feature Sigma's super-multilayer coating to suppress flare and phantom effect for greater contrast and color fidelity when working in bright lighting conditions. Benefiting from optical assets, this lens also features a step-by-step AF motor for fast, quiet and smooth focusing performance that adapts to both photography and video applications.

A wide-angle cousin, this 16mm f / 1.4 is designed for Micro Four Thirds mirrorless cameras and provides an equivalent focal length of 32mm.
The maximum fast f / 1.4 aperture excels in low light conditions and also offers greater focus control to produce shallow depth of field effects.
The optical design incorporates three FLD elements, two SLD elements and two molded aspherical elements to help reduce color edges, chromatic aberrations and spherical aberrations for remarkable sharpness, clarity and color accuracy from edge to edge.
A super multilayer coating has been applied to the lens elements to minimize the reflection and ghost image of the lens and contribute to producing contrast-rich and neutral-color images, even in backlight conditions.

The AF stepper motor benefits both photographers and videographers with its fast, precise and almost silent performance.
The rounded nine-leaf diaphragm contributes to a pleasing quality of bokeh.

The design resistant to dust and splashes allows the use of this lens in adverse weather conditions.
The lens is constructed with a thermally stable composite material (TSC), together with traditional metals, for greater precision and use in wide temperature variations. The exterior of the lens cylinder is also engraved with the year of production.
The bayonet mount is made of brass to ensure accuracy and durability.
