The latest lens technology and extra-low dispersion glass meet in this Sony 70-300mm f/4-5.6 lens. At the top of its range, it brings in animals and minute features into absolute focus so that you can stand off so as to not disturb the action, and at the lower end, you can take portraits or get in close to create avariety of effects. This telephoto lens includes SteadyShot technology, which stabilizes the lens and accounts and compensates for subtle movements of your hand so that you get blur-free images even under lower light conditions.
In addition, this Sony 70-300mm f/4-5.6 lens has a number of glass coatings and aspherical lens elements to reduce chromatic aberration, fringing and distortion caused by a variety of effects so that you get outstanding images each time. It also suppresses reflections to eliminate flare and ghosting, reducing these effects for breathtaking stills. Contrast and clarity are also improved. A nine-blade circular aperture on this E-mount lens produces a beautiful defocused background that features smooth roundels. And because this Sony 70-300mm f/4-5.6 lens is made with a metal barrel and sealed buttons and rings, it's extremely reliable and rugged, making it ideal for taking with you everywhere you go.
Sony FE 70-300mm F4.5 - 5.6 G OSS Telephoto Zoom Lens
Sony's longest reaching E-mount lens to date, the new FE 70-300mm F4.5 - 5.6 G OSS telephoto zoom lens (model SEL70300G) features a state-of-the-art optical design including four aspherical glass elements, two ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements and Sony's Nano AR coating, which all work together to effectively suppress spherical aberration, distortion, and chromatic aberration. This ensures beautiful high-resolution results for both still and video shooting.
The new 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.
The versatile zoom lens includes built-in Optical SteadyShot image stabilization that helps to reduce camera shake, making it easier to capture clear images when shooting handheld. Additionally, the new SEL70300G model has a linear actuator that allows it to achieve fast, smooth and quiet autofocus and is also dust and moisture resistant to ensure reliable operation in harsh outdoor conditions.
