I take sharp and clear photos with the Sigma 16-300mm lens. I use the version for Canon system cameras with RF mount. The lens is nice and small. I think it's a shame that the lens has a variable aperture. This makes it less suitable for dark conditions.
Sturdy and compact design The lens is neatly packed in the box. There is a lens cover around it that protects it from scratches. When I take it out, it feels sturdy. For the large zoom range of 16-300mm, I find the lens very small and light. The weight is balanced in combination with my Canon EOS R, with which I test it. I take the camera and lens outside and photograph many different subjects.
Versatile in use I really like the large zoom range, this makes the lens versatile in use. For example, I take photos with a wide angle of view. When I zoom in all the way with the lens, I bring small details in the distance close up. I photograph details of old houses in the street. I can easily capture this without getting too close. I would also take this lens with me on a trip, for example when I go on safari. For a telephoto lens, it adds little weight to my luggage and I only need one lens to capture both landscapes and wildlife.
Good image stabilization The photos I take are sharp thanks to the built-in image stabilization. I don't quickly see motion blur in my photos, even when I zoom in fully with the lens. At 300mm, small movements of my hand are more visible, but I don't notice this while taking photos. I do use fast shutter speeds. If I set my shutter speed slower, for example to 1/20, I take blurry photos more quickly.
Variable aperture When I take photos outside, the photos are clear. I also test the lens indoors. I have more difficulty taking clear photos indoors. There is less daylight here and the variable aperture of f/3.5-6.7 means the lens is not very bright. I have to slow down my shutter speed or increase the ISO value a bit. I find this a disadvantage. I find the lens less suitable for dark locations because of this.
