Sony E-Mount 70-300mm F4.5-5.6 Telephoto Zoom Lens

Sony E-Mount 70-300mm F4.5-5.6 Telephoto Zoom Lens

Spanning a useful range of telephoto focal lengths, the Sony E-Mount 70-300mm F4.5-5.6 Telephoto Zoom Lens is a versatile zoom lens designed for full-frame E-mount mirrorless cameras. Complementing the reach, this lens' optical design incorporates four aspherical elements and two extra-low dispersion glass elements to control spherical and chromatic aberrations throughout the zoom range for increased clarity, sharpness, and colour accuracy. A Nano AR coating has also been applied to individual lens elements to minimise lens flare and ghosting for increased contrast and colour fidelity when working in strong lighting conditions. Well-suited to a variety of telephoto needs, this zoom lens balances both a versatile focal length range along with a sophisticated optical design for maintained image quality.
Working in concert with the optical assets, this lens also incorporates an Optical SteadyShot image stabilisation mechanism that minimises the appearance of camera shake for sharper handheld shooting. Also benefitting sharpness is a linear actuator autofocus system, which offers smooth, quiet focusing performance to support both stills and movie recording applications. An internal focusing mechanism is also employed, which limits the overall length of the lens when focusing and both a focus range limiter and focus hold button facilitate more intuitive handling. Additionally, the lens is designed to be dust- and moisture resistant for use in trying conditions.

• Telephoto zoom 70-300mm lens is designed for full-frame Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras, however, it can also be used with APS-C models where it provides a 105-450mm equivalent focal length range.
• Four aspherical elements pair with two extra-low dispersion elements to minimise both spherical and chromatic aberrations throughout the zoom range for sharper, clearer imagery.
• A Nano AR Coating has been applied to reduce surface reflections, flare, and ghosting for increased contrast and more accurate colour rendering.
• Optical SteadyShot image stabilisation helps to minimise the appearance of camera shake for sharper imagery when shooting handheld with slower shutter speeds.
• A linear actuator offers fast, precise, smooth, and silent autofocus performance that is ideal for video applications as well as stills shooting.
• An internal focusing design helps to quicken focusing speeds as well as maintain the overall length of the lens when focusing for more intuitive handling.
• A dedicated AF/MF switch lets you quickly switch between auto and manual focusing methods.
• Focus range limiter lets you constrain the usable focusing range to either 9.8' to infinity or the full range of 3' to infinity.
  Focus hold button can be used to stop the autofocus system when more control over focusing on a particular subject is desired.
• Rounded nine-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality.
• Dust- and moisture-resistant construction benefits working in harsh environments.
