Default New Sigma Lens

I have now bought the SIGMA AF.MF ZOOM LENS
F4-5.6 DG MACRO Have tried it out and am pleased with it though the birds were all in the tops of the highest trees today hiding from me.
Am still thinking about the mini-trekker backpack

Yes, Thank you Babs
Oh I didn't know your's is a Sigma. I also bought a teleplus converter lens a bout a year ago and it didn't work well at all with my ordinary Nikor lens But I notice it's a DG and it works very well indeed with the Sigma which also is DG
