Overview

WATCH THE VIDEOS

The Sigma 70mm F2.8 DG Macro is the first prime macro lens to be adorned with the Art badge. Fully redesigned to deliver exceptional 1:1 (life-sized) magnification, the 70mm F2.8 DG Macro lens features a new coreless DC motor for extremely smooth autofocus performance. Prioritizing optical performance, the lens features an extending, floating, two-group focus mechanism. This configuration minimizes aberration to produce optimal results at any focus distance.

The Canon EF mount version of the lens is compatible with Canon's Lens Aberration Correction which performs in-camera corrections of peripheral illumination, chromatic aberrations, distortion, and more, to further enhance image quality.

Patrick's Right Eye

Sony E-mount 70mm F2.8 DG MACRO | A 1/13th of a sec. f8 1600

I wanted to see what my true eye color was. I also wanted to use the SHARPEST MACRO lens there is. That being the SIGMA 70mm MACRO DG 2.8 ART. I set up the camera and lens on a GITZO 500 tripod, set camera for 10 sec. timer. Pressing the shutter half way down to focus. I could see reflection of my eye in the lens. With my lrft hand I pressed the shutter all the way down. Ten seconds later, I got a great photo!

The images are stunning. It is all I could have hoped for at an incredible price. True ART lens IQ.

Amazing, stunning image quality
By gerald w.
I am a pro of over 40 years in the business. I have used excellent macro lenses from Nikon, Canon and Sony. I got this lens just a few days ago and have been test shooting it with both my Sony A7RIII and A7III and am blown away by its sharpness and overall image quality. It is solidly built, yet lightweight. Easy to focus in autofocus or manual focus. Focus limiting settings on this lens make quick work of rapid micro autofocusing of moving small subjects . Just a complete pleasure to use. The images are stunning. It is all I could have hoped for at an incredible price. True ART lens IQ. Highly recommend this in whatever your camera mount is. Cheers
