Muy bueno, le da una calidad a mi fotos increíble. Recomendado.

This lenses is so beautiful the quality and focus of this lens is beautiful. I love the wide angle, the buttery blur background it has taken my content creation to a new level.

Bought this for my Sony ZVE10 and it works good. Very good quality, perfect for vlogging. Perfect for the crop sensor cameras.

I use this lens for my Sony zve10 and it’s pretty dang nice. I was seeing more noise in my videos than I liked, and I figured that a lower aperture would fix it (based on what EVERY SINGLE tips video said), but what no one told me is that the zve10 is just pretty noisy when not recording in 4K. If you’re having the same problem, I’d try switching it to 4K, because even though this lens is nice if you need a nice blur, or genuine low light performance, it’s not gonna make your picture much clearer than your kit lens (simply because of how solid the kit lens is).I’ve also found that recording more than one person at lower apertures will often cause one to be out of focus. Especially when one subject is closer to the camera, which is obvious for anyone who’s experienced, but wasn’t initially for me. Lens length makes a huge difference for background separation, and this lens is probably the most balanced you can get at the price point. It’s not long enough to where your camera is constantly off balance on a tripod, but still gives great separation. All in all it’s a nice lens, but imo most people won’t need it as much as they think, and I would definitely recommend trying to find a used one.

This is a very good lens no doubt. More so for the price. I'm a photography enthusiast and all those pictures were taken with this lens on the Sony ZVE-10 within less than a month of my getting into photography. One big thing about this lens is that is unexpectedly very good in low light. Clearly, its very low aperture of f1.8 makes it collect much light and consequently have better nighttime performance but still, the images that this lens outputs at night are simply shockingly stunning. The only major challenge you can have with this at night is the dynamic range of your camera.I'm very big on bokeh and this lens does perform - albeit not well enough for me. The bokeh is quite decent if the object in focus is close enough (although for portraits, your subject can feel invaded because of the proximity that will be required to get the best bokeh). From my use, I found that it has very unnoticeable to no chromatic aberration in almost all situations & it has a fair bit of distortion but it's nothing that can't be easily fixed in post-production if you are shooting raw.The fact that it is a wide-angle lens means it's able to capture a lot at once as you can see in some of those nighttime pictures in a performance. That said, this is a very capable and fairly flexible lens. It can handle both wide-angle shots & night-time photography well with good results (although not the best) when taking portraits.Because I'm big on portraits and would be primarily using it with my camera to record a human subject, I decided to return this go for its other sibling - the Sigma 30mm. I can expect better bokeh and portrait shots from that with similar night performance although poorer chromatic aberration overall. Nonetheless, even with the shortcomings of this lens, it is still a very good one and most definitely a great value for its price.

This lens changed everything for me! It was very needed. A hugeeeee difference and upgrade from the kit lens. The only downside is how big and heavy it is lol. Makes it a little more difficult to travel with, but worth it.

The Sigma 16mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary Lens for Sony E Mount is the best apsc lens I have ever mounted on my A6500--even better than my Sony Zeiss 24mm f/1.8, which cost over twice as much money.The Sigma lens is sharper than the Sony Zeiss 24mm f/1.8, and possesses the same macro capability of the Sony Zeiss 24mm f/1.8. However, the 24mm is completely silent, and has a more compact form factor.The Sony is a 35mm equivalent on a full frame, while the Sigma 16mm is 24mm on a full frame.For street photography and landscapes, I would definitely go with the Sigma. If you're looking for a focal length you can use for portraits, street, and landscapes, you may consider the Sony Zeiss 24mm f/1.8. But if I could do it all over again, I would go with the Sigma 16mm instead of the Sony 24mm. It is a better lens.This lens resolves on par at 24mm with the Sony full frame 16-35 GM I own, which cost me $2000; and it is able to let in more light, while doing so.This lens is SHARP ACROSS the FRAME.I don't own the Batis 25 f/2, but was thinking about buying it for video work. Not anymore, with my purchase of this lens.I own the Sony 10-18, and will continue to use that for video on a V2 Crane gimbal for ultra-wide angles. But will definitely use this lens for all other video work on that gimbal, if I don't need the ultra-wide angle.The Sigma 16mm is not completely silent, but almost. I would say the sound is negligible.The build quality of the lens is excellent. The focus ring is buttery smooth. It mounts beautifully on my A6500, and will stay there most of the time.I gave the lens 4 stars for two reasons: There seems to be an issue with dust in the front lens element. I returned one copy due to this issue but was undeterred in my commitment to owning the lens. The second factor in deducting a point is the negligible sound of the focus system. Were it not for the dust and the negligible sound of the focus system, this lens would truly be superb.Moving forward, I will look seriously at Sigma optics alongside Zeiss and Sony.Be sure to buys from an approved Sigma vendor: https://www.sigmaphoto.com/where-to-buy-sigmaI highly recommend the Sigma 16mm f/1.4 DC DN for Sony
