Behind the scenes on a studio shoot"Using the SIGMA 70mm Macro | Art lens for this type of shot was a joy, the focus ring rotates smoothly and allows for very fine adjustments when using the live view with focus peaking . It clearly showed what was in focus. To illuminate this shot I used four LED lights from the Spekular core kit and some Rosco gels. I wanted to complement the orange logo on the product and the little black aquarium stones help give the product a rugged feel." - Paul Monaghan professional photographer. Here’s a little behind the scene image to see how it was made. |
Compatible with full-frame Sony E-mount camerasThe version of this lens compatible with Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras contains the same optical system as for SLRs. SIGMA MOUNT CONVERTER MC-11 is not required, as the lens performs the same functions as the converter, including in-camera image stabilization and in-camera lens aberration correction. In addition, the lens is compatible with Sony’s Continuous AF, which is not addressed by MOUNT CONVERTER MC-11. SIGMA plans to offer over time Sony E-mount versions of every full-frame prime lens currently available in the Art line, from 14mm to 135mm. Note: This product is developed, manufactured and sold based on the specifications of E-mount which was disclosed by Sony Corporation under the license agreement with Sony |

Macro shotThe 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. In addition, the focus ring’s large angle of rotation helps the photographer achieve the extremely precise focusing required for effective macro photography. |
Crop on image to the left"This cropped image is straight from the camera and shows the dust inside the glass of the watch intact. The amount of detail that this lens can reproduce is tremendous!" - Paul Monaghan professional photographer. |
VersatileAs well as being a remarkable macro lens the 70mm F2.8 DG HSM | A is also highly versatile with a wide range of subjects and shooting conditions |
Made in JapanAll Sigma products, lenses, cameras and flash units are manufactured exclusively by Sigma in Sigma’s own factory in Aizu, Japan. No Sigma Corporation product – lens, camera or flash – is manufactured outside of Japan. This is very unusual these days, as most companies have at least some of their products produced outside of Japan because of cost considerations. There's a reason why SIGMA continues to insist on the very highest quality in its product manufacturing: our love of photography is second to none. We deeply appreciate the photographer's desire to record and express—the passion of the photographer. We understand the need to capture the moment that gives rise to a unique work |

Top-level performance at every shooting distanceIn order to realize top-level performance at every shooting distance, the lens features an extending, floating, two-group focus mechanism. This configuration minimizes aberration to produce optimal results at any focus distance. To minimize axial chromatic aberration, 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. In addition, two aspherical lens elements help increase resolution at close shooting distances. This optical system makes possible a razor-sharp in-focus area contrasted with a bokeh area free of color streaking. The mount features a special sealing to make the lens an excellent choice in a wide variety of conditions. |
Smooth bokeh and minimised flare.The 9-blade rounded diaphragm creates an attractive blur in the out-of-focus areas of the image. From an early stage in the lens design process, flare and ghosting have been measured to establish an optical design resistant to strong incident light sources such as backlighting. SIGMA’s Super Multi-Layer Coating reduces flare and ghosting to help photographers produce sharp and high contrast images even in backlit conditions. The included lens hood can be attached to block out extraneous light, which can have a negative effect on rendering performance. |
High-precision, rugged brass bayonet mountThe brass mount combines high precision with rugged construction. Its treated surfaces and enhanced strength contribute to the exceptional durability of the lens. |
SIGMA USB DOCK (Optional)By connecting a SIGMA 70mm F2.8 DG MACRO | Art lens to a computer with the OPTIONAL SIGMA USB DOCK, photographers can update the lens firmware and adjust focus position and other parameters. Exclusive SIGMA Optimization Pro software makes customization easy. It is possible to select the autofocus speed and adjust the focus limiter. |

Great Macro lens for the price
Sigma ART series lenses never fail to impress me. Tack sharp focus and overall, rugged, well-engineered lens. This lens is well-reviewed online, so I'll focus on why you shouldn't get this lens.If you're an auto-focus fanatic, this isn't the lens for you. You can delimit focus to 0.258-0.5m or 0.5m to infinite, and this does improve the responsiveness of this lens to auto-fucus, but otherwise, it's not a fast auto-focus Macro. I knew this when I made the purchase. To achieve that gain you'll have to spend an extra $400-500 on a Sony or other lens.The focus-by-wire gets a lot of bad press. I have no complaints about it. This lens does require quite a few rotations of the focus ring to move from infiinite to 1:1, but typically when I'm out in the meadows shooting flowers/bugs and what not, I've already got the lens extended. The focus-by-wire is definitely advantageous for micro-adjustment focus. Definitely well-suited for tripod photography.I'm only discounting a star based upon the lack of internal image stabilization. However, I've been shooting with hit handheld using a Sony A6400 without issue. If you'll be using this lens with a tripod, it's just as good as any other Macro with internal stabilization. Again, $400-500 discount for missing this feature.I highly recommend this lens, discounting the above. For the price, it's unbeatable.

Vorab mein Fazit: Auf den angehängten Fotos erkennt man Heizdrähte, die eine Geamtbreite von 8 mm haben. Bin mit den Ergebnissen sehr zufrieden, auch nach der maximal möglichen Vergrößerung beim Edit. Geknippst mit 1/80 - f9 - iso500 - 2 Lampen Kaltweiß von rechts und links vorne + warmweiße Tischleuchte von IKEA - Steady Shot aus - Auf Stativ - so nah ran wie es ging (25 cm bis Sensor).
Zur Verarbeitung:
Auto/manuell mit Limiter, den man auch unbedingt einsetzen sollte, damit das Objektiv nicht zu sehr pumpt. Gummilippe am Bajonett = Staub- und Spritzwassergeschützt. Sitzt dadurch auch schön am E-Mount an. Manueller Fokus ist elektrisch übersetzt. Deshalb muss auch die Kamera eingeschaltet sein, damit man den MF verwenden kann. Die Fokusskala/Abbildungsmaßstab bräuchte ich jetzt nicht, aber es ist ein schönes "nice to have". Materialmix aus Kunststof und Metallelementen. Ja es ist nicht gerade das leichteste Objektiv. Knapp 500 gr, aber auch das Gewicht stört mich nicht im geringsten. Hab gerne was solides in den Händen. Zudem habe ich meistens einen zusätzlichen Handgriff adaptiert, der das Eigengewicht des Objektivs etwas Kontert. So liegt das gesamte System noch balancierter in der Hand. Kein Bildstabi, dafür nutze ich im Feld Steady Shot der Kamera. Sehr gut verarbeitet. Alles sehr wertig. Eine Streulichtblende und einen Köcher gibt es auch dazu.
Aktuell für das Objektiv dazu bestellt ein 49 mm UV Filter und spiele mit dem Gedanken mir noch bald ein Ringlicht mit 72 mm zu besorgen.
Bildquali:
13 Linsen / 10 Gruppen. bei f2.8 schon knackescharf. Ich benötige aber für meine Makrofotografie eine Blende zwischen 8-11, um noch mehr Tiefenschärfe zu erreichen. Dann muss allerdings auch die Beleuchtung stimmig sein. Portraits sind ebenfalls traumhaft weil wir es ja hier mit einem mittleren Teleobjektiv zu tun haben. Das Bokeh ist butterweich, weil die 9 Blendenlamellen abgerundet sind. Gibt nix zu meckern.
Sehr tolle Bildschärfe auf TOPNIVEAU.
