Sigma Art 70mm f/2.8 DG Macro 70mm
With 1:1 magnification and three SLD elements, this 70mm f/2.8 prime sharply corrects aberrations while acting as a 105mm equivalent on APS-C cameras. Its floating focus system maintains optical performance from infinity to macro, and the super multi-layer coating plus focus limiter switch improve flare resistance and AF speed. Best for Canon EF shooters seeking an affordable, lightweight macro optic for close-up and portrait work.
