Product Description

A superb telephoto zoom lens that's easy to carry. The Sony G-Series 70-300mm
f4.5-5.6 Telephoto Zoom Lens is a brilliant performer for a wide range of
medium-distance and long shots, with SSM (Super Sonic wave Motor) design for
fast, silent auto-focus, ED glass to virtually eliminate chromatic aberration,
focus hold button and more. Minimum focusing distance of about 4 feet (1.2m)
lets you move in close to your subjectand even at full zoom extension it
captures sharp, clear images thanks to the benefit of Super SteadyShot image
stabilization built into every Sony α(alpha) system DSLR. (35mm equivalent:
105-450mm).
Compact Design, All-Around Versatility
This superb 70-300mm zoom lens is an excellent choice for a wide range
medium to long-distance telephoto applications -- and its lightweight design
lets you leave it on-camera or carry it easily as an accessory lens for special
purposes (35mm equivalent: 105-450mm).
Superb Optical Performance
Sony's G-Series lenses are designed for maximum descriptive power,
maintaining excellent peripheral light characteristics and minimizing contrast
drop-off even at the edges of the frame.
Short Minimum Focusing Distance
With the ability to focus as closely as 4 feet (1.2m), this telephoto lens
also lets you move in for dramatic shots of people, natural subjects and
close-up details.
In-Camera Image Stabilization
A major reason for its compact, lightweight design is the benefit of Super
SteadyShot in-camera image stabilization, built into every Sony & 945 system
DSLR -- and enabling accessory lenses to eliminate the extra weight and expense
of in-lens stabilization mechanisms.
SSM (Super Sonic wave Motor)
Designed for fast, smooth, silent automatic focusing, this unique technology
achieves high torque at low speed with rapid start/stop response. It operates
through the ability of a piezoelectric device to reshape itself quickly when
voltage is applied.
Focus Hold Button
For creative control and image preview, a focus hold button conveniently
located on the lens barrel lets you firmly lock in focus -- and a focus range
limiter can be set to speed auto-focus response.
Smooth Manual Focusing
An easy-grip focus ring on the lens barrel gives you a solid "hands-on" feel
in manual focusing.
Multi-Element Design with Internal Focusing
The SAL-70300G is designed with 16 lens elements in 11 groups, with internal
focusing so the balance of your camera never changes.
ED (Extra-low Dispersion) Glass
Because light of different wavelength (or color) bends at different angles
when it passes through a lens, ED (Extra-low Dispersion) Glass is used to
eliminate chromatic aberration by correcting certain wavelengths of light for
sharp, clear images with well defined colors.
Circular Aperture
Because the aperture blades form a near circle at the wide openings used for
low-light shots, spot-light sources have a pleasing circular defocused effect.
