Sigma has announced 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 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 company’s premium Art range of prime lenses. A key consideration has been to improve the optical quality of the lens; however a drawback of this approach means the DG DN version lacks built-in optical stabilisation, and furthermore, Sigma CEO Kazuto Yamaki has admitted that its autofocus performance won’t be particularly fast.
