70 to 350

I bought this as a telephoto mainly for wildlife but at the wide end is good enough for some landscape photography. Another reason for buying this lens was to reduce weight along with the purchase of the a6700 having previously shot with the FUJI X-S20 and the SIGMA 100 to 400 contemporary lens.

Love this lens.

This tiny great-reach lens is incredible. It has fantastic quality and is incredibly sharp. I haven't taken it off my camera since I got it. I absolutely love it and have taken amazing images with it. Honestly, I'm not rich and I bought it on instalment but it's worth every penny.

Better than I could have Hoped For

I took this lens from the store straight to a local park to try out the OSS feature. I'm not a young man and my hands are not as steady as they once were, so to be able to hand hold a 350mm lens and have the photos tack sharp was more than I had hoped for. It feels well made. All adjustments are smooth with just the right amount of tension. It fits well in the hand. The controls fall right where I need them. It was a natural fit from the first. I'm going to be loving this lens.

Great zoom in a light weight package

Fantastic zoom lens. Lightweight with a lot of reach. Actually better in low light situations than I thought it would be not having the widest aperture but good enough for moon photos and excellent for wildlife. Literally does not come off my a6700 as it's soo good. Od you want a light travel friendly zoom lens then this is the one to purchase. Might not have the zoom of the bigger higher end lens' but try carrying them around with you all day without moaning about the weight. I've done a whole shoot trackside at Brands Hatch, walked round my local RSPB without even breaking a sweat. The only zoom lens you really need...and can actually afford

Failed after 2 weeks

Bought this lens 2 weeks ago as I felt the quality would be better than other options. Lens has already failed. Autofocus no longer working, no Aperture number displayed, camera says lens is not recognized. For a premium priced lens from Sony this is very disappointing.

Cracking lens on APSC

After getting the 90mm macro lens I was needing a long zoom to complement it and settled on the 70-350mm. As I am using it with the A6700 APSC it gives a 1.4x magnifying effect which when combined with the clarity and sharpness yields terrific photos of distant objects (planes, birds etc). I'm new to G lenses, so please excuse the gushing praise over the SEL70-210 I used before (but suffered from lens mold).

First lens for my first camera A6700

I like this a lot. Got some deer very early in the morning with low light and they came out really good for me. Did some landscapes on a partly cloudy late morning and the fall colors were really nice.

Excellend Wildlife Lens

I use this with my Sony A6700, great combo in the field. Lightweight lens, fast focusing, lens OSS combined with 6700 5 axis IBIS and subject tracking is ideal for birds floating or flying. Highly recommend!

Excellent quality lens

Haven't been using this lens for long, but the image quality so far has been excellent at both ends of the range. It sits nicely on my a6700 and not front heavy at all, I thought it maybe would have been. The zoom operation is nice and smooth, not loose with any hint of losing the position you set it to when hands off. Very happy to recommend.

Superb results with a6700 even at 350mm

A beautifully engineered lens with superb sharpness allowing me to take landscape and wildlife images that, to me as an amateur are more than acceptable. The attached image taken with this lens has been cropped/edited in Lightroom.

Best Lens I've ever had!

I was reluctant to spend this much on a lens for my a6400 camera but am happy that I did. All functions of this lens have exceeded my expectations. The clarity is Sharp. The OSS works wonders. It is a real joy to use. Thank You Sony for designing it and Thank You China for manufacturing a high quality product. I highly recommend this lens!

Okay lens but not great

I have been using the lens from a week, and have observed issues with clarity and focus at 350mm. Pictures turn out to be soft and not having enough detail. Would recommend it for shorter zoom ranges and still images. When trying to take panning shots of birds or animals most of the time they are out of focus. I'm using it with Sony a6700. If you are serious about long range zoom, sports or wildlife I would suggest sharper and better lens. This lens are good for a beginner or hobbyist.

Only shows blurry out of phase images and Sony sti

I have struggled since this lens was new to get a good image at anything above the minimum zoom level. I even bought a new A6400 BODY AS i though the problem must have been my A5000 not being up to the job. Alas, same issue and I have tried all updates and settings to no avail. My other 2 Sony lenses work perfectly, so it is a manufacturing fault but Sony will not even let me send it to them to be checked - even after online support giving me dozens of things to check and change.

Perfect Camera Companion

The best camera companion I've ever used. It's just perfect lens that has not only the best zoom I exactly need, but also has the ability to produce close range pictures in a magnificent shape and finish. The weight of the lens is excellent and it looks beautiful on the camera body. It's a bargain and a must have.

Great APS-C telephoto

I needed more reach for my A6700 when photographing animals at the Phoenix Zoo. I read the reviews and decided to give it a try. So glad that I bought this lens. Very fast focus and very sharp images. I am going to the Salt River to Photograph Wild Horses in a few weeks. This lens will be on my camera the whole time. Good job Sony

Using on full frame

I am using this on my A7C II in crop mode to get equivalent 525mm. Amazing reach for this price and such a lightweight lens, and I put up with only having 15Mp resolution. Would be ideal on higher Mp full frame cameras. Using full frame there is virtually no vignette at 70mm. Up to 200mm vignette just affects the corners, so much better than APS-C crop. Even beyond that a square crop will avoid most of the vignette up to 300mm.

Superb allround tele objective.

It gives me the extra reach for wildlife and street photography with great sharpnes, colors and dof. Also size and weight are fine for travel photography.

About Sony E 70-350mm f/4.5-6.3

Experience the unparalleled performance of the Sony E 70-350mm f/4.5-6.3 G OSS Lens, a high-quality, durable, and innovative piece of photography equipment. This super-telephoto zoom lens, weighing a mere 22oz (625g), is designed for Sony E-mount cameras and is perfect for capturing stunning sports, wildlife, and portrait photography.

The advanced G Lens optical design includes an aspherical element and three ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements, meticulously engineered to suppress aberration throughout the zoom range. This includes chromatic aberration, a common issue at super-telephoto focal lengths. The result is sharp, clear image quality at all focal lengths, extending right to the image edges.

Three additional ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements work to eliminate axial chromatic aberration and chromatic aberration due to differences in magnification. This maximizes resolution and bokeh, ensuring precisely rendered edges with no fringing or unnatural coloration, while significantly reducing flare and ghosting.

The lens features Sony's advanced XD (extreme Dynamic) linear motor technology, the same type used in G Master series lenses. This technology ensures fast, precise, and quiet autofocus, even on fast-moving subjects. Paired with the advanced real-time AF capability of the latest compact APS-C bodies, this lens offers a high-performance, easy-handling system for a variety of shooting scenarios.

The 7-blade circular aperture contributes to gorgeous bokeh, creating impressive images where the subject stands out against a smoothly defocused foreground and background. This unique design keeps the aperture almost perfectly circular from its wide-open setting to when it is closed by 2 stops, resulting in smoother, more natural defocusing.

The lens also features a focus hold button, programmable for multiple functions, including Eye AF, AF On, Aperture Preview, Shot Result Preview, or Bright Monitoring. This, along with the Linear Response MF, ensures precise manual focus control, equivalent to mechanical manual focus.

The lens is dust and moisture-resistant, making it suitable for heavy-duty outdoor use. It also features built-in Optical SteadyShot image stabilization for sharp, blur-free images, and a zoom lock switch to prevent the lens from extending during transportation. Experience the versatility and reliability of the Sony E 70-350mm f/4.5-6.3 G OSS Lens, a must-have for any serious photographer.
