This is a telephoto zoom lens with excellent cost performance. It is capable of macro photography with a 1:2 maximum close-up magnification at the 300 mm focal length. It's the ideal high performance lens for portraits, sports photography, nature photography, and other types of photography that frequently use the telephoto range.SIGMA used SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass in this lens for excellent correction of chromatic aberration. Also, SIGMA effectively corrected for fluctuation of aberration due to focusing.It is capable of macro photography with a 1:2 maximum close-up magnification at the 300mm focal length. The minimum focusing distance is 1.5 m/59 inches at all zoom settings. It also has a switch for changeover to macro photography at focal lengths between 200mm and 300mm with a maximum close-up magnification from 1:2.9 to 1:2. Without changing the distance between camera and subject, you can change the shooting magnification.

Conclusion: For the price - nothing can beat this lens
Review: Got this lens from Amazon about 3 months ago. Nothing can beat this lens in this price range. Very good macro, photos up to 200mm look great, reaching 300mm get softer. Great construction, very solid feel, a bit heavy, but I like it.

Conclusion: I like it
Review: This lens rocks. Granted i have to shoot on tripod when i use it. its pretty sharp. the focus is a little on the slow side and not very accurate to what you want in focus, but M focus works just fine. shooting macro is awesome i dig it. and its nice to be able to shoot animals with out scaring them away.

Conclusion: Wow!
Review: I wasn't expecting too much, given the price, but the first shot I took, at the farthest zoom on a cloudy day- handheld- was perfect. The focus is a little soft, which I like, and the zoom ring is a little sticky, but-

Conclusion: not a bad lens
Review: I purchased the Sigma 70-300mm with some reservations but hoping for the best. I carefully read all the reviews I could find and finally decided that, for the price, it would be worth the risk. I am quite pleased with the performance of this lightweight lens! I took it to a soccer game hoping to get a few good shots. While I was not completely pleased with the close-ups (this can be fixed with a 2x), the clarity and sharpness of the pictures are remarkable. This lens can compete with other professional lenses easily. It is quick, easy to use, and definitely an excellent buy. Nice job, Sigma - I'll be looking at other products from this company!
