The Sigma 70-300mm 4-5.6 DG Macro lens is the compact and economical choice for a telephoto zoom lens. Capable of macro photography, this lens has a 1:2 maximum close-up magnification at the 300mm focal length. It is the ideal high performance lens for portraits, sports photography, nature photography, and other types of photography that frequently use the telephoto range.

          Comments about 70-300mm f/4-5.6 DG Macro Autofocus Lens for Sigma Cameras:

          Even though the info says it's only for Sigma camera's, it works very well on my Nikon D90. The lens focus is very fast and allows you to take sharp pictures. I read somewhere else online that the Sigma lens is compatible with the SLR nikon cameras and that the quality is of the lens is excellent choice for the value of the len's. I would recommend this lens to all level's of photography.
