Versatile enough for close-up and faraway subjects, the Nikon F-mount 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. The optical design incorporates one Special Low Dispersion element, which helps to control chromatic aberrations and color fringing for high clarity and color accuracy. A multi-layer coating is also used to reduce ghosting and flare for improved contrast when working in bright and backlit conditions. Additionally, a nine-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality.
