Sigma 16-300mm f/3.5-6.7 DC OS Contemporary Lens for Sony E

Experience the ultimate versatility in a single lens with the Sigma 16‑300 mm F3.5‑6.7 DC OS | Contemporary. Featuring a groundbreaking 18.8× zoom ratio—the largest among APS‑C mirrorless lenses—this compact powerhouse spans focal lengths from ultra-wide 16 mm to super-telephoto 300 mm (approx. 24–450 mm equivalent, or ~25.6–480 mm for Canon RF)

Despite its sweeping range, the lens remains highly portable, measuring just about 73.8 mm in diameter and 121–123 mm in length, and weighing approximately 615 g (625 g for Canon RF)

Its advanced optical design—featuring 20 elements in 14 groups, including FLD, SLD, and aspherical elements—delivers impressive sharpness, distortion control, and minimal chromatic aberration across the zoom range

Macro enthusiasts will appreciate its 1:2 maximum magnification at 70 mm, enabling detailed close-ups of flowers, insects, and small subjects; the lens also offers 1:3 at the wide end and 1:4 at telephoto

For fast and precise autofocus, the lens utilizes Sigma’s High‑response Linear Actuator (HLA) motor, ideal for capturing dynamic subjects like birds and athletes

Its image stabilization, driven by the OS2 algorithm, provides up to 6 stops of compensation at the wide end and 4.5 stops at the telephoto end for blur-free handheld shooting

Built for resilience, this lens features a dust- and splash-resistant structure and a water- and oil-repellent coating on the front element. It also includes a zoom lock switch to prevent creep when carried

Additionally, it is optimized to suppress focus breathing—making it a solid option for video work and techniques like focus stacking
