  • Our take on the Sigma 100-400mm F5-6.3 DG DN OS Contemporary Lens

    A full-frame telephoto zoom for Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras, built to be carried and shot handheld rather than locked to a tripod. Sigma uses one FLD and four SLD elements to keep color fringing down across the range, adds four stops of optical stabilization, and drives focus with a stepping motor that is fast and near silent. On APS-C bodies it behaves like a 150-600mm. It is the lighter, more affordable way into long reach than a fast 100-400mm or a 150-600mm sports zoom, and owners accept the slower f/5-6.3 aperture as the trade-off.

    Pros
    • Compact and light for a 100-400mm full-frame zoom
    • One FLD and four SLD elements control chromatic aberration
    • Four-stop optical stabilization for handheld shooting
    • Stepping motor gives fast, near-silent autofocus
    • Works on APS-C bodies as a 150-600mm equivalent
    • Compatible with the optional TS-111 tripod socket
    Cons
    • f/5-6.3 maximum aperture is dim for dawn, dusk and indoor action
    • Not as sharp wide open at 400mm as pricier telephotos
    • No tripod collar included; the TS-111 is a separate purchase
    • Focus breathing and slower aperture make it less suited to serious video

    About the Sigma 100-400mm F5-6.3 DG DN OS Contemporary Lens

    The Sigma 100-400mm F5-6.3 DG DN OS Contemporary is a telephoto zoom lens for Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras. It is designed for full-frame models. On APS-C models it gives a 150-600mm equivalent focal length range. It belongs to the Contemporary line in Sigma's Global Vision series and has a compact, lightweight build.

    The optics include one F Low Dispersion (FLD) element and four Special Low Dispersion (SLD) elements. These reduce chromatic aberrations and color fringing throughout the zoom range. A rounded 9-blade diaphragm contributes to the bokeh quality. Optical image stabilization compensates for up to four stops of camera shake for handheld shooting.

    An integrated stepping motor drives fast, near silent autofocus, with an optimized AF algorithm for smoother focusing. The lens has a programmable AFL button, a focus limiter switch and a zoom lock switch that keeps the barrel from extending accidentally. The brass bayonet mount has rubber sealing for dust and splash resistance. The optional TS-111 Tripod Socket attaches for tripod or monopod use. The included PT-31 Protective Cover can be fitted when the socket is not used.

    Questions and answers

    Does it fit full-frame Sony E-mount cameras?
    Yes, it is built for full-frame Sony E-mount mirrorless bodies. On APS-C bodies it gives a 150-600mm equivalent range.
    How good is the stabilization?
    Sigma rates the optical stabilization at four stops, which owners say makes handheld shooting at 400mm practical.
    Is the tripod collar included?
    No. It is compatible with the optional TS-111 tripod socket, sold separately.
    Is f/6.3 at 400mm a problem?
    In good light it is fine. For dawn, dusk or indoor action the slow aperture forces higher ISO or slower shutter speeds.
    How does it compare with a 150-600mm zoom?
    It gives up reach but is smaller and lighter, which suits handheld and travel use better.
    Does it work for video?
    The stepping motor is quiet and smooth, though the slow aperture and focus breathing limit it in low light.
