Impressive resolution and clarity for stunning and razor-sharp images.
In recent years, macro lenses in the standard range have tended to use internal focusing to maximize autofocus speed. In contrast, the new SIGMA 70mm F2.8 DG MACRO Art lens is designed to put optical performance first, meeting the demanding image quality requirements that define the Art product line.
It delivers impressive resolution and incredible clarity for the medium telephoto range, well beyond what is expected of a macro lens.
The ironless DC motor further enhances image quality, while an optimized algorithm provides exceptionally smooth autofocus performance for a heavier powerful lens. Photography enthusiasts will surely remember a legendary, absolutely sharp macro lens - the SIGMA MACRO 70mm F2.8 EX DG Macro - and be pleased to know that it is now available in a new form; updated with the outstanding quality of the Art product line.
To achieve peak performance at any shooting distance, the lens features an extending, two-group floating focus mechanism. For optimal results at all shooting distances, this configuration minimizes aberrations. To minimize longitudinal chromatic aberrations, the optical system includes two FLD glass elements, two SLD glass elements, and one element with a high rate of anomalous partial dispersion and a high refractive index. In addition, two aspherical lens elements help to increase resolution at short acquisition distances. This optical system enables a razor-sharp focus area that contrasts with a bokeh area free of color streaks.
The focus-by-wire system eliminates the direct mechanical connection between the focus ring and focus drive. A newly developed ironless DC motor, controlled by the latest algorithm, regulates the focus quietly and at optimal speed. Manual focus is also available during autofocus, allowing the photographer to manually fine-tune focus by simply rotating the focus ring. In addition, the wide angle of rotation of the focus ring helps the photographer achieve the extremely precise focusing required for macro photography.

I use the macro for *flower photography* and for digitizing slides and negatives on the macro stand

I use the Sigma 70mm f2.8 DG Macro for digitizing negatives. At f/11 it is very sharp to the edges even at 1:1, which is necessary for 35mm negatives when photographed with a full frame camera.I tried it on for insects in the garden and there even the open aperture of 2.8 is enough for excellent results. Infinity is also sharp and usable with the Sigma 70mm f2.8 DG Macro, but haven't tried it for landscapes because I have smaller, better fitting lenses for that.Sigma has long since earned a leading place in the third-party lens market, and rightfully so. Overall, Sigma's macro gets 5 stars for my use because the workmanship and performance is better than the price suggests.
Review automatically translated! Show originalIch nutze das Sigma 70mm f2,8 DG Macro zum digitalisieren von Negativen. Bei Blende 11 ist es sehr scharf bis an die Ränder auch bei 1:1, was bei Kleinbildnegativen, wenn man sie mit einer Vollformat Kamera abfotografiert, notwendig ist.
Ich habe es bei für Insekten im Garten ausprobiert und da reicht schon die Offenblende von 2.8 für ausgezeichnete Ergebnisse. Unendlich ist bei dem Sigma 70mm f2,8 DG Macro auch scharf und nutzbar, habe aber es für Landschaften nicht ausprobiert, weil ich dazu kleinere, besser passende Linsen habe.
Sigma hat sich längst einen führenden Platz im Markt der Drittanbieterobjektive erarbeitet und das mit Recht. Insgesamt bekommt Sigmas Macro für meine Anwendung 5 Sterne, weil die Verarbeitung und Leistung besser ist als der Preis vermuten lässt.
