Last Week, Sigma rolled out its new lens for full-frame mirrorless cameras in form of the all-new 105mm f/2.8 DG DN macro lens. It’s Sigma first Art Macro lens for mirrorless cameras and according to reviews, it’s exceptional and delivers end to end sharpness even wide open.

The Lens is dust and splash-proof and is made up of 17 elements in 12 groups, including one Special Low Dispersion (SLD) element to minimize the aberration. It has a focus limiter switch that lets the photographer switch between three different settings (Macro, Portrait, or Full-Range), and a 9 blade aperture ring with a switch that lets you toggle between a “clicked” or “de-clicked” aperture action.
