One of the BEST lenses I have ever bought.

I have been using this lens almost exclusively for the past few months. To say that I am impressed with it would be an understatement. This lens has perfomred flawlessly with my Sony Alpha7R3. I will say this, read up on the switch settings on the side, and pay attention to your distance to the subject. It took me about a day to get accustomed to switching the distance setting for the correct image. I have used this lens for macro photography of flowers, for portraits, and for landscapes. It is one of the most versitile lenses that I have used. NOTE: If the lens is taking "forever" to focus, check the switch setting, you may be close to the subject and the focus is set to the greater distance. Once you get the "feel" for the distance, it becomes second nature!

Very great macro or portrait lens.

Very great macro lens. I have used and enjoyed this lens very much. If you want to take macro shots this is a very good and not very expressive lens to do that with!

This is an amazing lens. Super crisp, and all around powerful lens for a great price. Great lens for macro, but I also love using it for product photography.

Sharp but slow focus

The image is very sharp if the focus is set correctly. I used it with my Canon 6D, but found that the auto-focus is quite slow and very noisy when doing macro photography. Manual focus is also not so smooth (especially no image stabilization). Compared with Canon 100 mm f2.8L, such disadvantage is obvious. Especially, do not forget to take the lens tube back (manually) when taking it off from the camera, otherwise the lens bag cannot hold it!! It is quite troublesome!

Convenient macro

Great lens. Smooth but slow focus. Sometimes I get confused with the distances, for it is a macro, so I have to check the switch between macro focal distances and regular to infinity. Solid construction. I have tested it with a Panasonic S1R via the Sigma MC-21 adapter and in a Sony camera via the Sigma MC-11 adapter. Both worked nice! So this is a lens that stays in my collection.

Meets expectations

This lens is very sharp even at f2.8, auto focus is quiet and fast at non-macro distances. The auto focus hunts some at macro distances, but very accurate in the manual mode. My overall assessment, it is great lens, just what I was looking for. Easy to use and the image control is intuitive.

Fantastic Macro Lens

I Have been using macro lenses since the 70’s and I have probably owned and used over a dozen of them. I recently received the Sigma 70MM ART macro lens in the sony E mount and I have to say that the performance is up there with my Voigtlander APO. It isn’t second place to any macro I have ever owned or used. Some people complain that the lens does not focus fast. Think about the range a macro has to go thru from 1:1 to infinity. It has to move it’s focusing elements several inches. It isn’t practical to make it as snappy as your wide or normal focal lengths. It isn’t a fair comparison. In good light it is reasonably fast when working with longer distances. Some complain about the focus by wire taking a lot of turns to focus. Again, consider this is a macro lens, not a portrait lens. You need lots of precision when focusing in the macro range otherwise you could not achieve the needed accuracy when working with a very shallow depth of field. Others have complained that the lens extends when focusing closer. It does, however, unlike some lenses that have internal focusing it’s optical focal length does not decrease as you get closer. A macro lens can be a general purpose lens when needed but keep in mind it is a special purpose lens first. To me the things that some people don’t like about this lens are part of it’s design and are what makes this a FANTASTIC macro lens not a compromised lens.

Great Value

This is my first experience with a macro lens The price prompted me to try it & I am very satisfied. The lens is extremely sharp & autofocus works well, no complaints. The tripod was an added bonus in the bundle. The center column that can be extended at right angle to tripod has proven to be very helpful. This package is definitely good value for the money.

Great lens at a great price

The sharpness and clarity of this lens is very impressive. Yes, it’s auto-focus is slow, but I do not in any way feel compromised when doing macro and still-life work. And at the price, it has been a very good purchase.

Amazing lens deserving more credit than it's currently getting

With other available macro lens out there for the E-mount, it's tough not to ignore a Sigma Art series macro lens. Once you've gotten used to the mechanical features to the lens, this lens will impress you in so many areas. It's compact, and lightweight allowing you to keep the weight down and pack efficiently in your gear bag - which is a huge reason why i switched 100% over to Sony from being a native Canon wedding photographer. Using this for macro ring shots and other fine details, the quality and sharpness in the photos were very impressive. Compared to Sony's 90mm and Canon's 100mm L, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference. With the Sony A7III, the magnification allows you to nail focus with great accuracy where you need it most. Colors are vibrant and true, little color correction was needed in all my testing.

Pretty good for the only one without an adapter.

This is currently the only macro with the L mount available for purchase. (March 2020) The image quality is quite good. The build quality feels a little less than great.

Sharp lens! Highly recommend.

Beautiful macro lens, exceptionally sharp! It does a bit of focus hunting, but with the Sony A7iii touch screen focus, the problem is solved. Well-built with quality materials. It is a third the cost of the Sony 90mm macro.

Wonderful lens with spectacular image quality.

I am in love with this lens! Absolutely stunning image clarity--the sharpest lens I've ever used. And the bokeh is lovely. Yes, it sometimes has to hunt for the focal point, but not that much and not that often. Small price to pay for such spectacular image quality. It is also lightweight compared to other macros and fits wonderfully on my Sony A7iii. The touch screen focus function on the A7iii also solves the focus hunting problems--Simply touch the focal point on the LCD and the Sigma finds it. Great quality lens for Sony E cameras with image stabilization and touch screen focus. I couldn't be happier.

High quality optics and unbeatable package

I watched many reviews on this lens and like what often happens people will talk you out of anything. But this is an excellent lens! It isnt as snappy to focus as others but this is designed for quality not race car speed. Its a great focus length for portraits and headshots but also a wonderful micro lens. There's a switch on the side to go macro, otherwise it works well in FULL mode on my Canon EOS RP, and when I switch to shoot cropped, it simulates a little further out. Sigma really delivers with super-sharp, great color saturation and for an affordable price. Oh, and its in a small package. You'll spend 3X and have 2X the size/weight compared to this. Highly recommended!

Glad I didn't get the Sony 90

This was way more lens than I was expecting! I opted for this instead of the Sony 90mm macro due to price as I only use it for ring shots. Previously I had been using an old 60mm Nikon lens. This one far outshines that one! It's super sharp, easy to focus and allows great range. I've only used it once so far, but was very happy!

Satisfied New User

I have been only dabbling in macro over the years. I got this lens 2 days ago and have been playing with it. It is sharp,has very good image quality and is somewhat slow. The speed has been noted and is expected. The focus limiting switches help. I used a Sony A72 and A6500. Initially I'm thinking I had more success with the A6500 in the AF department. Outside in normal focus range, the AF speed is decent. Lastly, just be sure to get a good enough shutter speed and you will be pleased with the results.

This lens has great detail, and that is why I decided to keep it. However it is painfully slow at focusing, I believe with more use that I will learn more about how to use this lens without the focus frustrations.

Great Quality for Macro

I only recommend this if you can get the 90mm G. The image quality is great but AF is a bit quirky. Up close at macro level it is a bit slow to capture focus. However, if money is an issue and you have flexibility to manually focus and or wait for AF to catch on I do recommend it.

super great lens!

This lens is super sharp, fast and gives good color. Previously I was using the Canon 24-70 II, with the Sigma MC-11 adapter. That is a great lens, but I wanted to get all the features that a native Sony lens would have. I am not disappointed with the picture quality and can't believe it costs so much less.

Fun lens

I am happy with this purchase. Adorama was great to work with and the lens is far more capable than I am and I know my images will improve as my skill does. My only gripe is that the overall focus speed feels slow, but I believe that ultimately that is mostly user error. I am including a recent capture using this lens on my A7II.

Great Lens, Great Price, Buy it if you don't need Image Stabilization

It is a great value. The focal length allows you to shoot portraits as well as the typical Macro shots. Pros - Sharp - Price - Nice Bokeh - The Size and Weight (make it is easy to hold steady) Cons - (Autofocus) somewhat loud and it hunts a bit - No IS (but that saves you money and is less of an issue on Sony bodies)

View full Review

Be captivated by the exceptional clarity and resolution offered by the Sigma 70mm F2.8 DG Macro Art Lens for Leica L. This innovative lens, a much-anticipated addition to the Art line, is designed with a focus on optical performance, delivering stunning resolution and incredible clarity that surpasses expectations for a macro lens.

Unlike standard range macro lenses that prioritize autofocus speed, this lens is crafted to prioritize optical performance, meeting the demanding image quality requirements that define the Art line. In the standard to mid-telephoto range, it provides breathtaking visual experiences, making it an ideal choice for professional photographers and photography enthusiasts alike.

The Sigma 70mm F2.8 DG Macro Art Lens features an extending, floating, two-group focus mechanism, designed to minimize aberration and produce optimal results at any focus distance. The optical system incorporates two FLD glass elements, two SLD glass elements, and one element with a high rate of anomalous partial dispersion and a high index of refraction. This combination, along with two aspherical lens elements, helps increase resolution at close shooting distances, delivering razor-sharp images with a bokeh area free of color streaking.

The lens also features a focus-by-wire system, which eliminates the direct mechanical connection between the focus ring and the focus drive system. Controlled by Sigma's latest algorithm, a newly developed coreless DC motor adjusts focus with optimal speed and low noise. This allows for full-time manual focus, even during autofocus, providing the photographer with the ability to make minute focus adjustments simply by turning the focus ring.

This lens is compatible with full-frame Sony E-mount cameras, performing the same functions as the converter, including in-camera image stabilization and in-camera lens aberration correction. It also supports Sony's Continuous AF. Over time, Sigma plans to offer Sony E-mount versions of every full-frame prime lens currently available in the Art line, from 14mm to 135mm.

Experience the high-quality, professional, reliable, durable, and innovative Sigma 70mm F2.8 DG Macro Art Lens for Leica L, and elevate your photography to new heights.
