Sigma 16-300mm F3.5-6.7 DC OS | Contemporary

The 16-300mm F3.5-6.7 DC OS | Contemporary is designed for APS-C format mirrorless cameras and boasts an 18.8x zoom ratio, the largest in its category as of February 2025. This lens covers a focal range equivalent to 24-450mm in 35mm format, making it suitable for a wide variety of photography genres, from landscapes and portraits to wildlife and sports.

Key Features

• Versatile Zoom Range: The lens offers a wide-angle 16mm setting for landscapes and interiors, extending to a super-telephoto 300mm for capturing distant subjects like wildlife or aircraft.
• Close-Up Capability: With a maximum magnification ratio of 1:2 at 70mm, the lens is capable of detailed close-ups, ideal for macro photography.
• Compact and Lightweight: Despite its extensive zoom range, the lens measures 73.8mm in diameter and 121.4mm in length, weighing just 615g (L-Mount version). This makes it highly portable for on-the-go shooting.
• High-Speed Autofocus: The High-response Linear Actuator (HLA) ensures fast, smooth, and accurate autofocus, particularly useful for capturing fast-moving subjects.
• Image Stabilization: The lens features 6 stops of optical stabilization at the wide end, and 4.5 stops at the telephoto end, reducing camera shake and enabling sharper images in low-light conditions.
• Dust- and Splash-Resistant Design: The lens is built to withstand harsh environments, with a dust- and splash-resistant structure and a water-repellent coating on the front element.
