Sigma presents the world’s first mirrorless lens with an approximate zoom ratio of 18.8x.

Powerful yet portable, the 16-300mm f/3.5-6.7 DC OS Contemporary delivers outstanding results in any situation.

The all-new Sigma 16-300mm f/3.5-6.7 DC OS Contemporary features an 18.8x zoom ratio, the world’s largest for an APS-C format mirrorless lens. 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.

With a maximum magnification ratio of 1:2, the 16-300mm f/3.5-6.7 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.

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

The world’s first 18.8x zoom with a 16mm wide-angle setting

The Sigma 16-300mm f/3.5-6.7 DC OS Contemporary is the world’s first mirrorless lens with an 18.8x zoom ratio. Equivalent to 24-450mm in 35mm format, this portable lens covers everything from wide-angle for landscapes and interiors to super-telephoto for sports, wildlife and aviation.

With a maximum magnification ratio of 1:2 at 70mm, the Sigma 16-300mm f/3.5- 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 f/3.5-6.7 DC OS Contemporary prioritises high portability, measuring just 73.8mm in diameter by 121.4mm in length and weighing just 615g. 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.

High-speed autofocus and image stabilisation for effortless shooting with reliable results
Accelerated AF speed and accuracy with HLA autofocus motor

To help photographers capture even the most fleeting moments, the Sigma 16- 300mm f/3.5-6.7 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 f/3.5-6.7 DC OS Contemporary features 6 stops of optical stabilisation at the wide end and 4.5 stops at the telephoto end1. The latest 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 at the wide end

The Sigma 16-300mm f/3.5-6.7 DC OS Contemporary features a zoom lock switch that can be fixed at the wide end to prevent the lens from extending.

Dust- and splash-resistant structure1 and water-repellent coating

Designed to help photographers work in all environments, the Sigma 16-300mm f/3.5-6.7 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.

Uncompromising optical quality that redefines the standard for super-zoom performance
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 f/3.5-6.7 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 f/3.5-6.7 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 the angle of view are kept to an absolute minimum when changing focus.
