For Nikon Z users, this single compact lens provides the flexibility to photograph everything from landscapes, travel and architecture to portraits, wildlife, sports and aviation without the need to change lenses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eWith an approximate full-frame equivalent focal range of 24-450mm on most APS-C systems, the Sigma 16-300mm is an ideal travel and everyday photography lens for photographers who want maximum versatility in a single setup. The lens also delivers impressive close-up capability, with a maximum magnification ratio of 1:2 at 70mm, making it useful for flowers, insects, products and detailed subjects as well as conventional photography.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e18.8x All-In-One Zoom Range\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eThe huge 16-300mm focal range makes this Sigma Contemporary lens one of the most versatile APS-C zoom lenses available. At 16mm, it provides a wide-angle perspective for landscapes, interiors, architecture and travel photography, while extending all the way to 300mm for wildlife, birds, sports and distant subjects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eThis makes the lens particularly attractive to travel photographers and anyone who wants to carry one lens rather than a collection of wide-angle, standard and telephoto lenses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHigh-Speed HLA Autofocus\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eThe Sigma 16-300mm F3.5-6.7 DC OS Contemporary features Sigma's High-response Linear Actuator (HLA) autofocus motor, providing fast, smooth and accurate autofocus across the extensive zoom range. This makes it well suited to photographing moving subjects, including birds, wildlife, aircraft and sports.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOptical Stabilisation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eSigma's OS2 Optical Stabilisation system provides up to 6 stops of stabilisation at the 16mm wide-angle setting and up to 4.5 stops at 300mm, helping to reduce the effects of camera shake when shooting handheld. This is particularly useful when working at longer focal lengths or in lower-light conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eImpressive Close-Up Performance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eDespite its enormous zoom range, the Sigma 16-300mm also performs exceptionally well for close-up photography. The lens achieves a maximum 1:2 magnification ratio at 70mm, allowing small subjects to fill the frame with impressive detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eMinimum focusing distances range from just 17cm at the wide end to 105cm at the telephoto end. This combination of wide-angle, telephoto and close-focusing capability makes it an extremely flexible lens for everyday creative photography.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAdvanced Optical Construction\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eThe optical design consists of 20 elements in 14 groups, including one FLD glass element, four SLD glass elements and four aspherical elements. These specialised optical elements are designed to control aberrations and maintain high image quality throughout the extensive zoom range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eSigma has also designed the lens to minimise flare and ghosting, while focus breathing is suppressed to help maintain consistent framing when changing focus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCompact and Travel-Friendly Contemporary Design\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eDespite covering an enormous 16-300mm range, the Sigma 16-300mm F3.5-6.7 DC OS Contemporary remains relatively compact and portable for an APS-C superzoom. The lens weighs approximately 615g in several current mount versions and measures around 73.8mm in diameter, making it a practical choice for travel and everyday photography.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eA zoom lock switch at the wide end helps prevent unwanted lens extension when carrying the lens, while the dust- and splash-resistant structure and water- and oil-repellent front coating provide additional protection for outdoor photography. The lens is not waterproof and should not be exposed to large amounts of water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul data-spread=\"false\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSigma 16-300mm F3.5-6.7 DC OS Contemporary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNikon Z mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned for APS-C mirrorless cameras\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHuge 18.8x optical zoom range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e16-300mm focal length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApprox. 24-450mm full-frame equivalent on most APS-C systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ef\/3.5-6.7 maximum aperture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e20 elements in 14 groups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 FLD glass element\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 SLD glass elements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 aspherical elements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e9-blade rounded diaphragm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimum aperture f\/22-45\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHLA High-response Linear Actuator autofocus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOS2 Optical Stabilisation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUp to 6 stops optical stabilisation at 16mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUp to 4.5 stops optical stabilisation at 300mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e17cm minimum focusing distance at 16mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e105cm minimum focusing distance at 300mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1:2 maximum magnification at 70mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e67mm filter thread\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZoom lock switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDust- and splash-resistant construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWater- and oil-repellent front coating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlare and ghosting resistant optical design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuppressed focus breathing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact Contemporary-series design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eFocal Length: 16-300mm\u003cbr\u003eMaximum Aperture: f\/3.5-6.7\u003cbr\u003eMinimum Aperture: f\/22-45\u003cbr\u003eSensor Format: APS-C\u003cbr\u003eLens Construction: 20 elements in 14 groups\u003cbr\u003eFLD Elements: 1\u003cbr\u003eSLD Elements: 4\u003cbr\u003eAspherical Elements: 4\u003cbr\u003eDiaphragm Blades: 9, rounded diaphragm\u003cbr\u003eAngle of View: Up to 83.2°-5.4°\u003cbr\u003eMinimum Focusing Distance: 17cm wide - 105cm telephoto\u003cbr\u003eMaximum Magnification Ratio: 1:2 at 70mm\u003cbr\u003eFilter Size: 67mm\u003cbr\u003eAutofocus Motor: HLA High-response Linear Actuator\u003cbr\u003eOptical Stabilisation: OS2\u003cbr\u003eImage Stabilisation: Up to 6 stops wide \/ 4.5 stops telephoto\u003cbr\u003eZoom Ratio: 18.8x\u003cbr\u003eMount: Nikon Z\u003cbr\u003eLens Type: APS-C Mirrorless Superzoom\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIdeal For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eThe Sigma 16-300mm F3.5-6.7 DC OS Contemporary Nikon Z Lens is ideal for travel photographers, wildlife photographers, birdwatchers, sports photographers, aviation enthusiasts, landscape photographers, family photographers and everyday shooters who want an incredibly versatile single-lens solution.
