when I was buying Sony Alpha 6400, I was confused to buy with kit lens or to go with the Sigma's lenses. So, after all of comparison from a month,I found this to be reasonable and worth having it. So, got it by reading the reviews on Amazon and now to be very honest. It's way better than kit lens as well as any other Sony add on lenses. You'll get fine bokeh, a get better low-light performance. One thing is missing is the optical image stabilization, it is only our down part of this lens otherwise this lens is way better than all of the lenses present in the market right now for Sony Alpha series crop sensor. Star for 1 star - for Bokeh 1 star- low light performance 1 star - value for money 1 star - focus is butter smooth 1 star- perfection in all, all rounder Deduction 1star - for Optical image stabilization 1 star- poor packaging of Amazon.(it's a glass item of around 33k but Amazon sent me this in a polybag

Excellent Sharpness , satisfied with the build quality,video performance and lowlight auto focus performance.

Awesome clarity.. very fast. Also very sturdy.

Best purchase ever. I bought it at a lower price when it was in short supply. And has been my main lens ever since. Focal length: The viewing angle with an APS-C camera would be quite wide and this makes the 16mm focal length perfect for indoor use. This lens will also be great for landscape photography, environmental portraits and experimental photography. Background blur: The fast aperture allows you to really isolate your subject at close distances. Bokeh is smooth and creamy. Helps you get that pseudo full-frame look. Low light: The performance is outstanding in low light as it has a large max. aperture, plus light transmission through the lens is good. See 4th image. Resolution: Sharpness at apertures over F2.0 is just mind-numbing. Macro capabilities: The lens has a short minimum focus distance which allows you to get extremely close to your subject. And since the lens is ridiculously sharp you can always crop the image to achieve a "macro" effect. See uploaded images. See 5th and 6th image. Size and weight: It is large and heavy in comparison to the tiny kit lens of Sony APS-C cameras, and makes an A6XXX body front heavy. There is no alternative in the Sony APS-C mirrorless system for this lens. Just go for it. If the weight is not an issue, you will be extremely happy with this lens.

Perfect for talking head

Please do not buy any electronics item from amazon Literally they provide zero support from their side. The lens is exceptional but it came with few dust particles inside (PFA). I called amazon for getting replacement but they straight forward asked me to visit Sigma service center. Even the phone number they provided was incorrect I had to go to Sigma service center personally which was 50km far and waste my whole day I got a new lens from service center but now I feel that I should have bought from the showroom itself It was coming for the same cost with better card offers.

Amazing lens and such a reasonable price! Works incredibly well and super crisp. Love this lens for my Sony camera

Produto de boa qualidade. Atendeu as minhas expectativas.

An important lens to have with your Sony APS-C camera. Good sharpness and super brightness; important in dark situations such as filming the night sky.

رائعة واسطورية

The autofocus performance is amazing, and wow it is so comfortable focusing at almost any distance! Just used it at my desk to walk someone through some detail work modding arcade buttons and I was able to freely move individual parts just inches from the lens to show specifics and pull back again to do more work, and each time it found me and focused on what was important right away. Absolutely drinks light, and the image is wonderfully sharp. I am no pro photographer, but I have to say that all the reviews I watched for this thing hyping it up didn't even do it justice. My only regret is not buying it a few years back when it was a few hundred less expensive, but I was lucky enough to mostly get it using gift cards. EXCELLENT video and photography lens on my a6000.
