Wow. This lens provides great quality pictures in low light. The quality of pictures produced with this lens surprisingly challenges those produced from Sony and Zeiss.

It just doesn’t get much sharper, and better for a wide angle lens. This thing is killer for Astro photography and landscape shots. Sigma just creates a high end product for a reasonable cost. Must have for the crop sensor systems.

I purchased this lens at the end of July 2021 and so far, it's been amazing. Not only have I been able to use it for taking photos and videos, but I've been able to use it as a webcam lens with my a6400 and capture card. If you're looking for something just to take photos, I would probably recommend the 30mm, but 16mm is more versatile in my opinion. The 16mm adds wide angle capabilities and webcam use in my scenario.

This is the best wide angle lens for sony e mount system. Picture quality is great and build quality is awesome. It is a heavy but that is a sign of craftsmanship I think. I loved this lens.
Sadly I had to sell as I switched over to fuji but still kept my A73.
Sigma just released the same lens for fuji system so I am going to re-buy this.
Build quality, picture quality, easy of use.

I've had this lens for 8 months. Beautiful quality, nice bokeh. I use it with my ZV-E10. If you are looking at it for a Sony camera, save your money and just buy the body. This is a must buy IMO.

The best wide angle prime, hands down

This is the absolute best wide angle prime (24mm equivalent on a full frame). Fast aperture, super sharp, can't ask for more. I stopped using it because I bought the Sony 16-55mm zoom however if you're not a zoom person than this is the absolute best wide angle prime for Sony's APS-C lineup, period. Don't even second guess it.
It's about 20x better than that Sony 10-18mm wide angle zoom, and blows every other prime out of the water.

This lens is awesome for portraits. I watched and read many reviews before I decided to get the 16mm Sigma for my A6500. It is one of the most highly recommended lenses for the E Mount cameras and is part of the so called Trifecta of best lenses Sigma put out. Super image quality across the board. Highly recommend it, you will not be disappointed with this wide lens.

I purchased this prime lens for my Sony A6400. I plan on using it for both livestreaming and YouTube videos shot in my home. If you plan on using this on the fly and out in the world, make sure your camera has IBIS though because this lens does not have OSS.

I’m still a newbie to photography but this lense is perfect for me since most of my time awake is at night. I needed a fast wide lense for nightscapes and this fits the bill.
