Hendrik:I made a video about the Sigma 16 mm f/ 1.4 Lens with the Sony a6500, maybe it’s something to show people in a future Sony Tidbits: https://youtu.be/SHlUEBE6f8c It’s quite different from all the other videos about the lens as it’s actually shot outdoors for the most part, and shows how good the Autofocus is and how the lens works in snowy environments.”
