Explore the world of photography with the SIGMA 70mm F 2.8 DG Macro Art Lens, a high-quality, professional-grade lens designed for Leica L cameras. This innovative lens is the first macro lens in the Art line, prioritizing optical performance to deliver stunning resolution and incredible clarity, exceeding expectations for a macro lens in the standard to mid-telephoto range. The SIGMA 70mm F 2.8 DG Macro Art Lens is built with a coreless DC motor, enhancing image quality while offering smooth autofocus performance. This lens is a modern version of the legendary SIGMA MACRO 70mm F 2.8 EX DG, now updated with outstanding Art line quality.
The lens features an extending, floating, two-group focus mechanism, designed to minimize aberration and produce optimal results at any focus distance. 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. Additionally, two aspherical lens elements help increase resolution at close shooting distances, delivering a razor-sharp in-focus area contrasted with a bokeh area free of color streaking. The 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. This lens is compatible with full-frame Sony E-mount cameras, performing the same functions as the converter, including in-camera image stabilization and in-camera lens aberration correction. It is also compatible with Sony's Continuous AF. The SIGMA 70mm F 2.8 DG Macro Art Lens comes bundled with a ProOptic 49mm filter kit, SpyderLensCal calibration aid, software kit, flex lens shade, lens cap tether, and cleaning kit.
These accessories add value to the product, making it a versatile and durable option for both professional photographers and photography enthusiasts.
