Sigma Launches Redesigned Full-Frame Mirrorless Macro

News

2020.09.30

Early this morning Sigma launched a completely redesigned macro lens for Full-Frame Mirrorless Digital Cameras to exceed the performance of their DSLR equivalent offering which is already known to be among the best performing macro lens on the market.

Sigma A 105mm F/2.8 DG DN Macro

The new Sigma A 105mm F/2.8 DG DN Macro sports an optical system which is highly optimized for macro photography. Its typical F/2.8 maximum aperture allowed Sigma to render details with extremely uniform sharpness. The grouping of optics was built to minimize chromatic aberrations to make this macro lens usable even with a 2X extender. This allows it to push it magnification from 1X to 2X while still delivering exceptional output.

This macro lens is part of the Art series which indicates emphasis on image-quality above all else. The body of the lens is constructed with a highly rigid structure and fully weatherproof. There is a dedicated aperture-ring which is both declickable and lockable. Additionally, a switch can toggle the lens focusing-range from macro, telephoto or both.

According to Sigma, there was a surge of sales for their existing macro lenses as people shelter-in-place during the COVID-19 pandemic. For this reason, they took the lead on creating an even better lens for Full-Frame Mirrorless Digital Cameras that have experienced growth lately. They expect to ship the Sigma A 105mm F/2.8 DG DN Macro on October 23 in both Sony E and Leica L mounts.

This is surely going to be a lens in high demand and so there are already ways to preorder one:

  • B&H Photo: Sony E - Leica L
  • Adorama: Sony E - Leica L
  • These reputable online stores ship to the US, Canada and many international destinations.
