Optimised for digital photography
The new multi layer lens coating and lens design reduce flare and ghosting, a common problem with digital cameras and also creates an optimum color balance through the entire zoom range.

2pcs Special Low Dispersion (SLD) glass elements and 4pcs Aspherical Lenses, produce a high level of optical performance
The 28-300mm F3.5-6.3 DG MACRO lens features 2 Special Low Dispersion (SLD) glass elements and 4 Aspherical lenses to produce a high level of optical performance. Aspherical lenses provide excellent correction for all types of aberration while making a very compact construction possible.

Macro photography with a 1:3 maximum magnification ratio
The 28-300mm F3.5-6.3 DG MACRO lens has a minimum focusing distance of 50cm at all focal lengths and is equipped with a macro mechanism for close-up photography at 300mm telephoto. This allows for a reproduction ratio of 1:3.

Inner Focus System
This design allows for stability and compactness as changes in focus are made in an internal lens grouping. This also gives the advantage of a non rotating front lens assembly which is of great benefit when using polarizing filters and a petal-type hood.

The "Zoom Lock" device prevents the zoom setting from being changed inadvertently
28-300mm F3.5-6.3 DG MACRO lens is equipped with a zoom lock to prevent the lens from creeping due to its own weight. This also offers protection whilst the lens is being carried.

Ephotozine - July 2006
‘At the wide end of the lens the performance for a lens of this nature can’t be faulted. Resolution is good and chromatic aberration is well controlled across the frame. Having had extensive experience of the pre-DG coating model of this optic, the coating has again impressed with it’s improvement in contrast and general picture quality.’

 
Digital Camera Shopper - April 2007
‘The lens is well stocked with aspherical elements, numbering four in total, and there’s also the inclusion of two of those low-dispersion SLD elements in the design.’ ‘Both the contrast and colour performance were quite good and levels of distortion were impressively low throughout.’
   
Photography Monthly - July 2007
‘Considering the compromises that have to be made in a lens with a near 11x zoom ratio, this lens does fairly well for itself in many areas. For instance distortion is only just visible at the short end and can’t be seen with the eye at the long end. At the wide end of the lens resolution is good and chromatic aberration is well controlled across the frame.’
