Distinguished from the standard version by its iconic red ring, this \"APO\" (Apochromatic) edition is celebrated for its use of Special Low Dispersion (SLD) glass elements designed to virtually eliminate chromatic aberration. This unit (S\/N: 4004399) features a dedicated macro switch that allows for a 1:2 magnification ratio between the 200mm and 300mm focal lengths. Because it offers a powerful reach combined with high-contrast optical performance, it serves as an incredibly capable tool for wildlife, sports, and detailed nature photography.

What I love about this model is the 'APO' designation; you can really see the difference in the lack of purple fringing around high-contrast edges, like branches against a bright sky. It’s a rugged, honest piece of Japanese engineering that is surprisingly adept at macro work—having that 1:2 magnification at 300mm allows you to stay at a comfortable distance from shy subjects like butterflies. For anyone looking for a sharp, corrected tele-zoom that adds a second dimension of macro photography to their kit, this Sigma is a top-tier choice.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eSigma 70-300mm f\/4-5.6 APO Macro\u003c\/b\u003e Lens (S\/N: 4004399)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,1,0\"\u003eFront Lens Cap\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,2,0\"\u003eRear Lens Cap\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,0,0\"\u003eBrand: \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"7\"\u003eSigma\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,1,0\"\u003eModel: \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"7\"\u003e70-300mm f\/4-5.6 APO Macro\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,2,0\"\u003eLens Type: Telephoto Zoom Lens\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,3,0\"\u003eFocal Length: 70-300mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,4,0\"\u003eMax Aperture: f\/4-5.6\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,5,0\"\u003eMacro Ratio: 1:2 (at 300mm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,6,0\"\u003eCategory: 2.
