Lens Description

The Sigma 70-300mm F4-5.6 DG Macro is a normal to medium telephoto zoom designed for cameras with a Full-Frame sensor. This variable-aperture zoom covers a 70 to 300mm focal-range.

This 4X zoom lens focuses down to 150cm from the imaging plane, capturing subject with a maximum 0.5X magnification. The moderate manification of the Sigma 70-300mm F4-5.6 DG Macro makes it capable of closeup photography. The lens supports autofocus and features a switch to disengage AF for focusing manually. While this lens is capable of AF, it does not have a built-in focus motor. It can only focus with a compatible camera body which features a mechanical AF-coupling.

The lens weighs 530g.

This version of the lens has a Sony A mount. It directly attaches and is fully compatible with all Sony A mount cameras with Full-Frame or smaller sensors. Sigma also makes this lens for Canon EF, Nikon F, Pentax K and Sigma S mounts.
