The Sigma Sony E-mount 100-400mm f/5-6.3 DG DN OS Contemporary lens offers an impressive range within a compact framework, making it a highly adaptable telephoto zoom lens. It combines a lightweight design with commendable optical performance. The lens incorporates a series of low dispersion glass elements that enhance clarity and color fidelity across the entire zoom spectrum while effectively minimizing chromatic aberrations and color fringing. User-friendly handling is facilitated by a stepping motor that provides rapid and nearly silent autofocus, as well as precise manual focus adjustments. Furthermore, the lens features four stops of effective optical image stabilization, which mitigates the effects of camera shake, ensuring sharper images during handheld shooting. This 100-400mm lens is also compatible with the optional TS-111 Tripod Socket, allowing for stable shooting when mounted on a tripod or monopod.

This lens, part of Sigma’s Contemporary line within the Global Vision series, is engineered to strike a harmonious balance between convenience and performance. It features a compact and lightweight design, offering versatile handling while delivering impressive optical qualities.

• The telephoto zoom lens is specifically engineered for full-frame Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras, although it is also compatible with APS-C models, offering a focal length equivalent of 150-600mm.
• To enhance clarity and color precision, the lens incorporates one F Low Dispersion (FLD) element along with four Special Low Dispersion (SLD) elements, significantly minimizing chromatic aberrations and color fringing across the entire zoom range.
• Additionally, the optical image stabilization feature effectively counteracts camera shake by up to four stops, facilitating the capture of sharp images even when shooting handheld at slower shutter speeds.
• Integrated stepping motor realizes quick and quiet autofocus, which is further complemented by an optimized AF algorithm to produce smoother focusing performance.
• At the 100mm end of the zoom range, a minimum focusing distance of 3.7′ is available, and at the 400mm end, the minimum focusing distance is 5.2′ with a maximum magnification of 1:4.1.
• Rounded 9-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality.
• The integrated AFL button is programmable to modify a range of shooting settings, while the lens is equipped with a focus limiter switch that enhances focusing speed within specified distance ranges. Additionally, a zoom lock switch is provided to prevent unintentional extension of the barrel.
• The brass bayonet enhances mounting precision and stability, and the design includes rubber sealing to ensure dust and splash resistance.
• This lens is compatible with the optional TS-111 Tripod Socket, allowing for use on a tripod or monopod. Furthermore, the included PT-31 Protective Cover can be affixed to the lens to maintain a cohesive appearance when the tripod socket is not in use.
