Sigma presents the world’s first1 mirrorless lens with an approximate zoom ratio of 18.8x.
Powerful yet portable, the 16-300mm F3.5-6.7 DC OS | Contemporary delivers outstanding results in any situation.

The all-new Sigma 16-300mm F3.5-6.7 DC OS | Contemporary features an 18.8x zoom ratio, the world’s largest1 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 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 stabilization at the wide end and 4.5 stops2 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 F3.5-6.7 DC OS | Contemporary is the world’s first mirrorless lens with an 18.8x zoom ratio. Equivalent to 24-450mm1 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 615g1. 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 stabilization 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 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 end1. 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 structure1 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.
1 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.

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 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.
