Sony FE 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 G OSS E-Mount Telephoto Zoom Lens

The Sony FE 70-300mm G OSS E-Mount Telephoto Zoom Lens is ideal for shooting subjects from a distance. Its telephoto capabilities make it an ideal lens for nature photography, sports photography, astrophotography and any situation in which you need to capture images of a subject that is far away. It is compatible with any Sony E-Mount camera. While it is specifically made for full-frame cameras, it can be used with APS-C cropped sensor cameras at an equivalent focal length of 105-450mm.

Image Stabilization and Autofocus

Camera shake is no longer an issue with Optical SteadyShot (OSS) image stabilization in the Sony FE 70-300mm G telephoto zoom lens. Internal sensors detect movement and adjust the lens in order to create the clearest images with the least amount of blur due to camera shake during handheld use. This is especially useful during telephoto, close-up and low-light situations, in which blur from camera shake is most likely to occur. Image stabilization can be turned on and off through the convenient use of a switch on the lens itself. This image stabilization combined with a quiet and responsive autofocus feature make for superior video shooting as well as capturing still images.

Glass Elements Minimize Distortion

This versatile lens clearly captures images at a distance with minimal distortion. The technologically-advanced optical design features four aspherical and two extra-low dispersion (ED) glass elements. These elements paired with a Nano anti-reflective coating ensure that your photos have minimal spherical aberration, distortion and chromatic aberration. The anti-reflective coating also works to minimize the appearance of flares and ghosting in your images.

Nano Coating

Sony’s original Nano Coating technology produces a lens coating that features a precisely defined regular nano-structure that allows accurate light transmission while effectively suppressing reflections that can cause flare and ghosting. The reflection suppression characteristics of the Nano Coating are superior to conventional anti-reflective coatings, including coatings that use an irregular nano-structure, providing a notable improvement in clarity, contrast, and overall image quality.

Tele-Macro Photography

The SEL70300G telephoto zoom lens also features class-leading close-up performance, with a minimum focusing distance of less than 3 feet (0.9m) and a maximum magnification of 0.31x, making it an ideal choice for tele-macro photography. This outstanding close-up performance also factors into the lens’ excellent corner-to-corner sharpness

Nine-Blade Circular Aperture

An aperture range of f/4.5 to f/29 provides superior control of the depth of field in your photos. The circular nine-blade diaphragm also provides a more natural blurring effect in shorter depth of field images. It also allows for a desirable bokeh effect in which light sources in the background are blurred in short depth of field photos in a way that is pleasing to the eye.

Durable Construction

The solid construction of this Sony FE 70-300mm E-Mount telephoto zoom lens ensures that you will be shooting crisp and clear images for a long time. It features a metal barrel exterior with sealed buttons and rings to protect the interior from dust, dirt and moisture.

Sony FE 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 G OSS E-Mount Telephoto Zoom Lens

Sony FE 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 G OSS E-Mount Telephoto Zoom Lens SKU: SEL70300G

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Solid All-around lens I am somewhat of a beginner photographer, and it is absolutely overwhelming when you first start looking at expanding your lens collection. After consulting with a few friends/mentors, I decided to go with this particular lens, in addition to a couple of Prime lenses. This is a fantastic addition, and is something that can be used in a variety of different scenarios. Highly recommend.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect balance of size and performance! I have used this with an a7r2 and a7r4, and shoot mostly flowers, birds, and other wildlife, along with some portraits and landscapes, always hand held. When I get the focus right, I have been amazed at how sharp this lens can be, even centers at 300mm. Much lighter and easier to manage than Sony's other telephoto choices, it is truly a perfect balance of size and performance for me.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Ouch - Sharp! Lens is very sharp, results so far have been better than expected. Focus not as quick as I would have liked, however, if you are shooting in good light, the results are super sharp. Very happy so far.
