The 16mm F1.4 DC DN Contemporary also combines F1.4 brightness with top-level optical performance.

This lens effectively minimizes optical aberrations and offers superb resolution at wide-open aperture and throughout the aperture range. The optical design and stepping motor deliver smooth autofocus during video shooting, while the mount features a special sealing for a dust- and splash-proof design.
