Sigma 60mm F2.8 DN Lens for Micro Four Thirds - Black

Product Description ------------------- With their compact bodies and a diverse range of design, mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras have been evolving in their own unique way. To achieve a lens system corresponding to the cameras of the new era - shaped by such thoughts, the high- performance mid-range telephoto lens for mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras offers Sigma's original innovation in a form that is more polished and refined than ever before. In order to maximize performance of mirrorless cameras, advanced optical technology is explored to achieve expressive performance worthy of Sigma's Art line. Featuring the natural perspective of mid-range telephoto lenses, together with a shallow depth of field, this lens allows the photographer to capture a single part of a subject. It brilliantly realizes the photographer's intentions. Our Art line delivers high-level artistic quality Sigma is organizing all its interchangeable lenses into three product lines; Contemporary, Art and Sports. Designed with a focus on sophisticated optical performance and abundant expressive power, our Art line delivers high-level artistic expression. Developed with the maximum emphasis on artistic touch, they are designed to meet the expectations of users who value a creative, dramatic outcome above compactness and multifunction. Along with landscapes, portraits, still-life, close-up and casual snaps, they are perfect for the kind of photography that unleashes the inner artist. Ideal for studio photography, they offer just as much expressive when capturing architecture, starry skies, underwater s and many other scenes. Mid-range telephoto lens for mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras The high-performance mid-range telephoto lens has an angle of view equivalent to 120mm on the Micro Four Thirds system and 90mm on the E- system (35mm equivalent focal length). Featuring the natural perspective and shallow depth of field, as well as beautiful bokeh effects, this lens allows the photographer to capture a single part of a subject. It brilliantly realizes the photographer's intentions. Currently comprising the SIGMA 60mm F2.8 DN mid-range telephoto lens, the SIGMA 30mm F2.8 DN standard lens and the SIGMA 19mm F2.8 DN wide-angle lens are expanding photographers' high-performance options for mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras. Superior optical performance and functionality. Sigma's original innovation is now more polished and refined than ever before The simple shape of the focus ring, varying textures that distinguish each part of the lens, the use of metal on almost all external areas of the lens, the unibody design of the hood-all of these elements add up to a lens design that is ideal for mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras. In addition, photographers have the choice of black or silver to match their favourite equipment. Exceptional image quality This lens features SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass, which helps minimize axial and transverse chromatic aberration. Glass mould aspherical lenses help minimize coma. Optimized power distribution helps ensure exceptional image quality from the centre to the edges of the images. In addition, the inner focusing system corrects the fluctuation of aberration to maintain image quality regardless of the focusing position. Flare and ghosting reduction From an early stage in the lens design process, flare and ghosting have been measured to establish an optical design resistant to strong incident light sources such as backlighting. Sigma's Super Multi-Layer Coating reduces flare and ghosting to help photographers produce sharp and high contrast images even in backlit conditions Incorporating Rounded diaphragm The 7 blade rounded diaphragm creates an attractive round bokeh at large-aperture settings. Brass made bayonet This lens incorporates a brass made bayonet which has both high accuracy and durability. A special to reinforce its strength is applied to the surface giving it greater strength and making it highly resistant to long-term use. “Made in Japan” Optimizing quality with our integrated production system, Sigma is focused on making things right, with our own hands and our own techniques.
