Characterized by its bright f\/1.4 maximum aperture, this lens is adept at working in low-light conditions and also affords increased control over depth of field for selective focus control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"mText\"\u003eThe optical design makes use of several low dispersion and aspherical elements, which control colour fringing and various aberrations in order to provide high sharpness and clarity throughout the aperture range. Individual elements also feature a Super Multi-Layer Coating to suppress flare and ghosting for greater contrast and colour fidelity when working in strong lighting conditions. Benefitting the optical assets, this lens also sports a stepping AF motor for quick, quiet, and smooth focusing performance that suits both still photography as well as video applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h2Lit\"\u003eKey Features of the Sigma 16mm f\/1.4 DC DN Contemporary Lens for L-Mount\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned to achieve a balance between convenience and performance.

In particular, the two aspherical lens elements have ultra-high-precision surfaces polished to tolerances under 10 nanometers, minimizing 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 minimize 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h2Lit\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"h2Lit\"\u003eDesigned to minimize flare and ghosting\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom an early stage in the lens design process, flare and ghosting have been measured to establish an optical design resistant to strong incident light sources such as backlighting.
