With 16 elements in 13 groups, the optical system of this Sigma 16mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary Lens (Fuji X) 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. This optical system minimises optical aberrations and ensures outstanding resolution at wide-open aperture and throughout the aperture range. In particular, the two aspherical lens elements have ultra-high-precision surfaces polished to tolerances under 10 nanometers, minimising the onion ring bokeh effect that some aspherical elements produce and ensuring clear image quality throughout the frame.
In addition, the structure of the optical system gently bends light to minimise sagittal coma flare and deliver optimal optical performance from the centre of the frame to the edges. The result is a smooth, round bokeh effect with ample light volume throughout the frame.
Featuring SIGMA’s inner focus technologies, this lens offers outstanding stability whether the photographer is shooting handheld or has the camera placed on a surface. Structurally, the lens features materials and parts that contribute to its compact, lightweight structure. In summary, this is an unprecedented lens that combines outstanding optical performance with exceptional portability and usability.
