Sigma 16-300mm F3.5-6.7 DC OS Contemporary All-in-One Zoom Lens for Nikon Z Mount - 887973

Sigma 887973 16-300mm F3.5-6.7 DC OS Contemporary All-in-One Zoom Lens for Nikon Z Mount

The Sigma 887973 16-300mm F3.5-6.7 DC OS Contemporary all-in-one zoom lens for Nikon Z APS-C mirrorless cameras combines approximately 18.8x zoom, 1:2 close-up magnification at 70mm, HLA autofocus and OS2 optical stabilization. Its 24-450mm equivalent focal range in 35mm format spans wide landscapes, portraits and distant wildlife, while Nikon Z-optimized autofocus drive and communication support AF-C for moving subjects. For travel and everyday photography, wide-angle, super-telephoto and close-up coverage stay within a single interchangeable lens, letting you change your composition without changing lenses.

Key Features

18.8x Zoom From Wide-Angle To Super-Telephoto

Frame interiors at the wide end, then zoom toward sports or distant wildlife without swapping lenses. The broad 16-300mm range gives travel photographers the flexibility to move between expansive scenes and faraway details as subjects change.

1:2 Close-Up Magnification At 70mm

Flowers, insects and small details become subjects in their own right, not just part of the background. Set the zoom to 70mm for the maximum 1:2 reproduction ratio; close-up capability also extends to 1:3 at the wide end and 1:4 at the telephoto end.

HLA Autofocus Optimized For Nikon Z

A High-response Linear Actuator moves the focusing group directly, rather than through gears, for fast, precise and quiet operation. Dedicated Nikon Z autofocus-drive and communication tuning, together with AF-C support, helps you follow fleeting subjects such as birds and aircraft with continuous autofocus.

OS2 Stabilization For Handheld Shooting

Longer focal lengths and dim light make camera-shake control especially useful. OS2 helps reduce handheld blur, with rated effectiveness of 6 stops at 16mm and 4.5 stops at 300mm.¹ That stabilization supports handheld photography when your composition calls for the telephoto end of the zoom.

Zoom Lock And Dust/Splash Resistance

Engage the zoom lock at the wide end to keep the barrel from extending unintentionally during transport. Sealing at the mount connection, focus ring, zoom ring and cover connection helps resist dust and splashes, while a water- and oil-repellent front coating makes contaminants easier to remove.²

Optical Control Across The Zoom Range

One FLD, four SLD and four aspherical elements work to control aberrations throughout the zoom and focusing ranges. Super Multi-Layer Coating and the optical design address flare and ghosting in difficult lighting, while the rounded nine-blade diaphragm keeps out-of-focus highlights rounded near maximum aperture. Supported-camera aberration correction adds in-camera correction options.³

Reduced Focus Breathing For Video And Focus Stacking

Refocusing can change how a scene is framed. Suppressed focus breathing limits those shifts for filmmakers and photographers combining multiple focus positions. Internal focusing also keeps the lens barrel's length unchanged during focus adjustments.

Treated Brass Mount And Aizu Production

A treated brass bayonet mount provides mechanical durability where the lens meets the camera. Each lens is manufactured in Aizu, Japan, and individually MTF tested, combining durable mount construction with individual optical testing.

Footnotes:

¹ Stabilization effectiveness measured according to CIPA guidelines using an APS-C camera at focal lengths of 16mm and 300mm.

² Dust- and splash-resistant construction is not waterproof. Significant water exposure may cause serious internal damage that cannot practically be repaired.

³ In-camera aberration correction requires a supported camera; available functions and automatic operation vary by body. Where ON/OFF controls are available, enable all correction functions or AUTO.
