Sigma 105mm f/2.8 DG DN Macro Art Overview

By B&H Photo's

Optical excellence with close-focusing capabilities, the Sony E-mount 105mm f/2.8 DG DN Macro Art Lens, from Sigma, is a short-telephoto prime optimized for macro use. With a minimum focusing distance of 11.6", and a 5.5" working distance, this lens offers a life-size, 1:1 reproduction ratio for accurate rendering of close-up subjects. Its optical design incorporates one SLD element, which also helps to realize high clarity and color accuracy by suppressing various aberrations and color fringing. A Super Multi-Layer Coating has also been applied, which controls flare and ghosting for greater contrast.

Benefitting handling, this lens sports a Hyper-Sonic Motor for quick and quiet AF performance and intuitive full-time manual focus control. A focus limiter switch also helps to boost focusing speed and precision, and there is also a customizable AFL button and dedicated focus mode switch. Additionally, the lens features a nine-blade rounded diaphragm for smooth bokeh quality and the lens housing is also weather-sealed to suit working in inclement conditions.

As part of the Art line within Sigma's Global Vision series, this lens is designed to achieve truly notable optical performance and is ideally suited for creative and artistic applications.
Short-telephoto prime is designed for full-frame Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras but can also be used with APS-C models where it provides a 157.5mm equivalent focal length.
One Special Low Dispersion (SLD) element markedly reduces chromatic aberrations and color fringing for improved clarity and color accuracy.
A Super Multi-Layer Coating has been applied to lens elements in order to minimize lens flare and ghosting and contribute to producing contrast-rich and color-neutral imagery, even in backlit conditions.
True macro design affords a life-size 1:1 maximum magnification along with an 11.6" minimum focusing distance, and a 5.5" minimum working distance, to suit working with close-up subjects.
The integrated HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor) realizes quick and quiet autofocus performance, which is further complemented by an optimized AF algorithm to produce smoother focusing performance. The HSM also permits full-time manual focus control simply by rotating the focus ring at any time.
Focus limiter switch can be used to constrain the focusing range within three zones for faster, more responsive performance: 11.6" to 1.6', 1.6' to infinity, and 11.6" to infinity.
Manual aperture ring can be de-clicked for smooth, silent aperture switching to benefit video applications. Additionally, a dedicated aperture ring lock switch can also be employed to prevent accidental shifting of the aperture setting.
Built-in Autofocus-Lock (AFL) button which can be assigned additional functions widens the range of operations available on the lens.
Rounded nine-blade diaphragm contributes to a smooth and pleasing bokeh quality.
Weather-resistant construction with a brass bayonet that affords improved mounting accuracy and rigidity.

Sigma 105mm f/2.8 DG DN Macro Art Reviews

Decent Lens

By Bryan
Rated 4 out of 5

Sharp? Sure, in the absolute dead center, edge to edge, not so much. Overal good lens though and fast to focus. If you're a pixel peeper and want/need edge to edge sharpness, look elsewhere.

This lens excels for several reasons. 1. It's 1:1 Macro reproduction is outstanding. But using this on a 61MP A7Riv lets you cheat the 1:1 and get away with even bigger reproduction. 2. It's sharp. Dang sharp. 3. The bokeh is buttery smooth.

Super cool lens, wish focus was faster

This lens is sharp!! Super crisp. I just wish that the focus was smoother. Since the plane of focus can be super narrow sometimes, focusing on small subjects can be hard.

A must for your camera bag

Using this lens for macro and portraits on a Sony A1. Just wow! This is the sharpest lens you can buy at any price point for the Sony E-mount system. Worth every penny.

So far, I'm impressed

While I've only had the lens for a bit more than a week, I am pleasantly surprised with its performance, so far. Like my other Sigma lens, the image is sharp and the and the color rendition is good. So far, I've experimented with the lens for table-top photography and the results are quite good. The lens plays very well with My SL2, which I typically use in manual mode. One difference I've noted thus far is that the lens cannot be automatically focused using the joy stick when in manual mode, but it plays well with the auto enlarge feature of the SL2 to allow for precise focusing. The lens is also recognized in Capture One, making tethered shooting a breeze, including focus stacking. All-in-all, it's a great companion to my Leica lenses and provides a nice low-cost prime lens to carry in the field. I'm looking forward to using the lens more, both in the studio and in the field, when spring returns.

One of the best in Sony E Mount System

Smooth bokeh, sharp, lightweight, and incredible Macro capabilities. The MFD is better than what Sigma states (shooting on A1 body). The lens is lightweight, extremely well built, and a joy to use. It reminds me a lot of the Batis 135...at just over 1/3 the cost and with better Macro.

Great

El lente es perfecto, el servicio de DHL si deja mucho que desear pues dejaron el paquete en otro edificio vecino y llego a mis manos por pura suerte pues ahi viva una amiga y se percato que preguntaban por mi persona en su edificio.

Great Lens for the price point!

Will the 105mm macro work with my 5 axis stabilization of my sony a6600?
Asked by: Robert
Yes, in camera stabilization still works, you just don't have stabilization with the lens itself like the 90mm macro from sony. Personally, I haven't noticed much difference between the two in normal use as far as stabilization goes but I tend to use brighter light and higher shutter speeds.

This lens is rather long. Will it come with a tripod collar?
Asked by: randall
FWIW, I often use the Sigma 100-400mm F5-6.3 DG DN on a tripod without a collar. It's roughly 400g heavier and 70mm longer than this lens. My Acratech Ultimate easily handles the torque.
