Ĭlosest focus distance is 0.30m (0.97ft.) with a magnification of 1:1 which is what you come to expect from a macro lens. The Sigma Art has fluorine-coating on the front element to repel water, dust, and dirt and make cleaning easier – which the Sony and Sigma HSM seem to miss. This is similar to the Sony (15 elements in 11 groups) and Sigma HSM (16 elements in 11 groups). Optics: The Sigma Art is a pretty complex design with 17 elements in 12 groups including one special dispersion element. There’s also lots of sample images in the Sigma 12-24mm f2.8 DG DN Art review-so-far.

Check prices on the Sigma 105mm f2.8 DG DN Macro Art at B&H, WEX, or ! Alternatively get yourself a copy of my In Camera book or treat me to a coffee! Thanks! All-in-all the 105mm f2.8 DG DN Macro Art clearly earns a Highly Recommended! Let's hope that Sigma soon is able to offer their new lens with Nikon Z-mount and Canon RF-mount too. It may be missing the optical image stabilization of Sony's FE 90mm f2.8 G OSS Macro but then for professional macro work you'd probably put it on a tripod anyway. It produces extremely sharp images devoid of color aberrations and has a very good feature set - including the option to use teleconverters. The excellent performance makes it a perfect match for high resolution full-frame mirrorless cameras with E-mount or L-mount. Summary The Sigma 105mm f2.8 DG DN Macro Art is the first macro lens for Sigma’s DN-series of lenses designed specifically for mirrorless cameras with Sony E-mount and Leica L-mount.
