Sigma 70mm F2.8 DG Macro Art

This is a full-frame prime lens for Canon EF, covering 70 mm and a maximum aperture of f/2.8. It weighs 515 g and is weather-sealed, and was released in 2018. That combination suits macro and portrait photography.

It is a high-resolution macro prime lens designed for full-frame cameras. It offers a 1:1 magnification ratio, making it ideal for capturing detailed close-up images. The lens features a coreless DC motor for smooth and accurate autofocus performance, with full-time manual focus override. Its advanced optical design includes two FLD and two SLD glass elements, as well as two aspherical lenses, to minimize aberrations and deliver sharp, high-contrast images. The robust construction with dust and splash resistance ensures durability in various shooting conditions.
