About this lens
The Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 is a long-running consumer tele-zoom for Nikon F DSLRs. A simple, affordable long-reach option covering 70-300mm with screw-drive AF (requires a Nikon body with built-in autofocus motor). Older Sigma generations of this lens predate the DG (full-frame optimised) and integrated motor updates.

Works with
- Nikon F-mount full-frame DSLRs with built-in AF motor (D750, D780, D810, D850, D6 and older pro bodies)
- Nikon F-mount APS-C DSLRs with AF motor (D500, D7x00 series)
- Nikon Z mirrorless via FTZ/FTZ II adapter - manual focus only
- Not autofocusing on entry-level Nikons (D3xxx / D5xxx) - no in-body AF motor
Best for
A simple consumer telephoto zoom for occasional long-reach use - wildlife, sports, distant events. Macro mode at the long end gives useful close-focus capability. Uses screw-drive AF, so won't autofocus on entry-level Nikon DSLRs without a built-in AF motor.
Frequently asked questions
Will it autofocus on entry-level Nikon DSLRs (D3xxx / D5xxx)?
No. This is a screw-drive AF lens and entry-level Nikon DSLRs don't have a built-in autofocus motor, so you'd be stuck with manual focus.
Does this lens have image stabilisation?
No — this lens does not have image stabilisation.
