Everything Required In A Mid-Telephoto Macro Lens
The latest optical design of the SIGMA 105mm F2.8 DG DN MACRO | Art for Sony E ensures exceptional sharpness at all shooting distances from extreme close-up, which is crucial in macro shooting, all the way up to infinity. In addition, its aberration correction places a particular focus on longitudinal chromatic aberration which cannot be handled by the in-camera aberration correction. The superior optical design produces clear images with both delicate rendering and free of color bleeding. Bokeh was one of the focuses in the 105mm F2.8 DG DN MACRO | Art design, which figures largely in mid-telephoto shooting. The ample volume of peripheral light helps create beautiful bokeh circles, while natural bokeh effect in the background, as well as foreground, gives more flexibility to photographic expressions.
SIGMA Art Line Class Optical And AF Performance
The SIGMA Art line lenses prioritize optical performance such as face/eye detection AF in most Sony Mirrorless camera above all else in their design. This applies to the SIGMA 105mm F2.8 DG DN MACRO | Art for Sony E, which produces outstanding rendering performance from the center of the frame all the way up to the edges. It excellently handles comatic aberration, which often happens at the edges. On the other hand, its abilities to minimize ghosting and flare, which have been validated through rigorous testing from the early stages of its development, ensures that it performs well in backlit conditions.
