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. 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. Ideal for macro shooting, this lens offers a dedicated Macro position for half of life-size 1:2 maximum magnification along with a minimum focusing distance of 3.1' to suit working with close-up subjects. The multi-layer coating has been applied to individual elements to minimize flare and ghosting for improved contrast and color accuracy when working in strong lighting conditions.
