SIGMA just announced a new lens designed for full-frame mirrorless cameras with Sony E-Mount or Leica L-Mount. The SIGMA 105mm f/2.8 DG DN MACRO is the first macro lens in the SIGMA Art mirrorless lineup and it features 1:1 magnification, weatherproof design, an assignable button, and precise AF operation. There are quite a few full-frame macro lenses on the market that feature a mid-telephoto focal length around 100mm and an aperture of f/2.8 – almost every lens manufacturer has such a lens in the portfolio. Let’s take a short look at this new offering from SIGMA and how it positions itself on the market. SIGMA 105mm f/2.8 DG DN MACRO Lens SIGMA 105mm f/2.8 DG DN MACRO lens.

With the 105mm focal length it provides 23.3° angle of view. The minimum focusing distance is 29.5cm (11.6″) and the maximum magnification ratio is 1:1. The 9-blade rounded diaphragm allows the aperture to be anywhere between f/2.8 and f/22 and should provide rounded bokeh in out-of-focus areas. It is the first macro lens for mirrorless cameras in the SIGMA Art line – therefore, as SIGMA states, the image quality should match the quality known from other SIGMA Art lenses.
