Sigma Contemporary 16mm f/1.4 DC DN 16mm
{ "review": "Con un'apertura f/1.4 costante, tropicalizzazione e un peso di soli 405g, il Sigma 16mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary offre un grandangolo luminoso e portatile per sistemi mirrorless Leica L APS-C. Il design ottico con elementi asferici e a bassa dispersione garantisce nitidezza elevata su tutto il fotogramma, mentre il motore AF a passo assicura una messa a fuoco rapida e silenziosa sia per foto che video. È ideale per ritrattisti e professionisti che cercano un'ottica compatta con ampio controllo sulla profondità di campo e prestazioni ottiche di alto livello." }
