Sigma 16-300mm f/3.5-6.7 DC OS Contemporary Lens for Sony E Summary
Sigma has developed a new all-in-one superzoom, expanding its range of APS-C lenses for Sony E mount, while bringing its most extensive zoom lens to Sony’s crop-sensor mirrorless cameras. The Sigma 16-300mm f/3.5-6.7 DC OS Contemporary Lens for Sony E offers an 18.8x zoom ratio, which covers an impressive 24-450mm full-frame equivalent focal length. From landscapes to close-ups and distant subjects, this all-in-one superzoom covers practically every situation from just a single compact lens.
Despite its extended reach, the Sigma 16-300mm is lightweight at just 550g, making it a great choice for travel and everyday shooting. Sigma’s OS2 Optical Stabilisation enables steadier handheld shots, helping to reduce blur at longer focal lengths, and shoot in lower light conditions. The lens features Sigma’s High-response Linear Actuator (HLA) autofocus motor, which is tried and tested to deliver fast, silent, and precise focusing for both stills and video.
A minimum focus distance of 17cm and 1:2 macro magnification at the wide end of the range enable impressive close-up photography, while extending the versatility of the lens as a true all-rounder.
An advanced optical formula from Sigma includes FLD, SLD, and aspherical elements to control aberrations and maintain sharp image quality across the entire zoom range. The Sigma 16-300mm f/3.5-6.7 DC OS Contemporary is an ideal all-in-one lens for Sony E users looking for maximum versatility in a single package.

Sigma 16-300mm f/3.5-6.7 DC OS Contemporary Lens for Sony E 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.

Our Verdict
The Sigma 16-300mm f/3.5-6.7 DC OS Contemporary Lens for Sony E delivers Sigma’s most extensive zoom reach in its APS-C lineup, covering everything from wide-angle to telephoto with a 24-450mm full-frame equivalent focal range. The versatility of this superzoom lens eliminates the need to carry multiple lenses, which is ideal for travel, wildlife, sports, and everyday photography.
Despite its vast zoom range, Sigma has optimised the optical design with FLD, SLD, and aspherical elements, reducing chromatic aberrations and ensuring consistent image quality. OS2 Optical Stabilisation also delivers up to 6 stops of stabilisation at 16mm and 4.5 stops at 300mm, allowing for steadier handheld shooting as well as great performance in low-light conditions, and at longer focal lengths.
Sigma’s HLA autofocus motor provides smooth and responsive focusing, so this lens is equally suited to stills and video work for hybrid creators, while close-up capabilities allow for more creative shooting and tele-macro images. Weighing just 625g, the lens is lightweight and easy to handle, and possibly the perfect all-in-one zoom for Sony APS-C photographers who need excellent reach from one single lens.
