Sigma 105mm f/2.8 DG DN Macro Art

Sigma's flagship macro prime for mirrorless systems — the 105mm f/2.8 DG DN Macro Art delivers true 1:1 magnification in a native mirrorless design with Art-series optical quality. It is significantly more affordable than Sony's own 90mm G Macro while delivering comparable sharpness and arguably superior bokeh at portrait distances. The 105mm focal length gives comfortable working distance for small subjects and produces beautiful subject compression for portrait work. Available for Sony FE mount.

GearFrame's Take

Art-series macro quality at a compelling price — arguably the best-value 1:1 macro for Sony FE shooters who want professional results without the G-series premium.
