  1. GlaizeAvenueStudios

    I’ve never liked the stock lens that came with the a6000. This lens, although prime, is a much higher quality that can facilitate professional results. Excellent for close proximity (not macro) subjects.

  2. Juju

    Sigma is great
    Will for sure get another lens from Sigma

  3. Pinakbet

    Very fast and sharp. Great wide angle lens at a real good value!

  4. LittleJohnPhoto

    I’ve been shooting with my Sony A6300 for 2 years. While I love the flexibility of my telephoto this prime lens is game changing. This lens has rekindled my love for photography. And the images that it produces are awesome. The bokeh is so good. But if you don’t need it the sharpness of my images is awesome.

    It is a little on the big side. Which adds weight. Makes the camera not as pocketable like when you use the kit 16-55mm.

    But I debated on purchasing this lens for a while. And it was well worth the wait. If you shoot on a Sony APS-C this is a must have piece of glass.

  5. ricky

    Works perfect with my Sony a6300. Solid lens, really good for video too.

  6. Mikeb

    One of the best aps-c lens you can get right now!!

  7. Mg88

    The Bokeh that the Sigma 16mm produces is absolutely beautiful! Since purchasing my Sony a6400 I’ve been looking for a new lens to add alongside the kit lens. I’ve done a lot of research and this one has been at the top of my list. I was finally able to catch it in stock @ Best Buy and pulled the trigger. Without having built in stabilization, you’ll get you’re best video with a tripod or a gimbal if your camera doesn’t have it. The Sigma 16mm takes excellent pictures day or night with the 1.4 aperture. If you’re looking for a lens that’s great for low light and want to add that bokeh effect to your photos, the Sigma 16mm 1.4 can’t be beat for the price.

  8. NomadingNick

    This is the absolute best wide angle prime (24mm equivalent on a full frame). Fast aperture, super sharp, can’t ask for more. I stopped using it because I bought the Sony 16-55mm zoom however if you’re not a zoom person than this is the absolute best wide angle prime for Sony’s APS-C lineup, period. Don’t even second guess it.

    It’s about 20x better than that Sony 10-18mm wide angle zoom, and blows every other prime out of the water.

  9. Meech

    I love this lens! I use it with my Sony a6400 to stream with and do some photography/video with. Highly recommend!

  10. Watson

    This lens is phenomenal for not being a native Sony lens. Low light capability with a 1.4 aperture is such an advantage. You cannot go wrong with buying this.

  11. Will

    This is my low light go to for my a6500 when I film receptions and other events. The autofocus is on point and color rendering is great. This is a must have for your apsc camera!!!!

  12. baybgyrl

    I was not sure about the brand, but the reviews on Youtube and my experience have made me a believer.

  13. Slider99

    Very Impressed with it, came with great reviews. Well built feels great.

  14. Euclid

    i bought this lens twice already. I used it in one of my travels to Europe only using this lens and the pictures were sharp and beautiful.

  15. Nelson

    Bought for my Sony a6400 camera great lens you will not regret getting this lens must have lens

  16. BeccaBellezza

    Sigma is my fav lens to buy & shoot with! Absolutely love this lens and the moments caputured with it!

  17. Blanca

    Great additional lens to add to your selection if you take professional pictures or videos. Great quality.

  18. Jack

    This is an amazing and sharp lense!! The buttery smooth Bokeh results in some amazing pictures, I used it mainly for car photography and coming from a kit lens this is a night and day difference! Would recommend for anyone looking for a wide angle lense for a sony e-mount.

  19. goodrevview

    good productt niceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

  20. Murray

    Great lens. Does exactly what it should. Picture quality is excellent.

  21. Ollivander

    I purchased this prime lens for my Sony A6400. I plan on using it for both livestreaming and YouTube videos shot in my home. If you plan on using this on the fly and out in the world, make sure your camera has IBIS though because this lens does not have OSS.

  22. Denise

    Pretty good lens for the price. Will need to test it out more.

  23. Cindy

    This lens has made such a difference in my streaming videos. I highly recommend it. Also, my shopping experience at best buy is always easy!!!!

  24. DrDres

    I use the a6000. I am an intermediate user. This lens is sharp and wide! I use it for stills and movie. The focus is FAST in great lighting. There are no issues and would recommend to other beginners looking for a set focal length sharp lens.

  25. Angelknight69

    Great sharp pictures. Great quality build. Works great sony a6400

  26. emanespino

    I purchased this lens at the end of July 2021 and so far, it’s been amazing. Not only have I been able to use it for taking photos and videos, but I’ve been able to use it as a webcam lens with my a6400 and capture card. If you’re looking for something just to take photos, I would probably recommend the 30mm, but 16mm is more versatile in my opinion. The 16mm adds wide angle capabilities and webcam use in my scenario.

  27. XboxOneGamer

    This is a fast lens. Perfect wide shots. Decent price entry for value!

  28. SonyA7ii

    Great lens for the price, it’s my first wide angle lens and is nice to get that low light wide angle capability

  29. Esdot

    First ever lens from the kit lens, took some of my best photos with this lens

  30. BatmanMarth

    I ordered this expecting something amazing. Instead, I got what was apparently a return that an employee did not check, because it was not the right lens.

  31. Camman

    Awesome picture quality, the reviews are accurate,

  32. Rays

    Great lense works great, only issue is that it arrived literally caked in dust. Like unbelievably covered in dust, as if it sat in a closet for years. Luckily both caps were installed well so none on the important parts

  33. Dopamine

    Works just as expected. Really good lens. Sigma realty went the extra mile to make it a great value.

  34. KATALM

    Got the lens TWO MONTHS LATE and its JUNK.
    WHEN it wants to work it isn’t great and it glitches when connecting to the camera. I will be pressing for a refund.

  35. Anonym

    Wow. This lens provides great quality pictures in low light. The quality of pictures produced with this lens surprisingly challenges those produced from Sony and Zeiss.

  36. Misty

    Nice lens that works well for wide angle as well as close ups

  37. Kamagi

    This is the best wide angle lens for sony e mount system. Picture quality is great and build quality is awesome. It is a heavy but that is a sign of craftsmanship I think. I loved this lens.
    Sadly I had to sell as I switched over to fuji but still kept my A73.
    Sigma just released the same lens for fuji system so I am going to re-buy this.

    Build quality, picture quality, easy of use.

  38. ouhscer

    Really wide angles and very great for manual user, sharp

  39. Savage

    Great camera for my use as an up and coming social media enthusiast.

  40. andrea

    It has worked great and it is very compact making it wasy for vlogging.

  41. Unknown

    Super sharp edge. I’m using this as my primary lense

  42. Outstanding

    Great addition to my camera. Great quality and no glear when focusing

  43. abfabpaper

    I’m relatively new to understanding all that goes into photography, as in, I didn’t know that to get that wonderful blurred out background, you needed a lens with an f-stop of 1.4 or 1.8 and such. Nor did I “get” the millimeter numbers, but plenty of YouTubers were raging about this particular lens.

    And OK, now I get it. I can film myself with the lens about a foot in front of me, and it picks up practically the whole room. So great for talking-head videos! And the color and bokeh are amazing! It’s perfect for this use and I’m so glad I got it! The price was pretty reasonable too!

  44. Dema

    The image qaulity is really good. There is some distortion because it is a wide lens. I woukd recomend this over the sony 15mm f1.4 because of the price. That sony lens is almost as much as its full frame conpetitor sony 20mm f1.8 which is an amazing lens with lens chromatic aboration and better corner sharpness. Dont buy sony lenses for apsc that costs as much as full frame lenses get these sigma lenses instead.

  45. KevinM

    Sigma 16mm best lens for lowlight & quality. Should be your 1st and GO2 Lens! Love it with my Sony ZV E10!

  46. AdamB

    Wow, what a lens! I use this lens as a webcam as I record content. Its clear, its crisp, its affordable.

  47. Micky

    best wide angle lens I ever used in a low light video shoot. I promise you will not be disappointed!!!!!!

  48. LockAndShakeFilms

    As a Real Estate Videographer, this lens is a must have. It allows you to film in dark spaces and colors are beautiful. Great for interviewing and showing off wide spaces

  49. JeremyS

    I’ve had this lens for 8 months. Beautiful quality, nice bokeh. I use it with my ZV-E10. If you are looking at it for a Sony camera, save your money and just buy the body. This is a must buy IMO.

  50. MichelleC

    This Lens is perfection. You can’t beat the price.
