Comments about Sony Sony 70 - 300mm f/4.5 - 5.6 Telephoto Digital SLR 0.25x Zoom Lens with Super Sonic Wave Motor:

This lens is expensive just over 800 dollars though at first was leary about it for the price.I have to say I never put this lens down it is a great portrait ,and Macro and wildlife lens and talk about sharp.It makes a regular 70-300 Sony lens seem like garbage and I was happy with the regular lens All I can say is if it says a G lens you have nothing to worry about this is a sharp lens at 70-300 no softness at any setting.All I can say is I would of bought sooner if I knew it was this great..

Comments about Sony Sony 70 - 300mm f/4.5 - 5.6 Telephoto Digital SLR 0.25x Zoom Lens with Super Sonic Wave Motor:

This is the perfect lens for photogrpahing birds on the wing. 300mm is not so long that you have a hard time finding the moving target. The fast focus allows you take a crystal clear shot instead of losing the bird waiting for the lens to focus.

While I use my 500mm lens (Sony Reflex)for slower bird photography this lens has become my standard for birds on the fly.
