Sigma 105mm f2.8 DG DN Macro for Sony-E single lens

The SIGMA 105mm F2.8 DG DN MACRO Art is the first macro lens specifically 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 macro to infinity. It also achieves clear images without color fringing. This is achieved, among other things, by paying special attention to the correction of longitudinal chromatic aberration. Longitudinal chromatic aberration cannot be corrected by the camera's own aberration correction.

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

Highest optical and AF performance

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

Through consistent development work, Sigma has managed to excellently handle coma, for example, an aberration that often occurs at the edges of the image. In addition, ghosting and reflections are highly minimized. This was achieved through rigorous testing at early stages of development and ensures that optical performance is excellent even when backlit.

In addition to being optimized for the latest features, such as face/eye detection AF, which mirrorless camera systems are very good at, the lens is equipped with a powerful Hyper-Sonic Motor (HSM) that ensures highly accurate and quiet AF operation.

Ghosting and reflection minimizing design

An ideal lens directs incident light through all the lenses and onto the sensor. If, on the other hand, some of the light is reflected by individual lenses, not only does the light yield decrease; the reflections within the lens create ghost images and aperture spots, or they reduce contrast. Such effects would be particularly noticeable in backlit shots.

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

Compatible with the latest full-frame mirrorless 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. Auto focus with automatic eye detection used in newer mirrorless cameras is also supported; making precise focusing of portraits, for example, a breeze.

Effortless operation for maximum creativity

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

The lens has a focus range limiter, which is extremely handy for macro shooting as you can preselect or narrow down the AF working range. In addition, the lens has an AFL button that the photographer can assign specific functions to.

The manual aperture ring on the lens can be used optionally, is intuitive to use and also very functional. For example, the aperture ring click switch can be used to make the aperture ring click at each aperture stop or not, if it's not desired for background noise in macro shots of insects, for example. There is also an aperture ring lock switch. Thanks to all these advanced features, photographers can optimally adapt their working style to their shooting style.

The 105mm F2.8 DG DN MACRO Art is also dustproof and splashproof, so it can easily be used in harsher shooting conditions. All rings and switches, in turn, feature particularly durable construction, excellent operability and a comfortable grip.
