Pros & Cons
Pros
Sigma 16mm f/1. Is a great wide angle lens for the sony aps-c mirrorless system. The crop from the aps-c sensor makes it more like 24mm which is still a decent focal length for landscapes.
This is a perfect focal length for vlogging because you can stand right in front of it and get a good close up. That is ideal if you're using a mic, whether in camera or external. It's not long enough to where your camera is constantly off balance on ... Read More
Autofocus is extremely fast, almost faster than a few of my other high end lenses. It gives you the blurr in the back while you look crystal clear in the video. The only thing this is lacking is the zoom capability.
Bokeh effect from the blurred out background is also beautiful. Low aperture makes it a versatile choice for low-light conditions. High aperture is perfect for getting that nice bokeh and it's not overly heavy. Great addition to any photographer's/vid... Read More
Sharp image, no chromatic aberration at f8. It’s extremely sharp and has easily correctable distortion.
Cons
Reviewer received a used lens from amazon. The camera could not be loaded and the lens would not connect to the camera. This lens is a huge disappointment.
Highlights
Quality
It feels very sturdy in hand, and it's clear that it's built to last.

Price
I bought it on blackfriday so for that price, i love it.
The value you get out of the price of this lens is amazing.
A good value at hat price point.
Bottomline up front: this is a great, "wide angle" lens for a really nice priceto be up front, i'm no professional photographer... Read More
Shipping
It’s eve thing that i expected thank you very much i appreciate you service and the shipping was perfect.
Packaging/appearance
My only complaint is they mailed it in an unpadded plastic bag!
Competitiveness
8 24-70 and it compares to it even a better bokeh since this sigma is 1.
I switch between this and the sigma 2.
I own two of these lenses, one for my sony zv-e10, and the other for my lumix gh5 mkii.
