Sigma 16-28 mm F2.8 DG DN Lens for Sony E Mount

Fantastic piece of kit to have in your bag. It’s lightweight and tack sharp. Would certainly recommend for anyone that does real estate shots.

It's tiny, has a pretty wide max aperture for a zoom lens, and works perfectly silently. It's solid feeling without being too heavy, and I have no complaints about the autofocus. I put mine on an A7CR and used it for video, and the autofocus worked without a single issue. This is going to be a mainstay in my camera bag for a long time for travel.

The media could not be loaded. Really good lens for the weight at f2.8. It weighs very light and really good sharp image both ends which the competitor tamron is lagging at the far end. Tamron start to lose sharpness at 28mm and only stays sharp at 17mm. But this sigma lens stays consistent throughout but definitely pretty bad distortions at 16 and at 28 the walls curves the opposite direction. Overall good value, portability, and quality.

I am using this lens on a Sony a7iv. Overall, great lens for the money. The crispness isn't quite to the level of my Sony G (20mm F1.8), but it's pretty close. For most applications, this is a great lens. If you are doing architectural photography professionally and need your work to be extra crispy, I think paying for the Sony lens is worth it.

Very sharp lens for this price range, even at wide open. The lens is light enough that can be attached to the camera all the time. Distortion is very obvious if correction is turned off, but that should not be a problem(this is also fairly common for a ultra wide angle zoomed lens) since on-camera live correction works flawlessly and there is already correction profile on Adobe Camera Raw. I was also looking at 16-35GM before purchasing this lens. The performance at 35mm of 16-35GM is lottery, which worries me a little bit. As for Sigma 16-28, I do lose the extra reach from 28mm to 35mm. But since I am using it on A7R4, the missing focal length can be compensated with cropping if I really need it. Note that although the front filter thread of this lens is 72mm, you still need something larger than 72mm filters if you would like to stack CPL and ND

The colors are well managed.It handles well ghosting and contrast.This is my 3rd favorite lens after the sony 24mm GM and the Sigma 100-400mm Contemporary.The only reason it is not my favorite lens is the small vignetting and the details. I heard that the 14-24 art has better details but for the price, you cannot go wrong with this one. It is sharper than the Tamron 17-28 and attain its peak of sharpness during golden hour.

I use it for real estate shoots. Its perfect.

For landscape photos this lens is solid at 16mm and is capable of some basic portraits at 28mm.In regards to video, the vignetting is actually unusable at 16mm. It made all corners of my video dark and caused weird effects due to this. All my videos turned out darker than they actually should have been.At the same time, it’s a lens with a 72mm filter thread. Finding variable ND filters that have low vignette like the Peter McKinnon filters were impossible and a nightmare. They actually made the vignette worse in most circumstances.For video this lens was actually a nightmare and cost me more in returns than anything. Would not recommend for video, especially vlogging, but can recommend for photo !Going to go for the Tamron 17-28mm instead now for the better video capabilities with low / impossible to see vignette.
