Sigma 120-300mm APO and DG? what's the difference?

Cezare · 14 Jan 2009

Hi all.

I just been reading up on the Sigma 120-300mm F2.8
and checking over the manufacture site http://www.sigma-imaging-uk.com/lenses/telezoom/120-300mm.htm

there was two versions of this? correct?

is there a noticeable difference between the two? which is best?

The DG just denotes an anti-reflection coating that Sigma added for use with DSLRs. Other than that im sure they're the same.

Indeed. And they are both APO. All the new ones will have the DG designation.
