Product Specifications

Basic Information

Product Features

The second in a series that combines F1.4 with compactness. High-performance large-aperture wide-angle lens.

- A bright single-focal length lens that lets you experience the true joy of photography.

The 16mm F1.4 DC DN Contemporary is the first large-aperture wide-angle lens for Sony E-mount APS-C mirrorless cameras, equivalent to 24mm F1.4 in 35mm format. This large-aperture wide-angle lens is long-awaited by mirrorless camera users.

- High image quality comparable to the Art line

The luxurious 13-group, 16-element lens construction is comparable to that of large-aperture lenses for full-frame cameras, and includes three FLD glass elements, two SLD glass elements, and two glass-molded aspherical lens elements. The lens has low levels of aberration and high resolving power from the maximum aperture. In particular, the two glass-molded aspherical lenses have their surfaces processed with nano-order precision to suppress spiral line blurring that tends to occur with aspherical lenses, resulting in a clear image across the entire image. This lens configuration also allows the lens to bend light gently, minimizing sagittal coma flare and achieving high optical performance from the center to the periphery. In order to maintain beautiful circular bokeh even at the periphery of the image, the lens incorporates a large amount of peripheral light.

- Adoption of a stepping motor for quiet and comfortable AF even during movie shooting

The optical design for movie AF and the adoption of a stepping motor enable natural focus work with autofocus. The Sony E-mount also supports Fast Hybrid AF for fast AF. The camera's Face Recognition AF function allows you to keep your subject's face in focus even if it moves during shooting.

- Large hood included

The hood effectively cuts harmful light that adversely affects the lens rendering and prevents internal reflections from occurring. The hood is equipped with non-slip grooves and rubber to prevent slipping when shooting while holding the hood.

Simplified dustproof and drip-proof mechanism

The mount is rubber-sealed for use in a variety of environments.

- Designed to minimize flare and ghosting. Circular aperture
