Product Description
This 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 that make this lens the ultimate traveling companion. It's 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.This 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.This 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.Similar Products

This is a low cost and very versatile lens so long as one does not expect perfection. Not as sharp as lenses costing 3-4 times more (big surprise there), it is nonetheless good enough for most hobbyists. I bought it as a one lens choice for vacations and travel. I dislike carrying a bag and multiple lenses while traveling, but I wanted a wide zoom range at a low price. This fills the bill nicely. I am a bit disappointed in the telephoto end of this lens. My Tamron 75-300 brings things a good deal closer than does this lens's 300mm setting. I have tested them both at the maximum focal length on the same subjects, and the Tamron definitely renders subjects as substantially larger. I am not convinced we are getting the full 300mm focal length here. I think it's really somewhere around 250mm (either that or the Tamron is really more than 300mm). That being said, I am still happy with the lens over all. It's relatively light and compact and has a big zoom ratio even if its not quite as big as advertised. Macro works well. I have not been disappointed with image quality, although if I were shooting professionally I would want something a bit sharper.

This is my second Sigma 28-300mm lens. The Sigma lens has great zoom range, makes great images, is easy to operate, and will auto-focus quickly. My first Sigma lens lasted about 2 years from constant use and the zoom movement jammed due to keyway failure. The new lens I have now has a tighter zoom movement than the first one and I plan to take several thousand digital pictures with it.
Let's go take pictures!!

I had this lens for a few months. It took some nice pictures. It's not very sharp but it's a great walk around lens because of its range and price. The build quality is poor. When a screw inside broke, it wouldn't zoom out anymore when rotated. I think it's would be alright if you're very careful with it and rotate the zoom slowly.

I'll simply say two things:
It is a good lens enjoyable to use. And U dont need to change lens during your shooting. (although it does not have a wide angle if you dont have a full frame. 28*1.5=42 42 is a normal angled objective(1.5 is the focal multipler of the nikon non-fullframe cameras)) especially gives great macro photos.
The bad thing is when you are using more den 150-200mm focal lenth you must use high shutter speed so you can have a clear photo otherwise you can have a blur one.
This objective good in static shooting but I dont recomand shooting far scenes with out a tripod.
thanks or reading :)
