Features
Wide 70-300mm zoom range
An outstanding zoom range for a variety of subjects, from portraits to sports and more! A 1.2 meter minimum focusing distance makes this lens useful for close-up applications too.
Outstanding clarity and contrast
Sony’s original Nano AR Coating technology effectively suppresses lens surface reflections for dramatically reduced flare and ghosting, resulting in notably enhanced overall image quality. The Nano AR Coating is used in an advanced optical design that also achieves high contrast and excellent resolution throughout the zoom range.
Fast tracking for sports and wildlife
Responsive SSM (Super Sonic wave Motor) focus drive and new high-speed lens processing boost autofocus speed and precision by up to four times.
Reliable and easy in any conditions
Reliable operation in a variety of conditions is ensured by a design that prevents dust and moisture from entering the lens.
Sharp, well-defined reproduction
The inclusion of an ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass element in an advanced optical design effectively suppresses chromatic aberration that can be a problem in telephoto lenses, providing superior image quality throughout the zoom range. This lens can also produce gorgeous beautifully smooth background bokeh when needed.
