I just checked and it's 0.95m (3 ft) minimum for macro and 1.5m (5 ft) for normal. The macro range covers the whole range between 200mm-300mm though.

yeah it must move the internals closer to reduce the minimum focusing distance, which means the minimum distance should normally be 5ft or something, so it's not worth it for me

As true as this all is, it doesn't help someone with an APS-C camera who only knows what lenses look like on his camera. (Which is most beginners now... only a small few have had experience with film...

You are right on the focal length of the lens is the same no matter what camera is is mounted to. The rest is incorrect. The apparent focal length on Nikon APS-C is 1.5x. 50mm is normal for FX and...

Thank you for your input. This seems like a really good deal if you have a need or use for this lens. I like that it has a 450mm zoom with my camera body. Not having VR would make it finicky since I...

I don't have this specific lens, so no experience with it. Reviews on amazon appear to be quite good, and the price also looks good.
However this is a Sigma DG lens which means that it is a full...

Tell me more about this lens please. I have a Nikon D5300 and I'm wondering if this is better than the Nikon 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED VR II AF-S DX Nikkor Lens.
Has this lens been discontinued?
