True Macro Photography - Anytime, Anywhere

With a minimum focusing distance of 22cm and a maximum magnification ratio of 1:2.8, this lens rivals macro lenses in results. This lens features a minimum focusing distance of 22cm and a maximum magnification ratio of 1:2.8, producing results that rival those of macro lenses. At 70mm, its working distance is 5.52cm. When used as a telephoto lens, it's so close to a dedicated macro lens in performance the lens hood seems to touch the subject.

30% More Compact Than Previous Lenses Of Its Type

Completely rethinking the materials and structural layout to set a new benchmark for slim lens construction. To create a high-performance, compact lens that's ideal for use in the widest possible range of situations, SIGMA slenderized the lens barrel by reducing the size of the image stabilization OS unit and optimizing the lens power distribution and structural layout.

Superior Image Quality Throughout The Entire Zoom Range

From infinity to macro distances, this lens delivers superior image quality throughout the zoom range. To offer top image quality throughout the zoom range, the lens features 2 FLD (“F” Low Dispersion) glass elements, which have performance equal to fluorite, as well as a SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass, which helps minimize chromatic aberration.
