A good, affordable third party lens for Nikon digital SLR users, covering your general telephoto range needs and also good for portraits and wide scene field sports shots. Picture sharpness is enhanced with special low dispersion glass elements and a macro function is included.  If you’re using an APS-C size camera sensor, ie not a Nikon D3 or similar full frame series camera, you’ll have an effective 35mm equivalent focal range of 105-450mm.

 

DG is for APS-C size and full frame 35mm compatible 

 

This lens is suitable for all Nikon digital SLR cameras

 

APO is for Apochromatic

 

This lens contains 3 special low-dispersion (SLD) glass elements which are designed to minimise colour aberration for sharper pictures.

 

Macro

 

Although not a true 1:1 true life macro, the macro function available on this lens between the 200-300mm range does allow you to achieve a minimum focus distance of 95cm, as opposed to the usual 150cm minimum focus distance when not in macro mode. The resultant magnification in macro-mode is 1:2, which is still useful for portraiture and useable in small still-life close-up photography
