AF 70-300mm F/4-5.6 LD Macro
This super-telephoto lens with a high zoom ratio covers a wide range of 4.3x yet is only 115.5mm (4.5in). A steady and firm zooming mechanism with superb endurance reduces instability of the cam barrels, resulting in high picture quality throughout the range. The lens is ideal for capturing truly candid shots at 70mm or taking close-up photos of wild birds or animals while remaining at a non-intrusive distance at the 300mm super-telephoto end. A minimum focusing distance of 1.5m (59in) and a maximum magnification of 1:3.8 are powerful enough for good tele-macro photography of flowers and insects.
