The Sigma 16-300mm F3.5-6.7 DC OS is a versatile telephoto lens designed specifically for APS-C mirrorless cameras with Sony E mount. With an impressive focal length range of 16 to 300 mm, this lens offers excellent flexibility for various photographic applications, from wide-angle shots to telephoto photography. The maximum aperture of f/3.5-6.7 allows for appealing image quality, while the built-in image stabilisation minimises camera shake and ensures sharp images even in low light. The lens is also splash and dust resistant, making it a robust choice for use in a variety of conditions.

Internal focusing ensures fast and precise focussing, while the circular aperture produces an appealing background blur that is ideal for creative portrait shots.
