Important Points about the lens Sigma 70-300mm 1: 4-5.6 D DL Macro (good and bad):

1. Lens suitable for full-frame cameras and for cameras with APS-C cameras. That is, the lens will work on Nikon D3 and Nikon D50.
2. When using the camera with a matrix APS-C, field of view is narrower and will be equal to the lens with a focal length of 105-450mm, which is a real body range. If you do not understand, read about the crop factor.
3. Lens has aperture ring, so it can be used on film cameras, and this is a very useful feature for all sorts of pictures of experiments, for example, to record a macro lens in reverse position. To control for Nikon cameras produced from the camera, set the lens minimum aperture F22. If you do not, the camera does not recognize the lens. To lock the position of the diaphragm and the use of automatic iris control is a special button on the lens locks. When set to F22, it can block the aperture ring in that position.
4. Lens has the ability to macro shooting. This option is available only at a focal distance of 300mm and switched mode 'Macro at 300'. When you switch to the 'Macro at 300' focus ring can be twisted even by a few degrees, extending the trunk and achieving macro 1: 2. Of course, 1 to 2 is not present, close-up, but nevertheless, this is a very useful feature. Also, keep in mind that in this position blocks the possibility of zoom. When enabled, 'Macro at 300' can not be zoomed as long as the lens switch mode «Normal». Most interesting is that the autofocus* works in both modes. The camera can focus itself in the mode of «Macro at 300". For example, the lens Nikon 35-70mm f / 2.8 AF-D ZOOM-NIKKOR does not automatically focus in macro mode.
5. Lens has no autofocus motor. Therefore, the lens can not focus automatically on the newer Nikon cameras such as the Nikon D40, D40x, D60, D3000, D3100, D5000, D5100, and the like. In order to be able to auto focus, it is necessary to use the lens to a camera with a motor, such as a Nikon D50, D80, D200, D700, etc.
6. On the lens are all the required indicators - aperture, focal length, focus distance, depth of field (for F11, 16, 22), as well as increase coefficient mode 'Macro at 300'.
7. Diameter front lens for 58mm filter.

*This lens will auto-focus on all Nikon 35mm AF bodies. It will not auto-focus on the cheaper Nikon digital bodies, which do not have the built-in AF motor.
