Sigma 16-300mm f/3.5-6.7 DC OS Contemporary Lens for L Mount Summary
The Sigma 16-300mm f/3.5-6.7 DC OS Contemporary Lens for L Mount is an incredibly portable and highly versatile superzoom for APS-C format mirrorless cameras. With an extensive 18.8x zoom ratio, this all-in-one lens covers a focal range equivalent to 24-450mm in full-frame terms, which is suitable for everything from wide-angle landscapes to distant telephoto subjects like sports and wildlife.
Despite its extensive zoom capabilities, this L mount lens is surprisingly compact and lightweight, measuring just 121.4mm in length and weighing in at a mere 615g. It also features high-speed autofocus, which is driven by Sigma’s High-response Linear Actuator (HLA), as well as optical stabilisation with the latest OS2 algorithm from Sigma. This provides up to 6 stops of stabilisation at 16mm and 4.5 stops at 300mm to help capture sharp results while handholding. Additionally, this means that the lens can be used in low-light conditions without always needing a tripod.
The 16-300mm f/3.5-6.7 DC OS features a dust and splash-resistant structure, along with a water and oil-repellent front coating to reduce cleaning and maintenance. Whether you need a single superzoom lens for travel, wildlife, and everyday photography, the Sigma 16-300mm offers an extensive zoom reach, with excellent optical quality and portability from an all-in-one design.

Sigma 16-300mm f/3.5-6.7 DC OS Contemporary Lens for L Mount in More Detail
Ultra Versatile Zoom Range
The Sigma 16-300mm f/3.5-6.7 DC OS Contemporary is the world’s first APS-C mirrorless lens with an 18.8x zoom ratio. It covers an extensive focal length from wide-angle to super-telephoto, allowing you to adapt to a variety of shooting situations, from travel and landscapes to wildlife and sports with just this single all-in-one superzoom.
This versatility means that photographers can switch between capturing epic scenery at 16mm to incredible telephoto shots at 300mm without needing to change lenses.
Outstanding Close-up Performance
A key feature of this zoom is its 1:2 macro capability at 70mm, which allows for frame-filling close-up photography and video content creation. A tele-macro is ideal for capturing detailed shots of flowers, insects and more, and the lens provides sharp and detailed results at short focusing distances of just 17cm at the wide end to 105cm at telephoto end of the range.
Advanced Autofocus and Optical Stabilisation
Fast and accurate autofocus is powered by Sigma’s familiar High-response Linear Actuator (HLA), which ensures smooth subject tracking, even when capturing fast-moving subjects like birds or sports and action.
The optical stabilisation system delivers 6 stops of shake compensation at 16mm and 4.5 stops at 300mm, making handheld shooting far more effective, particularly in low-light conditions or at long focal lengths.
Portable and reliable
Despite such extensive zoom capabilities, the lens is very portable with a weight of just 615g. Its construction includes Sigma’s signature dust and splash-resistant structure, which provides the confidence to shoot outdoors during poor conditions. The front element is also coated with a water and oil-repellent coat, which helps to keep the glass cleaner and free from dust and smears, even in adverse weather.
Optical Quality
Sigma’s advanced optical formula includes 1 FLD (low-dispersion), 4 SLD (super-low dispersion), and 4 aspherical elements. This combination reduces chromatic aberrations, distortion, and ghosting, maintaining high image quality across the entire zoom range. The lens also includes a rounded diaphragm thanks to 9 aperture blades, which allows you to capture smooth bokeh balls and create soft defocus effects when shooting wide open.
Additionally, the lens is able to suppress focus breathing, which is ideal for video work as well as stills photography when focus stacking.
