Macro lenses with short telephoto focal lengths are some of the most useful and flexible optics a photographer can own, giving you access to a world of detail all around us, but also doubling as a fantastic option for tack-sharp portraits and more. The Sigma 105mm f/2.8 DG DN Macro Art offers that versatile combo at a relatively affordable price ($799), and this great video review takes a look at the lens and the sort of performance and image quality you can expect from it. 

Coming to you from Stefan Malloch, this excellent video review takes a look at the Sigma 105mm f/2.8 DG DN Macro Art lens. Made of Sony E and Leica L mount, this lens comes with a variety of great features, including:
