About this product

Product Information

Photographers in need of an extremely versatile and quality lens that is also easy to handle prefer the Sony G-Series. This 70 to 300-millimeter f4.5-5.6 G SSM lens is a high-performance product that delivers pristine image quality. The G-Series features advanced technology exclusive to Sony products, such as a Super Silent Wave Motor and high-tech glass elements. This lens impresses even the most demanding photographer. For best results, it even comes with a super fast shutter that eliminates blurry or distorted images. Capture objects that are far away and almost invisible to the naked eye with its focal length of 300 millimeters. The telephoto zoom range extends from 70 millimeters to 300 millimeters, giving you full control over how much contrast a photo has. It is easy and safe to grip in order to prevent any accidents. At around 1.7 pounds in weight, attaching it to a camera won't add a lot of weight, and it will be easy to carry around on long photo shoots. This series of lenses is compatible with all Sony Minolta and Sony Alpha cameras with APS-C and A-mount full-frame sensors. A full-frame sensor allows for a wide view when taking a picture. This Sony camera accessory also comes with an aperture range of f/4.5-5.6. The aperture of this Sony lens is controlled by whichever camera you equip it on. When taking photos, you'll be pleased by the quality ED glass, which helps to increase sharpness and clarity when taking a picture. This glass also helps to reduce chromatic aberration, which can make the fringes of an image appear to be colored incorrectly. Image stabilization is built-in to all cameras compatible with these lenses, which means that the actual lenses avoid the additional weight. With a minimum focal distance of around 4 feet, honing in on close-up shots of nature or people is made easy with this lens. The filter found inside the Sony lens is set to a diameter of 62 millimeters and doesn't need to rotate. This allows for the usage of rotating polarizing filters. You can change the type of focus mode you wish to use with just the flip of a switch, and a hold button for this setting is also included. The Super Sonic Wave Motor found in this 70-300-millimeter lens allows for the autofocus mechanic to remain quick and silent when in use. This particular SSM lens also consists of nine diaphragm blades, which helps to provide a pleasing bokeh effect. This full-frame device consists of a total of 16 elements within 11 groups. This is done as a way of eliminating any possible imperfections with the final image. All of the features present within this Sony G-Series come together to help with any type of photography that you do. The AF mode included with the G-Series can also be assisted by a manual focus ring for a more precise zoom. As lenses that provide amazing picture quality and a bevy of features, these Sony G-Series lenses offer everything a photography enthusiast is looking for.

    Great Lens!

    Small max. aperture but this allows a relatively compact size and low weight, making this a practical carry lens and easy to hand-hold. The viewfinder image is still bright in my A850. Focusing is very fast despite this being the original, not the SSM II, version. The slim barrel extends when zooming which in combination with the incredibly deep lens hood combines to create the deeply unfashionable "drain-pipe" look at the 300mm mark, however this is more than mitigated by excellent image quality at any aperture. Very good build quality. Good Handling. A great combination of practicality and performance for a zoom lens with this range and reach. Recommended.

    Quick shipping, missed some details

    Lens externally is in great visual condition. Upon rotating the focus ring you can tell there is a small granular/gritty sound inside the focus ring itself which is unfortunate and was not stated in the details nor commented on when asked about the operation of the focus ring. When the servo is driving the lens it's not audible otherwise I'd be getting rid of it.

  • Suprising quality in this lens

    I've owned Nikon, Canon, Sigma and Tamron lenses of this zoom range before (Still do in Nikon). This Sony lens exceded my expectations and has produced excetional images on my A77 II. If you're looking for this range to get closer this will perform well but I would expect you'll need some stabilization. It is a bit hefty in weight but worth it.

  • Cannot Find Fault With The Sony 70-300mm A-Mount Lens

    Awsome lens. I was using the Tamron 70-300mm. Not to good. Too much micro focusing and hunting. The Sony doesn't do any of these things.

  • Best in Class

    This lens cannot be bested by any similar zoom. It is sharp throughout its zoom range and at all f stops. The color correction totally eliminates fringing. Although it is only 1:4 in maximum macro capability, its resolution allows very tight crops which result in excellent macro images. Well worth the money if you demand only the very best.

  • Beautiful lens

    This lens was actually new and in the box. Never opened. G SSM so it focuses very quickly. Images are sharp. Very happy with this purchase!

  • Just started using

    Ok, so this is just a quick review and so far I’m impressed with it and feel that I made a right choice to upgrade. My older 70-300 was a basic model, and it did it’s job. So far, this lens has been fast AF and shows really clear images with good lighting. Can’t wait to try it out more today or tomorrow.

  • Great lens for the money

    I bought this because even with the cost of Sony’s LA-EA3 adapter, it was a high quality lens for about half the cost of the FE version. That said, the image quality is great but the focusing speed is only good.

  • love this lens

    I was a little worried about the crack on the lens, but so far so good. if you get this lens for e-mount be sure to get sony adapters, and the new models to help to get more from this lens. I recommend it to save some money. I am happy. thank you

  • First class build and image quality!

    Robust build with superior glass! Image quality is razor-sharp! Kudos to the Sony engineering staff! Currently mated to a Sony A-77 and the camera is a good match for the lens.
