Product Overview
SIGMA 100-400mm F5-6.3 DG DN OS | Contemporary is an ultra-telephoto zoom lens in a lightweight and compact body.
The lens's state-of-art optical design technology ensures edge-to-edge high-resolution and high-contrast image quality throughout the entirety of its focal range, rivaling that of standard zoom lenses.
With the optics design specifically for a camera with a short flange back distance, the DG DN series of lenses achieves a supreme combination of optical performance and compactness that could not have been possible with lenses for single-lens reflex cameras. Thanks to the stepping motor system that is optimized for both phase detection AF and contrast AF, the SIGMA 100-400mm F5-6.3 DG DN OS | Contemporary makes shooting with the video or eye-tracking AF a smooth experience.

- Lightweight and compact
- Excellent image quality
- Wide-open f/5.6 aperture
Cons
- No teleconverters
- No telephoto zoom

Reviewer score 71% (normalized by Neofiliac)The Sigma 100-400mm F5-F6.3 DG DN OS Contemporary (1000 euros) is a very good lens for the price and will ideally complement the on a A7III, A9 or A7RIII. The focal range makes it very versatile for sports, portrait, landscape or animals, but if you intend to use it mostly at around 400mm you may want to look at the more suited for pure animals/birds shooting. Flare resistance is better on the Sony The background blur, bokeh balls, color rendition are excellent on both lenses.
Pros
- Very versatile for sports, portrait, landscape or animals
- Large aperture (F6.3) and high speed required for the focal length (1/250sec to 1/500sec)
Cons
- Not as sharp as the Sony FE 100-400mm OSS F4.5-F5.6
