Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sigma 70-300mm F4-5.6 APO Macro Super Lens for Nikon-AF Camera
Customer Review: Excellent Zoom with Great Macro Capability
Summary: 4 Stars
It was between the very resonably priced 70-300 Nikkor and this one from Sigma. I chose this one, mainly on the basis of the macro capability, and glad I did. I've gotten some super honeybee shots, and frame-filling portraits. Resolution couldn't be better, fully equal to the Nikkor or any fixed focal length lens in this range (as far as I can judge.) Light and relatively short, it's convenient to carry. Pair this with a good short zoom, and you're set.
Description of Sigma 70-300mm F4-5.6 APO Macro Super Lens for Nikon-AF Camera
SO) 70-300MM F4-5.6 APO M DG F/NIKONSigma's 70-300mm f4-f5.6 APO macro super lens has a compact apochromatic telezoom lens that incorporates two special low-dispersion glass elements in the front lens group with one special low-dispersion glass element in the rear lens group. The arrangement of the optics serves to minimize the chromatic aberration that can occur.
This telemacro zoom lens can achieve a magnification ratio of 1:2 (one-half life size) for macro and telephotography images at its 300mm focal length. As an accessory, you can add a 58mm achromatic close-up lens (not included), and get even closer focusing and reproduction ratios of 1:1 (life size) and still maintain excellent optical quality. The optical materials are made from lead-free and arsenic-free ecological glass. This model is dedicated to Nikon AF SLR cameras.
