This review is from: Sigma 70-300mm F4-5.6 APO Macro Super Lens for Nikon-AF Camera (Electronics)

I've gotten some super honeybee shots, and frame-filling portraits. Resolution couldn't be better, fully equal to the Nikkor or any fixed focal length lens in this range (as far as I can judge.) Light and relatively short, it's convenient to carry. Pair this with a good short zoom, and you're set.
