In a feature-packed yet lightweight and compact body essential for many photography trips, the SIGMA 100-400mm F5-6.3 DG DN OS Contemporary delivers exceptionally high optical performance. This ultra-telephoto Zoom lens achieves image quality on par with standard Zoom lenses, such as the SIGMA 24-70mm F2.8 DG DN Art. Thus, the lens can also be seen as an ideal telephoto complement to this standard Zoom.

This mix of image quality, functionality and handiness of the SIGMA 100-400mm F5-6.3 DG DN OS Contemporary makes telephoto photography handy yet professional. The lens invites experienced and inexperienced telephoto photographers alike to take along and explore, and it's just plain fun - for snapshots and photo excursions.

SIGMA's fifth DG-DN lens - developed exclusively for mirrorless full-frame cameras.

Specially tuned for cameras with a short flange focal length, the SIGMA DG-DN lens series offers a superior combination of optical performance and compactness that would not have been possible with lenses for SLR cameras. Thanks to the stepping motor optimized for both phase detection AF and contrast AF, the SIGMA 100-400mm F5-6.3 DG DN OS Contemporary achieves absolutely smooth shooting with video and also eye-tracking AF. This lens will further expand the possibilities of photography with mirrorless cameras.

• Product Designations｜The abbreviations DG and DN indicate that the lens is suitable for full-frame cameras and designed exclusively for mirrorless cameras (with a short flange focal length).

Unparalleled image quality

The new lens is based on the latest optical design technology and is optimized for mirrorless systems. The lens construction of the SIGMA 100-400mm F5-6.3 DG DN OS Contemporary consists of 16 groups and 22 elements. These include an FLD lens and four SLD lenses, which serve to effectively correct aberrations and distortion. As a result, it delivers consistent high-resolution quality from the center of the image to the edges - at any focal length, from 100mm to 400mm.

Extensive functionality that makes ultra-telephoto professional and easy to achieve

The stepper motor, optimized according to the latest algorithm, ensures fast and smooth AF. The SIGMA 100-400mm F5-6.3 DG DN OS Contemporary also features powerful optical image stabilization (OS) that compensates for up to four exposure stops. In combination with in-camera image stabilization, rotations of the pitch and yaw axis are corrected for even stronger image stabilization.

The lens' "Dual Action Zoom" means that it can be used as both a rotating and a sliding zoom, allowing photographers to adjust the angle of view even more intuitively and quickly. It has an AFL button that can be assigned camera-selected functions, as well as a focus range limiter switch that lets you limit the AF range to your particular shooting areas to optimize it.

Lightweight and high-quality housing

SIGMA's goal with the new 100-400mm F5-6.3 DG DN OS Contemporary was not just to add a lightweight and compact ultra-teleZoom lens to the Contemporary product line. The new lens needed to be equally professional and durable. Thus, meticulous attention was paid to the installation of selected and high-quality materials in this lens as well. For example, the components to which a tripod clamp can be attached are made of a robust and dimensionally stable magnesium alloy. The tripod clamp is available as an option. By using a tripod clamp, the stress on the connection points is reduced and nothing stands in the way of longer use of a tripod.
