Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. There's a ring to select aperture on this lens. However, is it still possible to dial the aperture from the aperture wheel on the SL rather than through the aperture ring on the lens?

A: Yes there is a way. Turn the aperture ring to "A" (like it shows in the photo) and you'll have control through the camera instead of the lens.

Q: 2. Can this lens be used on a Sony Nex6 without using a adapter?

A: Being that the Sigma 65mm f/2 DG DN uses the Sony E mount, it can work with the Sony NEX-6.

Q: 3. I see from the photos that the aperture rings move in 1/3 stops. Will it give the same effect as de-clicked aperture of a cine lens? Or will the jumps be noticeable? Thanks

A: From our tests in the store using the Sigma 35mm f/2 DG DN C, the effect is not quite similar to a de-clicked aperture ring. Firstly, there is an audible click when rotating the physical aperture ring. Secondly, there is a split-second latency even in Aperture Priority where the exposure adjusts and the shutter speed/ISO raises in order to compensate for the change. We had a much more seamless effect when the lens is set to "A" and we adjusted the aperture via the dials as we did not hear the click nor did we see any visible exposure change.

Q: 4. Is there a crop for Leica L?

A: This is an APS-C lens, so it'll be equivalent to a 24mm lens.

Q: 5. Hello: what advantages and disadvantages of this lens, compared to the Sony FE 50mm f / 2.8 Macro Lens ?, thanks in advance

A: While we have not had a chance to try this lens out, on paper the differences would be the focal length (35mm versus 50mm), the wider aperture (f/2 versus f/2.8), minimum focusing distance (35mm has 10" versus 50mm's 6"), autofocus speed (macro lenses are typically slower).

Q: 6. Is this really dust/splash proof? The manual says its not water proof and should not be used in the rain.

A: The Sigma 16mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary Lens features weather sealed thermally stable composite (TSC) construction. The lens resists moisture but is not able to be immersed in water. It is important to connect this Sigma lens to a weather resistant camera body to maximize the moisture resistant feature. If one uses the lens in the rain, it would be helpful to wipe off the water periodically during the photo shoot.

Q: 7. Can I use it on my rokinon 35mm E mount?

A: Yes.

Q: 8. Is this compatible with a lieca cl

A: Yes this will work on the Leica CL.

Q: 9. Does fit for Fuji X body mount to use ?

A: Sigma produces the Sigma 65mm f/2 DG DN Contemporary Lens with a Leica L and Sony E mount. Unfortunately, they do not make this lens with a Fuji X mount.

Q: 10. Which one is better for every day use (different genres), this one or 45mm 2.8?

A: I apologize in advance for the vague answer, but "better" will very much depend on the kind of photographs you make and the kind of compositions you enjoy. Typically, 35mm/40mm are seen as more "traditional" for street photography, but the 45mm might offer you tighter, slightly more intimate perspectives during everyday shooting. Truthfully, there isn't a significant difference between them, and you should be able to enjoy making photographs with either!
