A Sigma 70-300mm f4-5.6 autofocus* lens capable of covering the whole sensor of full-frame DSLR cameras. It is in very good optical, physical, and mechanical condition.
This lens differs from some similar Sigma lenses because it can reach 1:2 macro reproduction on film cameras (and greater on some DSLR cameras with smaller sensors). Not all Sigma lenses with this focal range can achieve this.
There is only one point to note on this lens which is the macro switch is a bit stiffer than it should be.
* It will not autofocus on many Nikon DSLR cameras, see below.
This lens will fit all Nikon 35mm film SLR and digital DSLR cameras, but it will not autofocus on some DSLR consumer cameras (see below). Where the autofocus motor is built into the camera body, then this lens will autofocus. Where the camera body uses only AF-S lenses which depend on the autofocus motor being built into the lens, then this lens will not autofocus (but can still be used as a manual focus lens with metering information retained).
It will autofocus on these cameras:-
D50, D70, D70s, D80, D100, D200, D300, D1, D1X, D2Hs, D2x, D2XS, Fuji S1,S2 and S3 F401, F101, F100, F90/90X, F80, F75, F70, F65, F60, F55, F50
It will NOT autofocus on these cameras (but will still provide light metering and can be used as a manual focus lens):-
D40, D40x, D60, D3000, D3100, D3200, D5000, D5100, D5200, D3300, D5300

A note about dust:
Dust is everywhere in the environment, unless one lives in outer space. Occasionally new participants to photography believe that dust in a lens is a fault and question us about it. It is impossible to find a used lens without dust, and even new lenses have some dust. Dust is out of the photographic plane and simply will not affect a photograph. The only dust that will affect a photograph is that on a DSLR camera’s sensor which is in the photographic plane. Indeed, there will be some naturally occuring dust floating in the space between the lens and your camera’s sensor and this will not affect a photograph as it is 'averaged out'.
Dust is only a cosmetic issue and does not affect photographs. For this reason, we do not mention internal dust in a lens unless there is a lot of it, or if there is a large particle.
