All-in-one zoom for Nikon DX bodies
The Sigma 18-300mm F3.5-6.3 DC Macro OS HSM covers wide-angle to super-telephoto in a single lens designed for APS-C Nikon cameras. Its 18-300mm range handles landscapes, travel scenes and distant subjects without swapping glass, while the Macro designation allows close-up work at 39cm minimum focus distance.
Steady handheld shooting at long reach
Optical Stabilization counters camera shake across the full zoom range, making slower shutter speeds practical when extended toward 300mm. The Hyper Sonic Motor drives autofocus quietly and quickly, and Super Multi-Layer Coating reduces flare and ghosting in backlit conditions. One SLD and four FLD elements help control chromatic aberration throughout the variable f/3.5-6.3 aperture range.
Check mount and crop factor before ordering
This lens uses a Nikon F mount and projects an image circle for DX sensors; on full-frame bodies it will vignette heavily or require crop mode. The variable maximum aperture drops to f/6.3 at the long end, so low-light action at 300mm demands higher ISO or a tripod. Minimum focus of 39cm suits close-ups but is not a 1:1 macro reproduction ratio.

Questions about this item
How much power does the 18-300mm F3.5-6.3 lens draw when the Optical Stabilization and Hyper Sonic Motor run continuously?
The lens draws power from the Nikon camera body through the mount; the Optical Stabilization and Hyper Sonic Motor operate on that supply without a separate power rating.
Which Nikon bodies can drive the Hyper Sonic Motor autofocus on this 18-300mm F3.5-6.3 lens?
Any Nikon DSLR with a built-in focus motor or screw-drive coupling will operate the Hyper Sonic Motor; entry-level bodies without a motor will not autofocus.
Will the 18-300mm F3.5-6.3 lens cover the full frame of my older Nikon FX camera?
The DC designation means the image circle is designed for APS-C sensors; on an FX body the camera will automatically switch to DX crop mode.
