Versatile enough for close-up and faraway subjects, the Sony A-mount APO 70-300mm f/4-5.6 DG Macro from Sigma is a telephoto zoom lens characterized by its unique ability to also handle macro applications with a 1:2 maximum magnification ratio. Featuring an apochromatic designation, this lens's optical design employs three Special Low Dispersion elements to virtually eliminate chromatic aberrations and color fringing for high clarity and color accuracy. A multi-layer coating is also used to control ghosting and flare for improved contrast when working in bright and backlit conditions. Additionally, a nine-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality.
