This medium telephoto macro lens is ideal for both digital
SLR cameras and 35mm film SLR cameras. The 70mm focal length
gives an equivalent field of view as the popular 105mm macro
lens when used on digital SLR cameras with an APS-C size image
sensor. The design of this lens makes it suitable for taking
pictures in all situations from infinity to 1: 1 macro, both
with natural light conditions or flash.A Special Low Dispersion
(SLD) lens and two high refractive index SLD lenses provide
excellent correction for all types of aberrations and produce
an exceptional level of optical performance. Sigma's super
multi-layer lens coating reduces flare and ghosting, and helps
create a natural color balance. The floating focus system provides
extremely high optical performance from infinity to 1: 1 Macro.
