APO DG Macro Lens

[Chocky]

I bought a new lens with some Christmas money and savings
Here is how it works

Lens for Nikon D series digital SLR cameras70-300 mm F4-5.6 APO DG Macro Motorized Tele-zoom

This 70-300 mm lens is ideal for taking high quality photos over your camera's focal range.

This lens has three special low dispersion glass elements - two at the front and one at the rear - which reduce chromatic aberrations on long focal distances and create maximum colour balance over the entire range

New lens.
My APO Macro has failed and hopefully will be repaired under the warranty if it is a fault

Mean while I have bought this latest model of th Tamron Macro lens. Which will tide me over and also be handy should the APO lens go wrong in the future
