Sigma 105mm f2.8 DG DN Macro (A) for Sony-E

The SIGMA 105mm F2.8 DG DN MACRO Art is the first macro lens especially for mirrorless cameras in our Art product line.
This medium telephoto macro lens offers excellent resolving power with wonderfully soft bokeh.

Impressive image results thanks to sophisticated optical corrections

The innovative optical design of the 105mm F2.8 DG DN MACRO Art ensures excellent sharpness and fine reproduction at all shooting distances, from the macro range to the infinity setting. Clear images without color fringing are also achieved. This is achieved, among other things, by paying particular attention to the correction of longitudinal color aberrations.

Another focus in the development of the 105mm F2.8 DG DN MACRO Art was on the bokeh, which plays a particularly important role when shooting in the medium telephoto range. The high yield of ambient light creates beautiful blur circles, while the natural bokeh in the foreground and background gives photographic expressions incredible flexibility.

Highest optical and AF performance

Optical performance is a top priority in the design of the lenses in the SIGMA Art product line, and

through consistent development work Sigma has managed to overcome, for example, coma, a common aberration at the edges of the image. In addition, ghost images and reflections are minimized to a high degree. This was achieved through rigorous testing in the early stages of development and ensures that the optical performance is excellent even in backlit conditions.

In addition to optimization for the latest functions, such as face and

eye detection AF

, the

eye detection AF, which mirrorless camera systems are very good at, the lens is equipped with a powerful Hyper Sonic Motor (HSM), which ensures highly precise and quiet AF operation.

Ghosting and reflection minimizing design

An ideal lens directs the incident light through all the lenses to the sensor. If, on the other hand, some of the light is reflected by individual lenses, not only is the light yield reduced; the reflections within the lens create ghost images and flare spots or reduce the contrast.

To prevent this, the Sigma 105mm F2.8 DG DN MACRO Art uses a Super Multi-Layer Coating (SML), which reduces stray light and ghost images. The result is clear, sharp and high-contrast images without annoying lens flares.

Compatible with the latest mirrorless full-frame cameras

The SIGMA 105mm F2.8 DG DN MACRO Art is compatible with full-frame mirrorless cameras with Sony

E-mount

.

An HSM motor is used for fast focusing. The autofocus with automatic eye detection used in newer mirrorless cameras is also supported, making the precise focusing of portraits, for example, child's play.

Effortless working for maximum creativity

A wide range of functions and excellent build quality make working with the 105mm F2.8 DG DN MACRO Art a pleasure.

The lens has a focusing range limiter, which is extremely practical for macro shots, as you can preselect or limit the working range of the AF. The lens also has an AFL button to which the photographer can assign certain functions.

The manual aperture ring on the lens can be used optionally, is intuitive to operate and also very functional. Using the aperture ring click switch, the aperture ring can be clicked at each aperture stop or not, for example if this is not desired for the background noise when taking macro shots of insects. There is also an aperture ring lock switch. Thanks to all these advanced functions, photographers can optimally adapt their working method to their shooting style.

The 105mm F2.8 DG DN MACRO Art is also dust and splash-proof, so that it can be used in harsh shooting conditions without any problems. All rings and switches are characterized by a particularly durable design, excellent operability and a comfortable grip.
