Sony FE 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 G OSS Lens

      

With an increased reach over a 70-200mm, the FE 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 G OSS is a versatile tele zoom ranging up to the super-tele realm. This G series lens trades in speed for a sleeker form factor and utilizes aspherical elements and low dispersion glass to produce well-corrected, sharp imagery. A linear autofocus motor also contributes to quick and precise focusing performance, while Optical SteadyShot image stabilization minimizes the appearance of camera shake when shooting handheld.
