Description
Sigma 100-400mm
Presenting impressive reach in a relatively compact design, the Sony E-mount 100-400mm f5-6.3 DG DN OS Contemporary lens, from Sigma, is a versatile telephoto zoom mixing a hand-held able design with apt optical performance.
A series of low dispersion glass elements are used to achieve high clarity and colour accuracy throughout the zoom range, and to suppress chromatic aberrations and colour fringing.
Complementing the optics is intuitive handling, in which a stepping motor delivers fast, near-silent autofocus performance along with fine-tuned manual focus control.
Additionally, four stop-effective optical image stabilization helps to reduce the appearance of camera shake for sharper handheld shooting and this 100-400mm is also compatible with the optional TS-111 Tripod Socket for steady shooting atop a tripod or monopod.
Sigma 100-400mm
- As part of the Contemporary line within Sigma’s Global Vision series, this lens is designed to achieve a balance between convenience and performance, and meshes a compact, lightweight build and versatile handling with notable optical attributes.
- Telephoto zoom is designed for full-frame Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras, but can also work with APS-C models where it provides a 150-600mm equivalent focal length range.
- One F Low Dispersion (FLD) element and four Special Low Dispersion (SLD) elements markedly reduce chromatic aberrations and colour fringing throughout the zoom range for improved clarity and colour accuracy.
- Optical image stabilization compensates for up to four stops of camera shake to help realize sharp imagery when shooting handheld with 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.
- Integrated AFL button can be programmed to adjust various shooting settings and the lens also features a focus limiter switch for faster focusing performance within certain distance ranges. There is a zoom lock switch to prevent the barrel from accidentally extended.
- Rounded 9-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality.
- Brass bayonet affords improved mounting accuracy and rigidity and rubber sealing is incorporated in the mount’s design to render it dust- and splash-resistant.
- Compatible with optional TS-111 Tripod Socket for working atop a tripod or monopod; the included PT-31 Protective Cover can be attached to the lens to maintain a seamless appearance if the tripod socket is not used.
It is rare that you find a super-telephoto zoom lens that is lightweight enough to use for casual outings. The Sigma 100-400mm f5-6.3 DG DN OS Contemporary Lens offers remarkable optical performance and a full range of functionalities in a compact body for exceptional lightweight shooting.
Sigma 100-400mm
This is Sigma’s first ultra-telephoto zoom lens for full-frame mirrorless cameras and works on Sony E and APS-C models where it provides a 150-600mm equivalent focal length.
An optical image stabilisation compensates for up to four stops of camera shake for sharper handheld shots even at slow shutter speeds, while an optimised stepping motor system for both phase-detection AF and contrast AF makes shooting with the video or eye-tracking AF very smooth.
One F Low Dispersion (FLD) element and four Special Low Dispersion (SLD) elements reduce chromatic aberrations and colour fringing throughout the zoom range for improved clarity and colour accuracy, and a rounded 9-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality. There is a zoom lock switch to prevent the barrel from accidentally extended.
- E-Mount Lens/Full-Frame Format
- Aperture Range: f5 to f29
- One FLD Element, Four SLD Elements
- Stepping Motor AF System
- Dust- and splash-resistant
The lens is compatible with optional TS-111 Tripod Socket for working atop a tripod or monopod; the included PT-31 Protective Cover can be attached to the lens to maintain a seamless appearance if the tripod socket is not used.

Other Features
- Mount with dust- and splash-proof structure: The mount features a special sealing to make the lens an excellent choice in a wide variety of conditions.
- High-precision, rugged brass bayonet mount: The brass mount combines high precision with rugged construction. Its treated surfaces and enhanced strength contribute to the exceptional durability of the lens.
- Rounded diaphragm: The 9-blade rounded diaphragm creates an attractive blur in the out-of-focus areas of the image.
- Designed to minimise flare and ghosting: From an early stage in the lens design process, flare and ghosting have been measured to establish an optical design resistant to strong incident light sources such as backlighting. SIGMA’s Super Multi-Layer Coating reduces flare and ghosting to help photographers produce sharp and high contrast images even in backlit conditions.
- Compatible with Lens Aberration Correction: Matching the optical characteristics of the lens, this function performs in-camera corrections of peripheral illumination, chromatic aberrations, distortion, and more, to further enhance image quality.
