Sigma 20-200mm f/3.5-6.3 DG Contemporary Lens for Sony E In more detail

The Sigma 20-200 mm is from the Contemporary line and is a versatile, everyday zoom for Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras. Its broad zoom range replaces multiple lenses in many situations, making it especially useful for travel, family, street photography and casual hybrid video shooting.

The optical construction includes multiple aspherical and special glass elements that correct aberrations and maintain resolution across the frame. Super Multi-Layer Coating helps control flare and ghosting in backlit conditions, giving cleaner contrast and more faithful colours.

Image Stabilisation assists at longer focal lengths and in lower light, reducing the chance of blurred shots or shaky handheld footage. The autofocus system is tuned to be smooth and quiet, which supports both stills and video without obvious focus noise.

Despite its wide zoom range, the lens remains relatively light and compact for its class. The build quality meets the demands of everyday shooting, and the overall handling feels balanced on many Sony mirrorless bodies.

Frequently asked questions

What cameras is this lens compatible with?

This lens is designed for Sony E-mount full-frame and APS-C mirrorless cameras. On APS-C formats it provides an equivalent field of view of approximately 30–300 mm.

Does this lens have optical stabilisation?

Yes. Built-in stabilisation helps reduce blur from camera shake in handheld shooting and supports smoother video capture.

Is it good for video as well as stills?

Yes. Quiet autofocus and stabilisation assist hybrid shooters capturing both stills and video without needing frequent lens changes.

How close can it focus?

It offers a useful close-focus distance for everyday scenes and casual subject detail, though it is not a dedicated macro optic.

Is the lens suitable for low light?

The variable aperture (f/3.5–6.3) is not designed for extreme low-light situations, but with stabilisation and modern Sony sensor performance, it handles typical lighting well. For very low light work, a faster prime or constant-aperture zoom may be preferable.
