    Camera Lens Deal: Sigma 28-200 Super Micro

    Whether it’s around town, on a hike, or just a day at the beach, one of my favorite things to do is take my camera and go shooting.  Pretending I’m a tourist allows me the freedom to appreciate the mundane things I drive by without noticing on a typical day.  In general, photography as a hobby can get expensive quickly but with most everything digital now, you can set up a decent home shop with a good camera, a few lenses and a quality printer.

    Changing your perspective is the easiest thing to do and it opens up a whole new world.  So now that you’ve gotten familiar with shooting below and above your subject with a standard lens, it might be time to up the game a bit.  Check Smarter.com for discount camera lenses that match your equipment, like the Sigma 28-200 DG Super Macro Lens for full-frame Digital SLR Cameras ($168.90).

    It works with Sony & Minolta AF mounts and covers the frequently used focal length range (28mm wide angle to 200mm telephoto).  Its compact size is well-suited for photogs while traveling on vacation or walking through nature.

    Flare and ghosting are reduced through its digitally optimized ultra telephoto lens.  The lens is equipped with a new multi-layer coating technology that not only reduces that annoying flare, it also provides an accurate color balance and hi-def shot.

    If you haven’t tried macro photography yet, this user friendly lens could help you get started.  At the 200mm telephoto setting, it has a 1:3.8 maximum magnification.  This brings you up close in order to capture the details of your subject, like the veins in that wildflower’s petals or a butterfly’s wings.  Minimum focusing distance is 48cm at all zoom settings and the magnification scale is helpfully shown on the lens barrel.

    Get it at AbesofMaine.com and save $10 off $75 purchase, use code FRIEND10 and get a free 4 gigabyte flash drive on $150 or more with CRUZER4GB.
