although I did not buy this from Adorama, I wish I had waited, it is now [$] cheaper than the sale price I paid. Anyway, this lens ROCKS, check out the pics, right out of the camera, nothing done to them........those nay sayers, dont know what they find bad, but this lens is great.

Comments about Sigma Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 DG Macro Tele Zoom Lens for Nikon AF-D Cameras:
A great lens at this price. I am using it for all around use on a D1. Sharp and quick focusing that outdid the Ni-con lens I have. Great details on Macros.
One of the neat things about this lens is that you can manual focus and manually set the aperture! More flexibility is always a good thing.
The only thing that concerned me was it's lifespan, but with the manual aperture and focusing, I can see it being around my gear for awhile.
At this price/feature range it is a steal.

Comments about Sigma Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 DG Macro Tele Zoom Lens for Nikon AF-D Cameras:
This is a great zoom lens for the beginner. I've heard people bash it 'cause it's a slow lens, but if you want an f/2.8 you better pony up 12x as much money. For me it's perfect, takes sharp pics at 200mm and acceptable pics at 300mm (fuzzy at the fringes but pretty sharp in the middle). Good color rendition and, in good light, focuses fast. I'd definately recommend it to others. Switching in and out of macro is a bit cumbersome, but isn't difficult if you practice a little, and the autofocus is noisy. For as cheap as it is though, I'll deal with the perceived negatives.

very good lens for the price. it has moderate auto focus in the fact that it is very sharp but kind of slow until you have something in focus then its fast. i also love the macro feature on the lens it really does show on the pictures
