105mm Macro Lens for Nikon F
The SIGMA 258306 is a 105mm f/2.8 macro lens built for Nikon F-mount digital SLR cameras. It delivers 1:1 magnification for true life-size close-up photography. Optical Stabilization and a Hyper Sonic Motor provide steady handheld shooting and fast, quiet autofocus with full-time manual override. A rounded nine-blade diaphragm creates smooth background blur.
Installation and common issues
The lens mounts directly on any Nikon F-mount body and communicates aperture and focus data electronically. Optical Stabilization activates via a switch on the barrel and works best when turned off during tripod use. The focus limiter can speed up autofocus by restricting the search range. Vignetting may appear at wider apertures on full-frame sensors and usually diminishes when stopped down.
Compatibility checklist
Confirm your camera uses the Nikon F mount and supports AF lenses with an internal focus motor. Check that a 62mm filter thread matches any filters or accessories you plan to use. The lens weighs approximately 1.60 lb, so ensure your tripod head and camera strap are rated for the combined load. Verify minimum focus distance suits your intended working space.

Questions about this item
How do I verify the lens is functioning correctly after mounting it on my Nikon F body?
Attach the lens, set the focus switch to AF, and half-press the shutter; the Hyper Sonic Motor should drive focus silently and the OS switch should activate the optical stabilizer for handheld shooting.
What accessories are included and what must I purchase separately?
The box contains the 105mm f/2.8 Macro Lens, a hood adapter, a dedicated lens hood, front and rear caps, and a carrying case; filters for the 62 mm thread are sold separately.
Which version of this 105mm macro should I choose for 1:1 reproduction on a Nikon F mount?
