Product Overview

An autofocus lens, the 105mm F2.8 DG DN MACRO | Art delivers excellent optical performance throughout the aperture ranging, making it viable for general photography, such as portrait works, besides macro photography.
When combined with TC-1411 (1.4x) or TC-2011 (2.0x) teleconverters, this lens can deliver even higher magnification while keeping the working distance.
The 105mm F2.8 is the first macro lens in SIGMA's Art line of lenses.

Reviewers from cameralabs have found the following***:
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. The lens focuses in around 0.7 sec from infinity to 1.24m (1:10 magnification), which is OK. Focus accuracy and repeatability is critical to consistently produce sharp shots.

Pros
  • Excellent image quality
  • Fully automatic autofocus
  • Compatible with Sony E-mount and Leica L-mount
Cons
  • Occasional focus breathing
  • No teleconverters

Reviewers from pcmag have found the following***:
Even on a camera with a superb autofocus system, the 105mm takes a bit of time to drive across its entire range. Close-up and distant-only settings are available, as well as a full-range option. The lens projects a life-size (1:1) image of a subject onto your camera's sensor.

Pros
  • Excellent image quality
  • Excellent autofocus
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • No manual focus
  • No optical stabilization
