Sigma 16-300mmF3.5-6.7 vs Tamron 18-300mmF3.5-6.3 – Specs Comparison

Earlier today Sigma has announced the Sigma 16-300mmF3.5-6.7 DC OS Contemporary. You can pre-order it here.

It’s only competitor is the Tamron 18-300mm f/3.5-6.3.

I used the BH comparison tool to compare side by side the specs of both lenses.

At a first glance, I’d say that at least for me the Sigma 16-300mm is the better pick, mainly because of the 16mm at the wide end. But it also has more aperture blades (which potentially means smoother bokeh) and a more sophisticated lens design. All of it packed in a lens about the same size of the Tamron and at the same price, too.

But feel free to take a look at the specs comparison yourself and let us know in the comments what you think is the better pick.
