Looking to a review by Cristopher Frost - this extreme focal length is not my choice. (But that mediocre quality is to be expected). 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rented this lens for trip to Svalbard for the SL3 despite the crop factor down to approximately 26mp. The light weight and bulk reduction was terrific. Got good 450mm equivalent snaps of walruses and polar bears from the ship. It would have to be a behemoth if L Mount native was used. Not the best but acceptable sharpness to the corners but with post sharpening, it’s a great solution for those who don’t shoot super tele all the time. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctle Posted September 14 Author Share #4 Posted September 14 The Sigma 16-300mm is a decent and versatile zoom lens for Leica CL camera. Unfortunately, it has the same battery drain issue as mentioned in this post: https://www.l-camera-forum.com/topic/419265-sigma-lenses-battery-drain-conundrum/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The battery indicator (from 3 bars) drops to 2 bars very quickly if using zoom (OIS is off) then drops to 1 bar after having around 200 shots taken . The battery drain issue with this lens is similar to the Sigma 10-18 described in this post Yes the CL recognizes the lens in lens profile Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
