Sigma 105mm Macro Lens for Nikon F

The Sigma 105mm f/2.8 EX DG OS HSM Macro Lens is a short-telephoto prime built for Nikon F-mount FX-format DSLR cameras. It delivers life-size 1:1 magnification with a minimum focusing distance of 1 foot. The bright f/2.8 maximum aperture suits a wide range of lighting conditions for close-up work.

Upgrade from standard kit zooms

Photographers moving from variable-aperture zooms gain a constant f/2.8 aperture, dedicated 1:1 macro reproduction and a Hyper Sonic Motor for quiet, fast autofocus. The jump is worth it when true macro magnification and flat-field sharpness matter more than zoom flexibility. Two SLD elements and Super Multi-Layer Coating suppress chromatic aberration and flare.

Limits of the F-mount macro design

The optical formula covers the FX image circle, so it works on both full-frame and APS-C Nikon DSLRs without vignetting. Aperture stops down to f/22 for deep depth of field, though diffraction softens detail at the smallest stop. The floating internal focus design maintains performance across distances but does not add optical stabilisation. Buyers needing autofocus on Z-mount mirrorless bodies require a separate adapter.

Questions about this item

Will the 105mm F2.8 lens mount directly on my Nikon F-mount DSLR?

Yes, it is built for the Nikon F mount in FX format and fits without an adapter.

What is the trick to engaging the Hyper Sonic Motor for autofocus during installation?

Set the camera body to AF mode, attach the lens until it clicks, then half-press the shutter to wake the HSM system.

How often should I clean the Super Multi-Layer Coating on the front element?

Only when visible dust or smudges appear; use a blower first, then a microfibre cloth with lens fluid if needed.
