Sigma 16-300mm f/3.5-6.7 DC OS Contemporary Lens: Your Ultimate All-in-One Zoom
The Sigma 16-300mm f/3.5-6.7 DC OS Contemporary Lens is a groundbreaking, all-in-one zoom designed for APS-C mirrorless cameras. Offering a tremendous 18.8x zoom ratio, this lens covers everything from wide-angle to super-telephoto perspectives in a surprisingly portable package. It’s the ultimate travel lens, boasting quick autofocus, powerful optical stabilization, and impressive macro capabilities to suit virtually any shooting need.

Unmatched Versatility: Wide-Angle, Super-Telephoto & Macro
This 16-300mm lens provides a 24-450mm equivalent focal length range for APS-C cameras, making it the perfect single lens for any situation. At the wide end, it’s ideal for architecture, interiors, and landscapes. At the long end, you can capture distant action and wildlife. And throughout the middle, it handles everything from portraits to close-up subjects, street scenes, and more. It even offers robust macro capabilities with a 1:2 maximum magnification ratio at 70mm, along with 1:3 at the wide end and 1:4 at the telephoto end.

High-Speed Autofocus and Powerful Optical Stabilization
This all-in-one zoom is ready for any subject or situation, combining quick and accurate focusing with robust image stabilization:

HLA (High-response Linear Actuator) delivers swift and precise movement of the focusing group, ensuring fast focus switching and nimble tracking of even rapidly moving subjects.
A powerful image stabilization system compensates for an impressive 6 stops of camera shake at the 16mm position and 4.5 stops at the long end. Powered by Sigma’s advanced OS2 algorithm (the same used in their larger super-telephoto lenses), this stabilization system ensures handheld reliability, reducing camera shake and blur even in low light or at the longest zoom settings.
Impressive Optical Quality
Despite its vast zoom range, this lens maintains impressive optical quality. It includes a series of low dispersion glass elements and four aspherical elements to deliver excellent aberration correction, high sharpness, clarity, and accurate color rendering throughout the entire zoom and focus ranges. The optical design has been meticulously tested and adjusted to effectively resist flare and minimize ghosting in a variety of lighting conditions. Additionally, focus breathing is well-controlled, benefiting filmmaking applications and photographers working with multi-shot composite processes.

Compact, Lightweight, and Durable
Even with its massive zoom range, the lens remains remarkably compact and lightweight, measuring just 4.8″ long and weighing 1.4 lb—making it an ideal travel companion. It’s built for reliability in inclement weather with dust- and splash-resistant seals. The front element features a water- and oil-repellant coating that’s especially easy to clean. For convenience, a zoom lock switch at the wide end prevents the lens from extending when stored.
