Although this lens is no longer in production it is quite useful as a `walk around lens' for any Nikon AF camera (except those requiring motorized lenses). It uses Ø55mm filters, among the lowest price category that you can find. The macro function is useful but for really close work a set of Ø55mm close up lenses is necessary. For a few years Sigma also made this lens for Ritz/Wolf Camera stores who sold it as their private label Quantaray brand.
The Sigma 28-80mm (Minolta mt) is one of my favorites. It is handy- truly a carry-on lens. It's all around, and available for the roughest settings and conditions. One does not need to worry about the quality of images because it shoots sharply (within known technical limits as amateur photogs should be aware of :P). It produces better colors than modern equivalents (Sony or Nikkors), and most importantly, it's way cheaper. All this qualities make it a recommended lens and a perfect addition to anyone's collection.
Excellent value for what I paid, about 12 dollars.Smooth AF and Great Macro shots and above average pictures at other focal lengths, as good as or slightly better than the kit lens. A good buy and definitely worth it.
You can't go wrong with this lens. You get a higher quality lens then the lit lenses that come with D50, D70 and D70s. Great MACRO feature.
A decemt walking around every day lens, not the highest quality glass but it has a nice range and an included Macro setting that does a pretty decent job. I have two versions of this lens, one with a plastic mount and one with a metal mount, I recommend the metal mount.
