Sigma 105mm F2.8 DG DN Macro | Art L-Mount

Performance that exceeds expectations

The SIGMA Art line presents a version superior to classic macro lenses

Macro telephoto lenses give photographers a boost in their creativity and a versatile working distance, making these lenses a staple of professional gear. Presented as the first macro lens for hybrid cameras in the Art range, the 105mm F2.8 DG DN MACRO | Art incorporates the highest level of performance expected from a macro telephoto lens, from superb optical performance to excellent build quality.

As well as being a full spec macro lens that excels in a wide range of settings, the SIGMA 105mm F2.8 DG DN MACRO | Art is ideal for macro photography or portraits. It can also give photographers the opportunity to rediscover a new way of looking or appreciating things such as unexpected beauty or something precious in everyday life through the unique perspective of a macro lens. It delivers performance that goes far beyond the expectations or imagination of what a "classic macro telephoto" can be.

1. Everything necessary in a macro telephoto lens has been achieved to the highest standards

The latest optical design of the 105mm F2.8 DG DN MACRO | Art delivers exceptional sharpness at all shooting distances, from extreme proximity, which is crucial in macro photography, to infinity. In addition, its aberration correction emphasizes the longitudinal chromatic aberration which cannot be dealt with by the aberration correction built into the camera. Its superior optical design produces clear images with delicate rendering and no loss of color.

Bokeh is one of the strengths of the 105mm F2.8 DG DN MACRO | Art, which is largely featured in mid-telephoto shooting. The large volume of peripheral light creates beautiful circles of bokeh, while the natural bokeh effect in the background, as well as in the foreground, gives more flexibility to the photographic expression. Additionally, when equipped with the TC-1411 (1.4x) or TC-2011 (2.0x), the latest models of SIGMA teleconverters designed exclusively for use with L-mount lenses, it allows photographers to take macro shots at even greater magnifications while maintaining the same working distance.

The 105mm F2.8 DG DN MACRO | Art has brought everything required of a macro telephoto lens to the highest levels.

2. The optical performance and AF performance of the SIGMA Art line

In their design, the lenses of the SIGMA Art range prioritize optical performance above all. This is the case of the 105 mm F2.8 DG DN MACRO | Art, which produces exceptional rendering performance from the center of the image to the edges. It perfectly copes with the aberration of coma, which often occurs at the edges. On the other hand, its ability to minimize flare and incident images have been validated by rigorous tests from the first stages of its development, thus guaranteeing its good management of backlight conditions.

In addition to optimizing the latest features, like face / eye detection AF, which hybrid systems handle very well, it incorporates a powerful Hyper-Sonic Motor (HSM) as the focus motor system to achieve quiet, high-precision AF operation.

All of these are implemented through advanced production technology at the Aizu plant, SIGMA's only production site, which gives the 105mm F2.8 DG DN MACRO | Art the highest levels of performance worthy of the SIGMA Art line.

3. A full range of features and excellent build quality

The 105mm F2.8 DG DN MACRO | Art has a focus limiter setting, which is very useful in macro photography, and an AFL * button to which the user can assign certain functions. The diaphragm ring, designed to help users work intuitively, is designed to turn the click sound on or off, which is unwanted noise for some users in macro photography. It also has a lock switch. Its enhanced features allow users to customize their shots to suit their photographic style.

The lens also has a dust and splash proof construction, this one is built to withstand all kinds of shooting conditions. The bushings and switches, on the other hand, have a superb build quality in terms of durability, as well as the function and "feel" experienced by the user.

With levels of user-friendliness, situational adaptability, and smooth operation designed for professional use, the 105mm F2.8 DG DN MACRO | Art pushes the boundaries for photographers and gives them wider creative possibilities.
