Sony SAL300F28G2 Overview

Able to hold up to the demanding conditions and needs of professional wildlife, sports, and action photography, the 300mm f/2.8 G SSM II Lens from Sony will deliver outstanding images in some of the most difficult shooting scenarios. The super telephoto lens offers a fast maximum aperture of f/2.8, allowing for operation in less-than-ideal lighting and for the creation of images with smooth bokeh. Image quality is further improved with the use of three extra-low dispersion elements and a Nano AR coating which help minimize aberrations and reduce flare to improve resolution and contrast. Users will also have the ability to use the included slot-in circular polarizing filter to reduce glare and increase saturation.

Befitting a lens of this caliber is a Super Sonic wave AF Motor (SSM) and internal focus design to quickly and accurately lock onto the subject. With an LSI drive circuit tracking performance has been improved significantly compared to the lens' predecessor. The lens is also equipped with four focus hold buttons as well as an electronic focus range limiter switch for tactile control and operation of the lens. Additionally, it has a dust- and moisture-resistant construction for working in inclement weather and comes with a removable, rotating tripod collar for added stability.

Designed for the high demands of professional sports, wildlife, and action photography, this 300mm lens has been upgraded for improved image quality and faster, more responsive focusing. It is optimized for full-frame A-mount cameras, but it can be used on APS-C format cameras where it has a 450mm equivalent focal length.
A maximum aperture of f/2.8 provides photographers with excellent light gathering capabilities as well as the ability to create images with a shallow depth of field for selective focus techniques.
Three extra-low dispersion glass elements are featured in the lens design to help reduce chromatic aberrations and color fringing for improved clarity and color neutrality.
A Nano AR Coating has been applied to reduce surface reflections, flare, and ghosting for increased contrast and color rendering in strong lighting conditions.
An SSM autofocus system with an enhanced algorithm and new LSI drive circuit provides quick, quiet, and precise focusing and much more responsive performance in tracking modes. The lens also features an internal focusing design that keeps the overall size constant and helps achieve a minimum focus distance of 6.6'.
An electronic focus range limiter switch allows you constrain the usable focus range between a set limited range or full for improving focus speed, and four focus hold buttons are also featured to manually stop the autofocus at a specified point.
Dust- and weather-sealed construction benefits using the lens in inclement shooting conditions.
The lens is equipped with a removable and rotating tripod collar for added stability and reduced strain on the camera's lens mount.
The lens comes supplied with a drop-in 42mm circular polarizing filter to help reduce glare and produce more saturated imagery.
Rounded nine-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality when employing selective focus techniques.
This lens is compatible with Sony's 1.4x and 2x teleconverters which can increase the effective focal length to 420mm and 600mm, respectively.
