Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 DG APO Macro Telephoto Zoom Lens for Nikon SLR Cameras description
The Sigma APO 70-300mm f4-5.6 DG Macro Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras is a telephoto zoom lens with tele-macro functionality. Optimized for digital cameras, this high-performance lens has two Special Low Dispersion (SLD) glass elements in the front lens group and one in the rear lens group. It is able to shoot with maximum magnification 1:2 at the focal length of 300 millimeters. It's the ideal lens for portraits, sports photography, nature photography, and other types of photography that frequently use the telephoto range.

The multi-layer lens coating and lens design reduce flare and ghosting, which is a common problem with digital cameras, and it also creates an optimum color balance through the entire zoom range. High optical performance is demonstrated throughout the entire zoom range. The lens features a switch that converts the lens to macro photography at focal lengths between 200 millimeters and 300 millimeters, with a minimum focusing distance of 37.4 inches. In normal mode the minimum focusing distance is 59.1 inches at all zoom settings.

♥♥♥♥ It's one of the worst lens..I own!!
I would have given this lens a "zero" rating if I could! I bought 3 Sigma lenses and it is the second time that I had a problem with the lens produced by this manufacturer. All of the images I took with this lens (not one exception) came out soft to very soft even at smaller f-stop and even at the shortest focal length settings. MACRO mode is simply unacceptable. I took just a little over 70 test shots and after careful reveiw of each image I concluded that this lens may be inexpensive but it is not worth to carry around (I am just afraid that I might ruin THAT shot of my life). I posted some of the pictures I took with this lens, here on this page, for you to see as well.

Perhaps I got a defective product because my other two Sigma lenses, AFTER AN EXCHANGE ON ONE OF THEM, perform well. I did not exchange this lens and got stuck with it. It was not because of the vendor or Amazon. I was tied up with work at the time and did not have a chance to initiate the returning or exchanging of the product in time.

My opinion, Sigma lenses can be very good but the quality is not always consistent.

Other than images that I took with this lens, I have also posted images taken from many of the other lenses I own (in the corresponding product pages). Please check them out and decide for yourself.
