Sigma 70 mm f/2.8 EX DG Macro

5. Chromatic aberration

The chromatic aberration, measured by us, showed some slight declining tendency with the closing of the aperture and ranged from 0.10% to 0.085%. It is a medium value so the correction level of this aberration should be considered satisfactory.

Sigma 70 mm f/2.8 EX DG Macro - Chromatic aberration

How the Sigma compares to other devices of this class? Unfortunately unfavourably. The aberration in the case of the Tamron 2.8/90 also decreased with the aperture but it was much faster; it became practically imperceptible already by f/5.6. The performance of the Sigma 2.8/105 was simply outstanding because the level of that aberration never exceeded 0.03% for the most commonly used aperture.
