Sigma 28-300mm f/3.5-6.3 DG Macro Lens for Nikon Digital SLR

28-300mm F3.5-6.3 MACRO lens covers all the focal lengths from 28mm wide angle to 300mm telephoto with 10.7:1 high zoom ratio as well as macro capability. 28-300mm F3.5-6.3 MACRO packs a lot of performance in a compact package with ultra compact dimensions (Diameter 74mm and Length of 86mm) that make this lens the ultimate traveling companion. Its the ideal lens all types of photography and optimized for digital SLR cameras. The new multi layer lens coating and lens design reduce flare and ghost, which is a common problem with digital cameras and also creates an optimum color balance through the entire zoom range. This lens features one Special Low Dispersion (SLD) glass element and one aspherical lens in the front lens group, and one SLD glass element and three aspherical lenses in the rear lens group. This lens provides excellent correction for all types of aberrations. The 28-300mm F3.5-6.3 DG MACRO lens has a minimum focusing distance of 50cm at all focal lengths and is equipped with a macro mechanism for close-up photography at 300mm telephoto, allowing a reproduction ratio of 1:3. This design allows for stability and compactness in design as changes in focus are made in an internal lens grouping. This also gives the advantage of a non-rotating front lens assembly, which is of great benefit when using polarizing filter and Petal-type hood. 28-300mm F3.5-6.3 MACRO lens is equipped with a zoom lock to prevent the lens from creeping due to its own weight, and to offer protection whilst the lens is being carried.

Customer Reviews

Great for the Price!
This is a great lens! Although the Auto Focus feature does not work with the D40, which I have, I still like it very much. I don't have to switch lenses and the price is great. I was looking into nikon lenses, but the closest they have is 70-300, meaning I would have to change lenses; it was also $600! I think this is the way to go if you are not a professional, and you're just looking for that perfect shot!

A good deal for the price
Not the fastest lens out there but for overall versatility for the money it can't be beat.
