Sigma CEO Kazuto Kamaki unveils Sigma 105mm f/2.8 DG DN Macro lens (Image credit: Sigma) Sigma has launched an updated Art Series version of its best-selling 105mm macro lens. The new Sigma 105mm f/2.8 DG DN Macro will be available for Sony E-mount and L-mount full-frame mirrorless cameras. The new macro lens has the same basic specification as the existing 105mm f/2.8 EX DG OS HSM - but has been completely redesigned for use on mirrorless cameras, and for inclusion in the premium Art range of prime lenses. A key consideration has been to improve optical quality of the lens – but a drawback of this approach means that the DG DN version does not have built-in optical stabilization. Furthermore, Sigma CEO Kazuto Yamaki admits that its autofocus performance will not be particularly fast. Yamaki also revealed that its existing 105mm Macro lens has been selling like proverbial hotcakes this year – with a 75% increase in sales in the US, and a doubling of sales in Germany – as people engaged with subjects closer to home during the Covid-19 lockdown.
