This Sigma Macro 70mm F2.8 is ideally suited for taking pictures of insects or other small creature where a closer approach to the subject would scare them away. This greater distance also allows the photographer more flexibility in lighting the subject with natural light reflectors. Three SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass elements provide optimum color correction and sharpness throughout the entire zoom range and Super Multi-layer coating reduces flare & ghosting. A floating internal focus system enables a minimum shooting distance of 25.7 cm / 10.1 in, with critical sharpness regardless of distance
Designed for use with full frame digital SLR cameras. May also be used
with smaller APS-c size sensors with a corresponding effective increase
in focal length to about 105mm with most cameras
Focuses down to 1:1 magnification ratio at its closest working distance of 25.7 cm / 10.1 inches
