The type of photography that you are planning to use is an important decision factor. Here we have evaluated the Sigma 16mm F1.4 DC DN L and the Sigma 24mm F1.4 DG HSM A for their suitability to various photography scenarios:
Size and Weight Comparison
The size of a lens is a crucial factor to consider when comparing two lenses. Sigma 16mm F1.4 DC DN L is the longer of the two lenses at 92mm. The Sigma 24mm F1.4 DG HSM A with a length of 90mm, is 2mm shorter. On the other hand, the Sigma 24mm F1.4 DG HSM A has a larger diameter of 85mm compared to the Sigma 16mm F1.4 DC DN L's 72mm diameter.

The weight of a lens is equally significant as its external dimensions, particularly if you intend to handhold your camera and lens combination for extended periods. Sigma 16mm F1.4 DC DN L weighs 405g, which means it is 260g (39%) lighter than the Sigma 24mm F1.4 DG HSM A which has a weight of 665g.
