Sony FE 300mm f/2.8 

Explore the Sony FE 300mm f/2.8 GM OSS Lens. Unrivaled image quality, fast autofocus, and image stabilization. Shop now for stunning telephoto shots!

Enhance your photography experience with the FE 300mm f/2.8 GM OSS Lens, the lightest large-aperture telephoto lens in its class. Weighing a mere 51.9 oz. (excluding tripod mount), this lens delivers exceptional optical performance and ultra-fast, precise autofocus (AF). Its design ensures optimal balance, facilitating agile lens movement and smooth panning for handheld shooting.Experience the breathtaking G Master image quality extending to the edges of the frame, thanks to an innovative optical design featuring three Super ED (extra-low dispersion) and one ED glass elements. These elements effectively reduce axial and lateral chromatic aberration, maintaining outstanding resolution and contrast even at the image edges. This feature also provides greater flexibility for cropping and editing.The lens boasts extraordinary resolution and bokeh, allowing you to use a narrow depth of field to make subjects stand out against the background. Each lens is individually calibrated during manufacture to optimize bokeh quality, with an 11-blade circular aperture mechanism contributing to smooth, rounded bokeh.Capture dynamic sports action or fast-moving wildlife scenes with ease, as the lens maximizes the speed potential of high-performance cameras. Two high thrust XD (extreme dynamic) Linear Motors and an advanced control algorithm ensure fast response, while AF tracking speed and precision are maintained even during continuous bursts.The lens features Optical SteadyShot stabilization for sharp handheld telephoto images, with MODE 2 offering ideal stabilization for panned shots and MODE 3 providing enhanced stabilization for dynamic, unpredictable sports action.Sony's original Nano AR Coating II minimizes flare and ghosting in challenging lighting, while the function ring provides direct access to power focus or frame size selection. The lens also supports Full-time Direct Manual Focus (DMF) to access manual focus while in autofocus mode.Customizable focus hold buttons are provided in four locations for easy access when shooting in any orientation. The focus range limiter switch allows the autofocus range to be set from 6 meters to infinity, or allow full range AF with no limit.The FE 300mm f/2.8 GM OSS Lens supports standard 40.5 mm diameter drop-in ND and other filters as well as Sony's own VF-DCPL1 circular polarizer. It also offers high AF tracking performance with 1.4x and 2.0x teleconverters.Designed for robust reliability, the lens is dust and moisture resistant, with a durable magnesium alloy used for internal components. The front lens element features a fluorine coating that repels water, oil, and other contaminants, while making it easier to wipe off any contaminants or fingerprints that do become attached to the lens surface.The lens comes with an ALC-SH175 lens hood and a padded soft case for protection against vibration. A lens strap is also included.

Excellent lens, coupled with the resolving power of the A1 Mk2. This is a walk around all day lens very light unlike the 400mm or 600mm primes I find autofocus and lock on speed exceptionally good and in my case used without the 1.4x or 2x TC although I've seen good results I'll probably get the 1.4x

Birding? It's a must purchase.

Took my lens for a University sports day and it nails it every time. Pairing it with the a9iii? it is insane. And for animals it's feather counting sharp.

Great Lens

I use this lens mainly with the 2X converter. It's light and great to use in the field, and whether used on it's own, or with either the 1.4X or the 2X converter the results are brilliant.

Fantastic lens

Sharpness is superior on this lens. Fast focusing and combined with the 1.4 teleconverter its perfect for a wide variety of photographic needs. I already own the 100-400 gm as well. Now i have a converter for that lense as well. Im loving it. Well worth the money.

It was the Missing link

This thing is a beast and I use it for sports, Soccer, Football, LaCrosse and from the outfield for softball. You need to be in a place, when action comes st you, many times it gets too close but when you are properly distant, it's a wicked lens. I use it for individual portraits as well, but you need to be back of course.

Excellent Lens

This is the best lens i have bought to date,so user friendly.light weight and a fantastic piece of engineering,It does work excellently well with both teleconverters especially the x2,i'm using it hand held with this converter for birds in flight and i'm getting instant lock on and tracking,The lens is so fast it's unreal,and the picture quality is sharp corner to corner,,at 2.8 the images are very sharp with excellent seperation and a lovely bokeh,,,well done Sony this will take some beating.

Stunning Piece Of Kit

It's as good as everyone says! So compact and light and when used with either the 1.4x of 2.0x extenders the results are remarkable!

Great Purchase

Bought this for my nature and wildlife photography.Absolute superb images from a world class lens.When paired with the 2x teleconverter gives that extra reach without loss of quality.Weight and balance also invaluable for use in the field without the need for a monopod.One word Stunning!

Superb image quality

I bought this new about a month ago and all I can say is wow!! Sharp, sharp?.SHARP! There is absolutely no drop off when using either the 1.4 or 2.0 teleconverters.
Glad I have this in my arsenal now.

Unbelievable!!

They really got everything right on this one. A weight and balance you can carry all day, stellar sharpness, and terrific AF response and sharpness even with teleconverters. This is the whole package for someone who wants outstanding quality in a wildlife package that doesn't require a tripod or body building.  An absolute joy.

I started bird photography 20 years ago with a 300/F4 plus 1.4x converter (420mm/5.6) as my favorite on a crop sensor.  It was sharp and I didn't hesitate to carry it on long hikes. After decades of 10 pound primes and 5 pound zooms, which kept me from straying to far from the truck, I'm back to a 300, but now at F/2.8, which with a 2X converter opens a high quality 600mm/5.6 option that performs better for me than the 200-600 ever did at half the weight. 

Slightly better and a stop faster at 420mm/F4, (1.4x) than the FE 100-400 GM at 400 and better and slightly faster than 200-600 at 600 (2x). And then there is 300mm/2.8 for shots under a dark forest canopy without the12,800 ISO I found too often using the zooms at wildlife shutter speeds. With the cropping room on the A1 and A7R5, the fast, razor-sharp 300mm is still extremely useful for wildlife. 

The only issue is price, which is more than the two long zooms combined, but selling one or both will ease the pain.

Most perfect birding glass I've used for the wild

I always use my Nikon Afs 328 to take portrait and sports. But I need to put it on the monopod due to the heavy weight. Now I can handheld the Sony 328 with minimum effort. This light weight is unbelievable in before. Hope that Sony can introduce more fantastic lens that are same technology breakthrough.

Dream come true

This lens is as light as a feather. Using it all day handheld is a dream and the use with which I can assign a button to ASP-C and get that extra reach, it just makes the experience all the more complete.

I cannot believe this is a 300!

I've had the lens for about three weeks,and super happy,I photograph birds,with the 1.4 and 2 x it's very flexible,with my 600 f4 I've a perfect combination.

Excellent and light

I purchased the Sony 300mm F2.8 from B&H about a month ago. This is a super tack sharp lens, practically instant focus speeds and the Bokeh is amazing. The photo's that come from this lens is better than all the other Sony lens I use including the Sony 135mm, Sony 50mm F1.2, Sony 24mm, 35mm, 100-400mm etc. It is a dream to own one of these and I am so glad I purchased it.

What a Fantastic 300mm lens

Super fast focus. Incredibly light weight. Sharpest 300mm f2.8 I have ever owned. The lens cover bulky and is a challenge to work with. I ultimately had to seek out a 3rd part lens cap. Still no Arca Swiss type grooves on these Sony tripod feet. The only attachment point for a strap is on the tripod foot. The foot is removable, but I can't see any situation you would take it off, due to it being the only attachment point for a strap. If Sony comes up with a better lens cover and adds the Arca groves to the foot, it gets 5 stars.

Best 300 I've owned

I have owned this lens for about a month, and I use it primarily for bird photography with and without converters, it is very light and easily hand holdable and it produces superb images coupled with the A1.

Super light weight tele

Super quick, super lightweight and super sharp, the perfect combination making for an outstanding lens. Unfortunately it's super expensive too but this kind of quality doesn't come cheap and rightly so.

Refined to perfection.

This is my first high end prime lens and I wasn't sure what to expect.

This is much lighter and smaller than the 400mm I had tried at a demo day. 

I did a whole 90 Minute football match hand holding and had no issues with the weight at all.

The image quality is excellent- very sharp when paired with a Sony a1 despite the less than ideal weather conditions on my first trip out.

Has a function ring which can be assigned to the crop option which I found very handy.

Usual GM lens buttons and options otherwise.

I hadn't realised that large primes don't come with a lens cap, but a lens hood- I think given this lens is so small a lens cap might have actually been a good idea.

I can't fault the lens and look forward to creating many happy memories with it.
