SIGMA 70mm F2.8 DG MACRO | Art brings stunning macro clarity to the Art series
Pricing and availability for the Sigma 70mm F2.8 DG MACRO | Art have not yet been announced.
Design prioritizing optical performance
In order to realize top-level performance at every shooting distance, the lens features an extending, floating, two-group focus mechanism. is configuration minimizes aberration to produce optimal results at any focus distance. To minimize axial chromatic aberration, the optical system incorporates two FLD glass elements, two SLD glass elements, and one element with a high rate of anomalous partial dispersion and a high index of refraction. In addition, two aspherical lens elements help increase resolution at close shooting distances. is optical system makes possible a razor-sharp in-focus area contrasted with a bokeh area free of color streaking.
Focus-by-wire system for comfortable and precise focusing
e focus-by-wire system eliminates the direct mechanical connection between the focus ring and the focus drive system. Controlled by SIGMA’s latest algorithm, a newly developed coreless DC motor adjusts focus with optimal speed and low noise. Full-time manual focus is available even during autofocus, allowing the photographer to make minute focus adjustments simply by turning the focus ring. In addition, the focus ring’s large angle of rotation helps the photographer achieve the extremely precise focusing required for effective macro photography.
Compatible with full-frame Sony E-mount cameras
e version of this lens compatible with Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras contains the same optical system as for SLRs. SIGMA MOUNT CONVERTER MC-11 is not required, as the lens performs the same functions as the converter, including in-camera image stabilization and in-camera lens aberration correction. In addition, the lens is compatible with Sony’s Continuous AF, which
