Sigma 16-300mm F3.5-6.7 DC OS | Contemporary lens for Sony E 

Wide-angle, super-telephoto and macro photography in one lens

Boasting a 16-300mm zoom, covering the entire range from wide-angle to super-telephoto, this extremely versatile lens brings the full range of photographic subjects within reach, from landscapes and portraits to wildlife and sports photography.

• Versatile All-In-One Zoom Lens
• HLA-Driven High-Speed AF Motor
• Optical Stabilisation & OS2 Algorithm
• 1:2 Max. Magnification at 70mm Position
• Low Dispersion and Aspherical Elements
• Dust- and Splash-Resistant Design

With a maximum magnification ratio of 1:2, the 16-300mm F3.5-6.7 DC OS | Contemporary captures detailed close-ups with ease. Its HLA (High-response Linear Actuator) motor provides exceptionally fast, smooth and accurate autofocus – ideal for fast-moving subjects such as birds and aircraft.

The lens offers 6 stops of image stabilisation at the wide end and 4.5 stops at the telephoto end, helping photographers achieve blur-free results even at longer focal lengths and in low light.

This ultra versatile all-in-one zoom is the perfect tool for creative photographers who want to work in a wide range of photographic genres.

Maximum magnification ratio of 1:2 at 70mm for striking close-ups

With a maximum magnification ratio of 1:2 at 70mm, the Sigma 16-300mm F3.5-6.7 DC OS | Contemporary provides excellent close-up performance, perfect for capturing flowers, insects and other small subjects in great detail.

With a maximum magnification of 1:3 at the wide end and 1:4 at the telephoto end, photographers have access to a huge range of creative expression.

Small, lightweight and portable

Despite its impressive zoom range of 16-300mm, the Sigma 16-300mm F3.5-6.7 DC OS | Contemporary prioritises high portability. This is achieved through advanced mechanical and optical design, including a high refractive index glass element with significant thickness variation and an aspherical lens element.

Image stabilisation for effortless shooting with reliable results

To help photographers capture even the most fleeting moments, the Sigma 16-300mm F3.5-6.7 DC OS | Contemporary uses a High-response Linear Actuator (HLA) motor to achieve high-speed autofocus functionality with excellent drive accuracy.

Outstanding optical stabilisation powered by the OS2 Algorithm

Inspired by the same technology that powers Sigma’s super-telephoto lenses used by professional wildlife and sports photographers, the Sigma 16-300mm F3.5-6.7 DC OS | Contemporary features 6 stops of optical stabilisation at the wide end and 4.5 stops at the telephoto end.

The OS2 optical stabilisation algorithm provides superior image stabilisation to mitigate the effects of camera shake, helping photographers achieve blur-free results without the need for a tripod, even when shooting in low light and at full zoom.

Equipped with a zoom lock switch

The Sigma 16-300mm F3.5-6.7 DC OS | Contemporary features a zoom lock switch that can be fixed at the wide end to prevent the lens from extending.

Dust & splash-resistant structure* and water-repellent coating

Designed to help photographers work in all environments, the Sigma 16-300mm F3.5-6.7 DC OS | Contemporary features a dust- and splash-resistant structure for use in harsh conditions. In addition, the front element features a water- and oil-repellent coating that helps keep the lens free of contaminants.

* The structure is designed to be dust- and splash-resistant, but not waterproof. Be careful not to bring the lens in contact with a large amount of water. Water inside the lens may cause major damage and even render the lens unrepairable.

Consistently high image quality across the entire zoom range

Thanks to its advanced optical design with 1 FLD, 4 SLD and 4 aspherical elements, the lens has excellent aberration correction and delivers sharp results throughout the whole zoom and focus range.

Engineered to minimise flare and ghosting

By measuring light incidence under all conditions and using advanced simulation technology, the Sigma 16-300mm F3.5-6.7 DC OS | Contemporary guarantees superior resistance to flare and ghosting, allowing photographers to capture crisp, clear images in even the most challenging lighting conditions – just as an all-in-one lens should.

Suppressed focus breathing for consistent framing

The Sigma 16-300mm F3.5-6.7 DC OS | Contemporary is designed to effectively suppress focus breathing, making it a perfect choice for filmmakers as well as photographers working with multi-shot techniques such as focus stacking. Throughout the zoom range, changes in angle of view are kept to an absolute minimum when changing focus.

Made in Japan

All Sigma cameras and lenses are designed, manufactured and assembled at our sole factory at Aizu in Japan. This domestic production model is unusual in today’s industry, with most imaging companies opting to outsource to other countries to reduce costs. But SIGMA believes that keeping virtually all manufacturing, processing and assembly in Aizu is essential for creating innovative, carefully thought-out and impeccably constructed products that meet the high standards demanded by professional photographers and film-makers around the world.
