    Default APO DG Macro Lens

    I bought a new lens with some Christmas money and savings
    Here is how it works

    Lens for Nikon D series digital SLR cameras70-300 mm F4-5.6 APO DG Macro Motorized Tele-zoom

    This 70-300 mm lens is ideal for taking high quality photos over your camera's focal range.

    This lens has three special low dispersion glass elements - two at the front and one at the rear - which reduce chromatic aberrations on long focal distances and create maximum colour balance over the entire range

    The equipment I use is a Canon 30D with Sigma 50-500mm lens. I also have a garden hide from which I take most of my pictures.
