Sigma 16mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary E-mount APS-C Lens (pre-order for $449 at B&H Photo)
This 24mm-equivalent prime for APS-C-format Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras has a bright f/1.4 maximum aperture, perfect for shooting in low-light and selective focus control with shallow depth of field.

The optical design includes several low dispersion and aspherical glass elements to control color fringing and various aberrations in order to provide high sharpness and clarity throughout the aperture range. Individual elements also feature Sigma’s Super Multi-Layer Coating to suppress flare and ghosting for greater contrast and color fidelity when working in strong lighting conditions.

This lens also sports a stepping AF motor for quick, quiet, and smooth focusing performance that suits both still photography and video. Weather-sealed, durable construction enables this 16mm f/1.4 to excel in inclement weather conditions.
