THE SIGMA 70-300mm F4-5.6 DG MACRO
For those of you who know what I'm talking about.
Basically I picked up this lens two weeks ago, to compliment the current one I have which came as part of the original kit.
For its price its not too bad. [ Approx 200 USD ].
yes its supposed to have the new coating on the glass and SLD glass ( Special Low Dispersion ), both of which work quite well and eliminate flare and does away with chromatic aberration commonly seen in higher-end tele lenses.
The macro setting is an over-rated feature, and frankly doesntly allow me to get close enough.
From 70 upto 200 its quite good, after which it drops sharply. AF mode too is a little slower, and it "hunts". So frequently I shot in MF mode. Easier for DOF calculation too at that range.
I ned to work it some more to do it justice, meanwhile here are some pics, not all using the SIGMA.
