Sigma 105mm f/2.8 DG DN Art Macro – Sony E

This versatile macro lens for mirrorless cameras offers the perfect blend of optical quality, features, style and portability

The SIGMA 105mm F2.8 DG DN MACRO | Art is a high-performance, mid-telephoto macro lens designed from the ground-up for mirrorless cameras. Available in E-mount and L-Mount, this impressive optic offers superb image quality, fast AF and an impressive feature-set. It is equally well-suited to close-up macro work and a range of other photo and video applications including portraiture and weddings. The quality, functionality and versatility of this lens make it a must-own option for mirrorless photographers.

This all-new 105mm lens is first Art line macro lens designed specifically for mirrorless cameras, and brings to the table a range of advanced functionality including an aperture ring with de-click and lock functions, a customisable AFL button, dust- and splash-proof construction and a focus limiter switch. Its optical performance goes far beyond what one might expect of a mid-telephoto macro lens.

The lens 1:1 magnification ratio allows very close focusing so that the impression of the subject appears as life-size on the cameras sensor. The minimum focusing distance is 29.5cm, giving a working distance of 14.1cm. On the L-Mount version of the lens, Sigmas two new teleconverters can be used (TC-1411 1.4x and TC-2011 2x) to give an even larger magnification ratio. The TC-1411 gives a 1.4:1 ratio and the TC-2011 gives a 2:1 ratio, and working distance remains at 14.1cm when using both. Maximum F numbers become F4 and F5.6 respectively.

As well as being a true macro lens with a 1:1 magnification ratio, the 105mm DG DN MACRO | Art can be used in a wide range of other shooting situations, for both photo and video. Its 105mm focal length is ideal for portraits, and its a perfect high-performing utility lens for weddings and events where the approach can be very varied. Optical performance is exceptional for both extreme close-ups to far-away objects, and AF is fast owing to the lens HSM focusing motor. The lens is optimised for modern mirrorless autofocus systems including auto-eye AF.
