Advertisement Posted December 5, 2021 Posted December 5, 2021 Hi Xue, Take a look here How about Sigma 16mm and TL18mm. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Daedalus2000 Posted December 5, 2021 Share #2 Posted December 5, 2021 (edited) I dont have the lens but I consider it as you do. I found these links, and according to what I see it looks fine to me.But it is on the heavy side in terms of size and weight. Let see what the people who own it say Edited December 5, 2021 by Daedalus2000 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sigma calls SIGMA 16mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary "the new Sigma 16mm", but AFAIK it was launched in 2018. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kavudan Posted December 5, 2021 Share #8 Posted December 5, 2021 I have the 16 and it punches way way above it's weight. It's not a small lens though...shot a bunch of keepers with it and great for landscape. I've never had the 18, so I can't compare. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far, I do not see much difference. The main differentiators seems to be the size/weight and the max aperture. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marac Posted December 9, 2021 Share #14 Posted December 9, 2021 I've owned the 16mm Sigma since it's release, I still have it, I think it is an amazing lens, close focus ability, nice contrasty images similar to Contax Zeiss lenses. I tried the 18mm Leica and that also seems very nice, especially the size. IQ on both is excellent, I didn't bother getting the 18mm. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
