Sigma 16mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary Lens for Fujifilm X Mount in More Detail
Sigma launched this 16mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary together with two other compact primes which join the Fujifilm lens range for the first time. The 30mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary for Fuji and 56mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary Lens for Fujifilm X Mount form the rest of the trio. All three feature similar designs, optimised control algorithms, in-camera aberration corrections and rubber-sealed mounts.
High build quality throughout
The 16mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary features a lens design with 16 elements in 13 groups and has been made from the finest materials. This wide angle effectively minimises optical aberrations and offers superb resolution even when wide-open and on, throughout the aperture range. The optical design and stepping motor deliver smooth autofocus when shooting video, while the brass mount features a special sealing for dust and splash resistant shooting.
Compact and Lightweight Mirrorless Design
For optimal balance with light, compact camera bodies with a short flange back distance, Sigma designed the new Sigma 16mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary lens to be extremely compact. The special design of the focus lens group allows fast and smooth AF performance for videography and more, combining a compact design and comfortable operation while prioritising outstanding image quality. Featuring Sigma’s latest technologies, this lens digitally corrects optical distortion for less time editing and more time in the field.
Stepping motor delivers excellent autofocus with quiet performance
The optical design and stepping motor deliver smooth autofocus during video. The lens design fully accommodates Fast Hybrid AF for super-fast autofocus functionality when required. Using face recognition AF results in consistent autofocusing on faces, even as the subjects move, which makes this a great choice for vlogging with any suitable Fujifilm camera.
Combining Size with outstanding performance
The Sigma 16mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary includes customary Sigma lens inner focus technologies, while lighter lens elements in the focus group result in a more compact actuator. On top of this, this lens offers outstanding stability whether the photographer is shooting handheld or has the camera placed on a tripod. Structurally, the lens features materials and parts that contribute to its compact, lightweight design.

Our Verdict
Over the years Sigma has positioned themselves as one of the most accomplished third party lens designers with options for most major camera brands. They are busy redeveloping previous DSLR designs from the ground up to include optics which make the most of mirrorless camera designs, with a short flange distance and lightweight structure. This culminates in the Sigma 16mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary Lens arriving in a trio, all optimised for Fujifilm X Mount camera users.
This brings a tried and tested formula, which is capable of high resolution results combined with algorithms that have been optimised for the Fujifilm System. The stepping motor therefore acquires and tracks subjects tenaciously and images are corrected in-camera to minimise aberrations and other artefacts.
The results are excellent, providing Fujifilm users with access to these highly accomplished lenses, of which there are plenty more in the pipeline. If you enjoy shooting wide angle subjects and benefit from a lightweight prime, the Sigma 16mm f/1.4 is an extremely compelling option. It’s versatile enough to be pointed at a range of subjects, has a close 25cm minimum focus distance and brings a bright aperture which excels in low light. Add in comprehensive weather resistance and you’re ready to go shoot in the great outdoors, whatever the conditions.
