Top Rated Gear: Used Sony FE 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 G OSS E-Mount NEX Camera Lens undefined

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.

Used Sony FE 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 G OSS E-Mount NEX Camera Lens undefined

This is so well built! Image quality great. The weight for me was too much at 77. I was so disappointed. I really thought I could handle it. I don't believe anyone would be disappointed

Sad I Had To Return

I bought this lens just before christmas, to use with my a7rlll, which has built in digital zoom, l looked at other lens, l have found it ideal for my wildlife photography, not too big and clumbsy but using the camers digital zoom l am able to reach the wildlife with a more pracktical sized lens

Great definition

Bought just over a month ago, used a few times, such a great Lens. AF is quick and accurate and the lens build quality is second to none!!

Great all rounder

I purchased my Sony a7 iv with a 24 -> 70 mm, which is the bread and butter, but was lacking a lens that would grab those images a bit further away. I toyed up the Sony 70 -> 200 and the 70 -> 300. I opted for the 70-300 for the extra reach, which is not vast, but it gives me that extra for a wide variety of applications.
I am very pleased with the G Lens, at a price I could justify. I am very happy with it. I have used it for a variety of Astro, Landscape and Nature and cannot fault it.

If you want the extra reach, I would recommend it. Size and weight wise, very similar to the 24-70 G.

Great Lens

I got this lens to take away on holiday where I didn't want to take my GM 100-400 or my G200-600. The idea was to have a lens that was as close as possible to an all-round lens. A lens for landscape, buildings, wild life if the opportunity came up and any thing else. Has it done this? Well the wild life side yes and the rest is yet to be put to the test. 
I like the ability to lock the lens at 70mm for transport and the feel of the lens is comfortable. What I would have liked is a tripod foot as the lens is a fair weight and I don't want to stress the body of the camera. I have solved this with an aftermarket tripod collar, which means its completely removable. 
That's it for now once back from the trip I may update this review giving an idea of how the lens performed and may be add an image or two. We'll see.

A great mid range zoom

I love the quality of the photographs this lens provides.

Sony FE70-300 G lens

Tripod a must.

Nice lens that covers a log range.  It's great for pulling in images of wild animals.

great lens for the money

I wanted a zoom lens for wildlife photography and this does not disappoint, brilliant lens especially on MF mode!

Great zoom lens!

Depending on how close I can get to the subjects this is a very good lens.

Good to have mid range.

Bought for personal photography use. It ticks all the boxes.

Love this product. Accurate and quality

this lens has taken my photography to the next level. One word awesome here?s some samples.

Amazing Lens

Bought A7iii body and lens in March registered products and awaited voucher for next lens (still waiting) ended up buying this lens without the benefit of the voucher. This was reported through the dealer who was very helpful and Sony sent out a voucher code which turned out to be invalid. In the end I bought the lens and am very happy with the camera and both lenses but not at all with Sony. Will wait to see if the cash back comes from the second lens. Fingers crossed

Great lens very poor administration from Sony

I have used this with an a7r2 and a7r4, and shoot mostly flowers, birds, and other wildlife, along with some portraits and landscapes, always hand held. When I get the focus right, I have been amazed at how sharp this lens can be, even centers at 300mm. Much lighter and easier to manage than Sony's other telephoto choices, it is truly a perfect balance of size and performance for me.

Perfect balance of size and performance!

I have had this lens for a little over a year and enjoy it's almost my 1st choice in any scenario. I want to find out if I bought 300 mm or 400 mm lens which should I get and why one over what im using now.

Brooks Review

I bought this lens after comparing with a similar product from a competitor at the store and end up buying Sony because the color is better in comparison and the build quality is more solid.
After using it for a bit, I also noticed the performance of the stability is excellent at maximum zoom.

Great perfromance

This lens is fast, sharp, and light. On my A7RII it handles both the massive full-frame resolution and the ultra-sharp cropped-frame function.

Sharp, light, and fast.

Very satisfied with the purchase. Awesome, one day delivery. I love the weight of the lense. Not better price!

Awesome Product! Awesome delivery!

I have updated from the Canon 5D mk 3plus a few L Series Lens

Ideal lens for my needs

I bought this lens a few months ago and really love the reach and detail.

Great reach

I bought this a few weeks ago and I'm glad I did, I'm using this lens with A7M2,optical quality is amazing also build quality is fantastic!Sony you didn't disappointed me again !

Sony quality!

I bought this lens just over 2 months ago and have used it frequently to photograph wildlife in the garden and locally, it has exceeded expectations

I enjoy using this product

whenever I invest in a new lens I worry that I will get sufficient use to warrant the cost. However, this lens is proving to be a sound investment as it is light enough to have in my bag whenever I travel or go hiking - ie with my 24-70 on the camera.
I also use it weekly for sporting and wildlife trips out.
So far, I’ve been impressed with sharpness and ease of focusing throughout its range. 
Here’s 3 examples:

Extremely versatile lens

Amazing lens!

So far I am returning my 2nd bad copy of this lens. Hopefully 3rd time is a charm

Bad Copies

bought this zoom to have a nice reach on wildlife during hiking while maintaining a compact form in my backpack or on a strap with the lock on . focus is fast and images are great.  I think this lens and a 16-35 covers all I need for nature photography. image quality,  the 70-200 F/4  produces crispier images bu lacks in reach.

Great zoom for travel with a full frame mirrorless sony

I have had the lens for one month and found it to be good quality and well made there are for me some handling issues.

Difficult to use.

Brought this about a month ago - wanted that extra bit of reach for landscapes, and the small amount of sports photography I do for my baseball team. Considered the 70-200 F4 but couldn't justify the extra expense, bulk and weight when I don't really need the constant F4 aperture. Used it a few times and it's performed well, you get good sharpness up to 200mm, a little soft towards 300mm (and the one time I've shot distant city lights at blue hour) but overall I'm happy. Did well on my A7iii when I shot some baseball, was able to use a fast shutter speed and ISO 500-1000 dependent on light to freeze the action. Clearly anyone looking for a specialist sports lens would consider one of the other options Sony offer but I was really pleased with the results.

Couple of cons - not sure how well sealed it is, worried it may have sucked in a little dust / grit already. Also wish it came with a tripod collar, it's a big heavy lens and very long when extended, hope it'll last on the A7iii mount.

Won't carry it with me on every shoot but glad I have it.

Does the job well

Perfect for my style and use. Sports and action, a little wildlife and landscapes. The lens is acceptably sharp at all focal lengths. It is fast focusing paired with my Sony A7III. Perfect for my needs at this time. It’s not a heavy lens but a tripod collar would be beneficial in some circumstances which Sony unfortunately does not manufacture.

All round good performing lens

I BOUGHT THIS TO GO WITH MY A7RIII CAMERA SEVERAL MONTHS AGO
