More Details:

• Exceptional Optical Performance: As part of Sigma's Art line, this lens guarantees superior sharpness, clarity, and color fidelity, effectively minimizing chromatic and spherical aberrations.

• True 1:1 Macro Magnification: Master the art of close-up photography with life-size detail, perfect for capturing the intricate beauty of insects, flowers, and tiny subjects.

• Fast f/2.8 Aperture: Enjoy outstanding performance in low-light conditions and achieve beautiful bokeh, ideal for subject isolation and creating smooth, appealing backgrounds.

• Durable Build Quality: Equipped with weather-sealed construction, this lens is resilient against dust, moisture, and splashes, enhancing its suitability for outdoor photography.

• Versatile Usage: Beyond macro, this lens excels in various photography genres, including portraiture, product photography, and landscapes, making it a versatile addition to your camera bag.

• Designed to minimize flare and ghosting - 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.
• Fast AF with full-time manual focus - Full-time manual focus function allows the lens to be switched to manual focus simply by rotating the focus ring.
• Exclusive low-dispersion glass - Most chromatic aberration can be removed by combining a high-refractivity convex lens element with a low-refractivity concave element. Yet residual chromatic aberration known as “secondary spectrum” may still remain. To minimize this secondary spectrum, which can be a serious issue with conventional lenses, SIGMA lenses feature up to three types of exclusive low-dispersion glass offering superior performance: ELD (Extraordinary Low Dispersion), SLD (Special Low Dispersion) and FLD (“F” Low Dispersion). In particular, FLD glass offers ultra-low dispersion in combination with high transmittance and the anomalous dispersion characteristics of fluorite.
• Rounded diaphragm - The 9-blade rounded diaphragm creates an attractive blur in the out-of-focus areas of the image.
• High-precision, rugged brass bayonet mount - The brass mount combines high precision with rugged construction. Its treated surfaces and enhanced strength contribute to the exceptional durability of the lens.
