Sigma has launched the new AML-1 close-up lens exclusively for the Sigma DP1 camera.

Attached via the optional Hood Adapter HA-11, this lens enables close-up photography with a focusing distance between 20cm and 33cm

The exclusive design creates high image quality and its super multi-layer coating is said to reduce flare and ghosting.

Also, the lens construction of two elements in one group provides correction for colour aberration and distortion, which means you can expect a high level of optical performance.

Available from June, the lens will cost £44.99.
