## Overview

The Sigma100-400mm F5-6.3 Contemporary DG DN OS is a high-performance telephoto zoom lens designed specifically for full-frame mirrorless cameras. With its impressive zoom range, fast aperture, and advanced optical stabilization, this lens is perfect for capturing stunning images in various shooting conditions.

## Description

Presenting impressive reach in a relatively compact design, the Sony E-mount 100-400mm f/5-6.3 DG DN OS Contemporary lens, from Sigma, is a versatile telephoto zoom mixing a hand-holdable design with apt optical performance. A series of low dispersion glass elements are used to achieve high clarity and color accuracy throughout the zoom range, and to suppress chromatic aberrations and color fringing. Complementing the optics is intuitive handling, in which a stepping motor delivers fast, near-silent autofocus performance along with fine-tuned manual focus control. Additionally, four stop-effective optical image stabilization helps to reduce the appearance of camera shake for sharper handheld shooting and this 100-400mm is also compatible with the optional TS-111 Tripod Socket for steady shooting atop a tripod or monopod.

Review: Which telephoto zoom: Sigma, Sony, or Tamron? - It’s hard to fault the excellent Sony 100-400 but as a longtime pro I’m at times reluctant to take a 3 lb. lens on the road or hike long back country treks with it. I’ve been seeking a lighter long tele zoom option and have compared four alternatives in depth. Let’s discuss in detail starting with the best in class Sony 100-400 f 4.5-5.6 that costs $2,500, out of the price range of most. Can others compete? (See photo comparing lens sizes) Read on: SONY 100-400mm f4.5-5.6 GM I specialize in tech reviews and am well known in the photo world. I have regularly used the finest glass from Canon, Nikon and Sony including 300mm f2.8, 400mm f2.8 and 500mm f4 lenses. I’ve had this Sony for a year and think it’s a great lens. So why look elsewhere? Simply said, weight! At 3+ pounds, it can be fatiguing although optically it is the best lens in this group. I’m not selling the Sony but went on the hunt for a lighter long zoom to carry in the outback, or to pack for shooting trips. SIGMA 100-400mm f5-6.3 DG DN OS At 38% the cost of the Sony, this is a marvelous lens! After testing four alternatives to the heavy Sony, I am enthusiastically keeping this one, too. Let’s talk its strengths and a few weaknesses you may have read about: Optically, it gives s 95% of the quality, again at 38% of the cost. I use Sony’s most demanding body to compare optical quality, the 61 MP A7rIV. Although I don’t bother with pixel peeping when getting down to the joy of seeking great shooting situations, when buying a lens it’s wise. The Sigma goes head to head with the Sony in focusing speed and tracking. You may have read some reviews of pre-release lenses that slightly trailed the Sony. The firmware has been updated. This lens tracks well. As a pro whose reputation rests on getting THE shot, I’m confident in it. In terms of “speed” the Sony is 1/3 of an f-stop faster. That’s only the difference between choosing an ISO of 1000 vs 800. Today’s mirrorless cameras are superb with higher ISO shooting and for the first time you should feel confident shooting at 3200 ISO and even higher. I recommend the superb DeepPRIME software from DxO for noise reduction. It’s the best but Topaz Denoise is also quite good. Both Sony and Sigma has excellent image stabilization. I have learned that in body stabilization (IBIS) is much better for wider lenses. For long telephotos like these, you’ll need it for a higher hit rate at shutter speeds under 1/250. Now for the biggest Sigma selling point. It weights 2.5 pounds versus 3.4 for the Sony. Yes, you will realize this after only five minutes carrying it. For a lens with 400mm reach this is excellent. It's also thinner and easier to stow in a camera bag without a separate sling bag, depending on your shooting style. Thus, I’m happily keeping this razor sharp and comfortable to carry Sigma. Let’s explore other good options, too: TAMRON 70-300mm f5-6.3 RXD In short an absolutely great lens at a fantastic price, if you can live with the shortcomings. I’ll include a link below to my review: The Tamron weighs mere 19 ounces at 20% the cost of the Sony. It’s reach is only 300mm but that’s enough for many. On the downside, it’s a lens only for bright light. With no image stabilization built into the lens, it does not compete for highest image quality when you must use a lower shutter speed. In good light, it exhibits terrific and sharp optics, indeed. Here’s a link to my review of the not quite as well-built Tamron but still recommended Tamron: https://www.desertcart.com/review/R2SD7APT0NVX1G/ref=cm_cr_srp_d_rdp_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B08K3MXZCZ SONY 70-350mm f4.5-6.3 G OSS The Sony 70-350 is 22 ounces and with the higher weight comes has longer reach although it is slightly shorter than the Tamron. In APS-C mode this Sony gives truly impressive 105-525mm reach. Yet, I don’t recommend it for non APS-C cameras. I’ve tested two and sharpness does not compete with any of the lenses above on full frame cameras. However, for APS-C cameras, it delivers reliable images with the advantages that come with image stabilization, too, However, my keeper rate with this lens incorporating Sony OSS was not a great deal higher than the Tamron without it. Here’s my review: https://www.desertcart.com/review/R15P98AHU5QXKF/ref=cm_cr_srp_d_rdp_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B07X72DMLC SONY 70-300mm f4.5-5.6 G OSS Simply said, this lens has an older tech focusing motor and is not as sharp as any of the lenses above. There is nothing wrong with this lens but it is overmatched and way overpriced in today’s market. Not worth considering although I am in general a huge fan of Sony’s awesome optics. Look for a future redesign of this lens to again make it competitive. Hope this too long review has been of some small help. Keep shootin’ strong!
Review: Good choice for me compared to Sony - I debated with myself for a long time about which telephoto lens to get for my Sony a7iii. I initially was leaning towards the Sony GM 100-400. However the cost was a concern, plus I felt it would be nice to get more reach for birding photos. This led me to consider the Sony 200-600 lens. It is less expensive and has a longer reach and is a fixed barrel instead of a pumper zoom, but it is big (12.5") and quite heavy (4.65 lbs). I might have gone with the 200-600 despite the size and weight, but then I noticed its closest focus was 8 feet compared to 3 feet for the 100-400. I considered my potential photo subjects and decided I wanted more versatility, because not all nature shots are far away, so that shifted my attention back to the 100-400 range. I then discovered this Sigma 100-400 lens. It is significantly less expensive than the Sony (40%!), had good reviews regarding image quality, and weighs 2.5 lbs compared to 3.1 for the Sony 100-400 (or 4.65 lbs for the 200-600). A fairly common complaint I read about the Sony 100-400 was that the zoom would extend when carrying the camera with the lens down while hiking. The Sigma has a switch on the lens to lock it closed at 100mm so it can't move. Some people felt that the Sony zoom moved too easily so tended to creep. I have found the Sigma lens zoom to move easily, but also firmly so it stays put. An advantage of the Sony is the f4.5-5.6 vs Sigma f5.6-6.3. However for the price, it was worth it to me to sacrifice a bit of ISO or shutter speed to compensate for the f-stop. Sony had a teleconverter for their lens to get more reach (but also more weight, more money, and loss of f-stop). Sigma has teleconverters, but not yet one for this lens. The Sigma lens did not come with a tripod removable ring and foot, which I ended up buying. Even though I get good handheld shots, I figured with the somewhat darker f-stop and because the lens does have some substantial weight I would probably want to use a tripod at times. You will not want to use the mount on the camera body because that will put substantial strain on the lens mount and it will be unstable. I also decided that when using this lens that it would be safer and more comfortable to use a shoulder strap tied to the lens ring rather than use the neck strap connected to the camera body rings. The Sigma lens ring comes with a arca-swiss foot for the tripod mount. The Sony lens comes with a tripod ring and removable foot, I think you had to buy a replacement foot to get the arca-swiss mount. In summary, I am loving this Sigma 100-400 lens. It is versatile, gets very clear shots, is easy to handle, and the price made it a clear choice for me.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great lens
*by R***R on February 20, 2026*

Full frame lens, F6.3 at 400 mm ( not a very fast lens in low light situations). Quick autofocus, sharp images, excellent range on my APSC Sony A6700. I leave this lens on all the time on this camera and have got outstanding images and lovely bokeh. The lens has a AF/MF toggle, which can occasionally be get switched while taking the lens outs of a tight bag- can take some time to figure out since Sony only gives a general error message and an important shot can be missed
