I dunno about the 70-300G but I do know that the 70-300 AF-D ED could yield a pretty decent Macro image with diopters like the 5T and 6T.

No, cannot.

Dun bother... with f5.6 at 300mm (closest range is 1.5 metres) You probably can reduce the distance using a close-up filter but image quality wise, I dun think you will like it.

thats why I sold mine and got the sigma one with the macro function.

Slightly better but stilll not good T_T

Yes,

get a proper macro lens if you really need to take macro shots. 60mm or 105, both are good lenses. On the cheap, you can consider the 90mm Tamron.

Alternatively if you need a lens for still life macro,ou can consider reverse-mounting a 50mm.

Cheers,

If you are 3Sg and above, guess, you can afford a Tamron 90 within 1 to 2 months.

reverse mount a 50mm in front of the 70-300 will solve the problem.

[scandisk]

hmmm...a 50mm plus a uniplus 25mm extension tube maybe...at k-13 peninsula selling the older model tokina 100mm f/3.5 macro for $268 with warranty...

105 f/2.8 AF-S VR Don't take others.

70-300 G definitely cannot take marco. It's minimum focusing distance is 1.5m. So even at 300mm, it's still not good enough. Besides, at 300mm, it's only f5.6 at best. Shutter speed is going to be slow... Hand-holding it to take marco shots, it's going to be really tough.

Think of it as you zoom in all the way to get the image fully in the frame, it's not a real macro, but the length can help.

Like above.

I own Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 APO MACRO DG, which is 1/2 magnification ratio (1:2). IMHO, 1/3.9 still can be use for flower macro. Or butterfly/dragonfly, but maybe later you need to crop it.
