BEST-IN-CLASS OPTICAL PERFORMANCE
By employing three aspheric lenses, this zoom lens thoroughly subdues
aberrations such as axial chromatic aberration or sagittal coma aberration,
which are difficult to correct in post-processing, tailors the resolution and
achieves uniformity and superior optical performance from the center to the
periphery throughout the zoom range.
Wide-angle, super-telephoto and macro photography in one lens
The Sigma 16-300mm F3.5-6.7 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.
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 prioritizes 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.
Accelerated AF speed and accuracy with HLA autofocus motor
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 stabilization 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 stabilization at the wide end
and 4.5 stops at the telephoto end. The latest OS2 optical stabilization
algorithm provides superior image stabilization 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 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- and 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.
Uncompromising optical quality that redefines the standard for
super-zoom performance
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 minimize 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.
