This lens is awesome for streaming if you can get close. Nice and wide, but blown out BG from the Bokeh.... With autofocus is just so much user friendlier than a Rokinon lens in the same price range.

FYI this is an APSC lens. The focal length is 24mm on a full frame lens with not so great performance.
This is still good on a Sony zv-e10 correct?

What do you mean by "not so great performance?"

This lens has been out for so long now and I have seen it at this price range around twice a year. Also every review I have seen from it, always have been positive. Really good lens for an APSC camera.

I have this lens, it's fantastic with my sony a6600. Not sure where you're getting the idea that it doesn't have great performance. But any review on YouTube would say this sigma 16mm 1.4 is one of the best wide angle prime lenses for Sony E aps-c

I'd honestly like to hear where you're getting this idea from.

Looks like Adorama have the same price for all the different platforms. If you have CapitalOne you also get 4% back on Shopping Rewards.

They were referring to performance on a full-frame camera, which the lens isn't designed for.

It works well on APS-C cameras, as designed.

Great lens.

For an APS-C camera it's pretty damn wide without that much distortion. And keep in mind for this price it's a f1.4 lens, which is really great for low light situations. It's a surprisingly fast/sharp lens for this price.

So I use this lens in MFT for conference calls and it's excellent for that application.

Not the most premium build quality but it's hard to argue with an f/1.4 lens with this optical quality and fast/quiet AF at this price point. You have to spend 3~4x more for the Olympus PRO 17mm f/1.2 lens and the performance gain is hard to justify for hobbyists.

Sigma lost it's meaning
A little less quality for quite a bit less money seems accurate still. What has changed?

This is THE lens if you shoot youtube or really any video on APS-C

This lens is straight up GOATED. Best value. (You can get it for about 275 used on ebay, amazon is usually 350, so 319 is a good deal!)

Note, they also have the Sigma 30 (apsc crop = 45mm) and the sigma 56 (apsc crop = 84) for similar discounts, both of which are absolutely fantastic portrait lenses, or the whole trio for 1k. You can rarely find the trio, aka the Sigma Holy Trinity, for less than $900.
