Super Multi Coating reduces
flare and ghosting that tends to occur when using digital SLR cameras.
High performance medium
telephoto macro lens optimized for digital cameras.
MACRO 105mm F2.8 EX DG allows greater working distance between the
lens and subject. High contrast and excellent image quality are made
possible in all shooting ranges. This macro lens is ideal for digital
SLR cameras as well as film SLR cameras.
Reduces flare and ghost
This new medium telephoto macro lens employs a new design concept for
digital SLR cameras. Its new lens power layout produces an excellent
optical performance and also reduces flare and ghost. This new lens is
designed to reduce the influence of harmful light caused by reflections
from the digital image sensor.
An easy to use 105mm medium telephoto
lens
MACRO 105mm F2.8 EX DG lens is very suitable for taking pictures in
nature and it enables to use of natural light conditions or flash.
The greater working distance of this lens is very advantageous when
taking the picture of a flower among the branches or an insect. You do
not shake your subject when you want to take its precise details without
blurring by using a tripod.
The narrow angle of view is a great aid for simplifying backgrounds and
shallow depth of field makes it easier to handle the composition. This
lens would have an equivalent field of view of a 178mm telephoto macro
lens on a digital SLR camera (when used with the SD10).
Minimum aperture of F45
Depth of field of medium telephoto macro lenses is generally very
shallow; however, Sigma, Canon and Konica Minolta mounts of this lens
have a minimum aperture of F45 (or F32 for Nikon and Pentax mounts) for
incredible depth of field.
Screw-in lens hood
A screw-in hood is included, for convenient use of circular
polarizing filters. It is possible to attach a 77mm filter in front of
the lens hood.
Dual Focus (DF) system
This lens also incorporates a Dual Focus (DF) system that is designed
to make the lens easy to hold during auto focusing. The large focus ring
offers smooth and positive action whilst focusing manually.
