Lightweight and very sharp

This 300 with the 1.4 or 2.0 is very sharp! Not sure I need to keep my 400 2.8. great for walking around without a monopod or tripod.

A wonderful wild life lens.

A wonderful wild life lens! I have been using for about a year and half along with the 2X converter when I think I need it. The more I use it the more I like it. I'm very pleased with the photos I have taken with this lens. Built like a tank yet provides elegant controls and features.

5 STARS ACROSS THE BOARD!

I purchased this lens for my A700 about 2 months ago. Although I have only used it on a couple of outings, I have been completely impressed from the start. The focus speed is blazing fast and accurate and the clarity is stunning. I have included a couple of images taken this week.

best 300mm

i have been testing this lens almost a week and compared the minolta 300mm HS APO. The quality of the sony is very uniform and consistence ,even when the aperture is at wide open f2.8,so this is why you have to pay more that is why this lens is not cheap and may be sony can made it one of the best ,however sony should lower down the price,so everybody can enjoy it

For definitive long-shot precision and spectacular portraits even in low light, this professional G-Series lens from Sony raises the standard of DLSR performance. Its 35mm-equivalent 450mm focal length and ultra-bright f2.8 aperture combine for superb results in virtually any light - and its high-speed SSM (Super Sonic wave Motor) auto-focus is fast, accurate and quiet.

Sony 300mm f/2.8 GII-Series Alpha Mount Digital SLR Telephoto Lens Features

  • SSM (Super Sonic wave Motor): A built-in lens motor for faster automatic focusing with high torque at low speed, quick start/stop response, and quiet, smooth operation.
  • ED (Extra-low Dispersion) Glass: Three precision ED Glass lenses correct chromatic aberrations to provide extremely sharp telephoto images distant subjects as well as dramatic sports close-ups.
  • Internal Focusing System: Internal lens elements move, so the overall length does not change
  • 2 DMF (Direct Manual Focus) Modes: Allow you to quickly revert to manual focus by just turning the manual focus ring of the lens.
  • Versatile Focus Hold: Four focus hold buttons in different lens locations, plus electronic slider focus range selector switch.
  • Lightweight Design: A strong, light magnesium lens barrel makes shooting more comfortable even on long wildlife or sports assignments.
