Equivalent focal length on different cameras#
Field of view and depth-of-field equivalence when this lens is used on bodies with different sensor sizes (natively or via an adapter).
| Camera format | At 16 mm | At 69 mm | At 300 mm | Equiv. aperture (DoF) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| APS-C | 24 mm · 83° | 104 mm · 23° | 450 mm · 5° | f/5.2 |
| APS-C (Canon) | 26 mm · 80° | 110 mm · 22° | 480 mm · 5° | f/5.6 |
| Micro Four Thirds | 32 mm · 68° | 138 mm · 18° | 600 mm · 4° | f/7.0 |
Depth of field & background blur#
Computed on its native APS-C format (CoC 20 µm). “Blur @2 m” is the size of an out-of-focus point at infinity, as a percentage of frame width, with the subject at 2 m — a simple bokeh index. Full table: 16 mm f/4 on aps-c.
| Focal | Aperture | at 1 m | at 2 m | at 5 m | at 10 m | Hyperfocal | Blur @2 m |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 16 mm | f/3.5 | 56.5 cm | 2.95 m | ∞ | ∞ | 3.76 m | 0.2% |
| 16 mm | f/4 | 66.1 cm | 3.83 m | ∞ | ∞ | 3.29 m | 0.1% |
| 16 mm | f/8 | 1.88 m | ∞ | ∞ | ∞ | 1.65 m | 0.1% |
| 69 mm | f/3.5 | 2.7 cm | 11.1 cm | 71.3 cm | 2.92 m | 69.6 m | 3.0% |
| 69 mm | f/4 | 3.1 cm | 12.7 cm | 81.6 cm | 3.35 m | 60.9 m | 2.6% |
| 69 mm | f/8 | 6.1 cm | 25.5 cm | 1.66 m | 7.31 m | 30.5 m | 1.3% |
| 300 mm | f/3.5 | 0.1 cm | 0.5 cm | 3.6 cm | 14.8 cm | 1.3 km | 64.4% |
| 300 mm | f/4 | 0.1 cm | 0.6 cm | 4.1 cm | 16.9 cm | 1.2 km | 56.3% |
| 300 mm | f/8 | 0.2 cm | 1.2 cm | 8.2 cm | 33.7 cm | 576 m | 28.2% |
Handheld & night-sky limits#
NPF assumes typical 20–24 MP sensors (≈6 µm pixels on full frame, ≈3.9 µm on APS-C, ≈3.3 µm on Micro Four Thirds).
| Body | Min. handheld shutter (longest focal) | 500 rule at 16 mm | NPF at 16 mm, f/3.5 |
|---|---|---|---|
| APS-C | 1/500 s | 21 s | 15 s |
| APS-C (Canon) | 1/500 s | 20 s | 15 s |
| Micro Four Thirds | 1/640 s | 16 s | 14 s |

Frequently asked questions#
Is the Sigma 16-300mm F3.5-6.7 DC OS | C full frame?
No — it is designed for APS-C sensors. On a full-frame body it vignettes or triggers crop mode.
What is the Sigma 16-300mm F3.5-6.7 DC OS | C equivalent to on APS-C?
Its focal length is already the real value for APS-C: 16–300 mm frames like 25–460 mm on full frame.
What is the Sigma 16-300mm F3.5-6.7 DC OS | C good for?
As a superzoom it suits travel photography with one lens from wide to telephoto.
