    Must buy lense if you have a APS-C Camera!

    I’ve been shooting with my Sony A6300 for 2 years. While I love the flexibility of my telephoto this prime lens is game changing. This lens has rekindled my love for photography. And the images that it produces are awesome. The bokeh is so good. But if you don’t need it the sharpness of my images is awesome. It is a little on the big side. Which adds weight. Makes the camera not as pocketable like when you use the kit 16-55mm. But I debated on purchasing this lens for a while. And it was well worth the wait. If you shoot on a Sony APS-C this is a must have piece of glass.

    Perfect lens for streaming and content creation

    I use this lens with my Sony ZV-E10, and the quality is amazing. The image looks sharp and clear, even in lower lighting, and the wide angle is perfect for my streaming setup. It also gives the background a nice soft blur while keeping me in focus. I would definitely recommend it to streamers and content creators!

    Beautiful Bokeh!

    The Bokeh that the Sigma 16mm produces is absolutely beautiful! Since purchasing my Sony a6400 I’ve been looking for a new lens to add alongside the kit lens. I’ve done a lot of research and this one has been at the top of my list. I was finally able to catch it in stock @ Best Buy and pulled the trigger. Without having built in stabilization, you’ll get you’re best video with a tripod or a gimbal if your camera doesn’t have it. The Sigma 16mm takes excellent pictures day or night with the 1.4 aperture. If you’re looking for a lens that’s great for low light and want to add that bokeh effect to your photos, the Sigma 16mm 1.4 can’t be beat for the price.

    Absolutely a must have.

    This lens is a must have for any compatible camera. Absolutely amazing for talking head videos or for those who shoot real-estate videos. For full potential you need to use a Full Frame camera. An ACP lens you will have to zoom in a bit and lose the 16mm and it works more like a 22mm lens.

    Great Value for the Money!

    I bought this for my Sony ZV-E10 and I love it! It works great and makes my crop-sensor lens look like a full-frame camera. I highly recommend this lens for vlogging and even for taking photos. The f/1.4 aperture makes a huge difference. I originally wanted the 24mm, but it was sold out, so I went with the 16mm—and it’s been working great!
