Sigma 70mm f/2.8 DG Macro Art Lens for Leica L-mount

Perfectly tuned for stunning image clarity up close, the Sigma 70mm f/2.8 DG Macro Art Lens in Leica L-mount is the real deal when it comes to macro photography. Offering true 1:1, life-size magnification, this lens is tailor-made for capturing those intricate close-up shots. As part of Sigma's prestigious Art series, this short-telephoto prime stands out with its advanced optical design, featuring two FLD elements, two SLD elements, one anomalous partial dispersion/high refractive index element, and two aspherical elements. Together, they tackle both chromatic and spherical aberrations, delivering images with exceptional clarity, sharpness, and colour accuracy. Plus, the Super Multi-Layer Coating kicks in to keep pesky lens flare and ghosting at bay, ensuring outstanding contrast and colour fidelity even in harsh lighting conditions. And with a rounded nine-blade diaphragm, you're treated to a dreamy bokeh quality that's sure to impress. It's the ultimate tool for macro enthusiasts.

Benefitting the imaging assets is a coreless DC motor that offers quick and accurate autofocus performance along with full-time manual focus override. The physical design utilizes Thermally Stable Composite material for durability in a wide range of environments, and a brass bayonet mount also offers rigidity and mounting precision.

• As part of the Art line within Sigma's Global Vision series, this lens is designed to achieve truly notable optical performance and is ideally suited for creative and artistic applications.
• Short-telephoto prime, this lens is designed for full-frame Leica L-mount mirrorless cameras, however can also be used with APS-C models where it provides a 105mm equivalent focal length.
• Two F Low Dispersion (FLD) elements, two Special Low Dispersion (SLD) elements, and one anomalous partial dispersion/high refractive index element are featured in the optical design, and help to reduce colour fringing and chromatic aberrations for improved clarity and colour accuracy.
• Two aspherical elements are used to help limit distortion and spherical aberrations and also contribute to greater overall sharpness and accurate rendering.
• True macro design affords a life-size 1:1 maximum magnification along with a 10.2" minimum focusing distance to suit working with close-up subjects.
• A Super Multi-Layer Coating has been applied to lens elements in order to minimize lens flare and ghosting and contribute to producing contrast-rich and colour-neutral imagery, even in backlit conditions.
• Nine-blade rounded diaphragm contributes to a smooth and pleasing bokeh quality.
• Coreless DC motor is used for quick and accurate autofocus performance. Additionally, an updated focusing algorithm, full-time manual focus override, large angle of rotation, and focus-by-wire system enable increased and controllable focus adjustment.
• The lens is constructed using a Thermally Stable Composite (TSC) material, along with traditional metals, for greater precision and use in wide temperature variations.
• The bayonet mount is constructed from brass for ensured accuracy and durability. Additionally, rubber sealing is incorporated in the mount design to render it dust- and splash-resistant.
• Compatible with optional EM-140 DG Macro Ring Flash when used in conjunction with the separate 65mm Macro Flash Adapter for even lighting as close working distances.
• Compatible with optional TC-1401 and TC-2001 Teleconverters to extend the effective focal length of the lens while retaining autofocus functionality.
