Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 DG Macro Nikon Telephoto Zoom Lens

The 70-300mm F4-5.6 DG Macro Telephoto Zoom Lens has excellent cost performance and is optimized for use with Digital SLR cameras. Capable of macro photography, this lens has a 1:2 maximum close-up magnification at the 300mm focal length. It's the ideal high performance lens for portraits, sports photography, nature photography, and other types of photography that frequently use the telephoto range. SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass in this lens provides excellent correction of chromatic aberration. This also corrects for fluctuation of aberration due to focusing. High Optical performance is demonstrated throughout the entire zoom range. The multi-layer lens coating and lens design reduces flare and ghost (a common problem with digital cameras), and also creates an optimum Color balance throughout the entire zoom range. The minimum focusing distance is 1.5m/59" at all zoom settings. It also has a Switch for changeover to macro photography at focal lengths between 200mm and 300mm with a maximum close-up magnification from 1:2.9 to 1:2 and a minimum focusing distance of 95cm (37.4"). You can also change the shooting magnification without changing the distance between the camera and the subject.
