Sigma 28-80 macro

[90 5.0]

I bought this lens in the Nikon mount for 17.00's on e-bay, in like new condition with the box. I definitely got my moneys worth.

It's an af-d style lens but the short focal range leads to quick focusing on my D80. Locks in to a vary usable macro mode at 80mm only unfortunately all other focal lengths do not have macro focusing ability. It's light, small and takes 55mm filters. Works very well on a cropped body on film cameras and on a a D700 it has vignetted noticeably , vig. control on D700 takes care of this to some degree.

First 3 photos taken with Nikon D80
