About the Product

The optical construction features 17 elements in 12 groups, with specialized elements meticulously arranged to correct various aberrations, ensuring exceptional corner-to-corner sharpness from infinity focus down to the closest working distance.

Faqs:

What is the benefit of a 105mm focal length for macro work?

The 105mm focal length provides a longer working distance (the space between the front of the lens and the subject) compared to shorter macro lenses. This is crucial for shooting live subjects like insects, preventing your lens from casting a shadow, and providing better subject separation for portraits.

What does “1:1 maximum magnification” mean?

1:1 magnification, or “life-size” macro, means that the image projected onto the camera’s sensor is the same size as the actual physical subject. If you are shooting a small coin that is 1cm wide, its image on the full-frame sensor will also be 1cm wide, allowing you to capture extreme detail.

How is the Art line quality useful for macro photography?

Macro photography demands extreme resolution and flatness of field for critical sharpness across the entire close-up subject. The Art line’s uncompromising optical design ensures that the lens delivers this high performance, making sure every detail, texture, and nuance is faithfully reproduced.

Why does the lens need a Focus Limiter switch?

When shooting macro, the lens has to search a very wide range, from the closest distance (29.5cm) to infinity. The Focus Limiter allows you to restrict the focusing range (e.g., to only the close-up range or the distant range), which drastically reduces the time the AF motor spends searching, resulting in faster and more efficient autofocus.
