Got the Sigma 16mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary today.

I had some free time and went out for a first impressions test.

Some samples:

Very close focus distance(!)m didn't expect that.

You can read it more here:

It will be nice to share thoughts, test and photos of this lens here.
It will be interesting to see other views and opinions about this lens.

If you have any questions and I can help, please ask.

Regards,
Kalin

Here are some examples with the Sigma 16mm on Sony A6000

As you can see even in a bad light it can deliver good results on the crop sensor of A6000 (all handheld)


And on a Full frame Sony A7R II, after I crop I can use around 26MPx (in a 16:9 mode), which for me is pretty usable:

Looks like a nice lens. Surprised how well it does on full frame. Any idea what sort of focal length it replicates once you’ve chipped the corners off?

In this case it should be around 19-20mm, but at the same time we had the 16mm wide view - or may be someone can explain it better than me, I could be wrong :)

In my opinion even in Super 35mm mode (18Mpx) it produces better IQ compared when it is on 24Mpx Sony A6000
 
It looks like a nice lens, i was thinking of getting one for astrophotography, but have not got round to it yet.
 
From today.
Was walking without a purpose in Central London, almost like the tourists :))

The place is Central London (Holborn) a few hours ago:

The Baker Street platform is a lovely image
 
Another one from my recent stop at Singapore Changi airport

By the way - amazing airport and amazing Butterfly garden!
