Lens Overview — Sigma 100-400mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM

The Sigma 100-400mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM Contemporary is a full-frame telephoto zoom lens built for photographers who need serious reach without committing to a fixed focal length. Covering a focal length range from 100mm to 400mm, it gives you the flexibility to frame everything from medium-distance subjects to far-off wildlife or action in a single lens. The maximum aperture sits at f/5 at the wide end, which is a reasonable starting point for a zoom of this range.

Optical image stabilization is built in, helping to counteract camera shake at longer focal lengths where handholding becomes more demanding. Autofocus is supported alongside manual focus control, giving you the option to switch between the two as your shooting situation demands. The lens is compatible with Canon EF, Nikon F, Sony E, and L-Mount camera systems, making it an unusually versatile option across a wide range of camera bodies — both DSLR and mirrorless platforms are covered.

At 1,160g, it sits in a reasonable weight class for a telephoto zoom of this reach. The 67mm filter thread is a relatively modest size for a lens of this focal length, which keeps filter costs manageable.

Key Features — Sigma 100-400mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM

Multi-Mount Availability: Available in Canon EF, Nikon F, Sony E, and L-Mount versions, making it usable across a broad range of DSLR and mirrorless camera systems.

67mm Filter Thread: Relatively compact filter diameter for a 400mm-capable lens, keeping the cost of compatible filters lower than larger telephoto alternatives.
