Sony FE 70-300mm F4.5-5.6 G OSS Telephoto Lens

Very well engineered: the lens hood and lens caps don't fall off; when mounted there is little or no play between body and lens; most importantly image quality is excellent.

I bought this lens just before christmas, to use with my a7rlll, which has built in digital zoom, l looked at other lens, l have found it ideal for my wildlife photography, not too big and clumbsy but using the camers digital zoom l am able to reach the wildlife with a more pracktical sized lens

Olen ollut tyytyväinen objektiiviin. Kaikkein kevyimmästä päästä ei ole, mutta sitä pystyy kuitenkin kuljettamaan hyvin mukana metsäretkillä, jossa zoomaus on vaihtelevasti tarpeen. Kuvanvakain mahdollistaa, että käsivaralta pystyy ottamaan kuvia tappiin asti zoomattuna ja kuva on silti tarkka.

Bought just over a month ago, used a few times, such a great Lens. AF is quick and accurate and the lens build quality is second to none!!

I purchased my Sony a7 iv with a 24 -> 70 mm, which is the bread and butter, but was lacking a lens that would grab those images a bit further away. I toyed up the Sony 70 -> 200 and the 70 -> 300. I opted for the 70-300 for the extra reach, which is not vast, but it gives me that extra for a wide variety of applications.

I am very pleased with the G Lens, at a price I could justify. I am very happy with it. I have used it for a variety of Astro, Landscape and Nature and cannot fault it.

If you want the extra reach, I would recommend it. Size and weight wise, very similar to the 24-70 G.

I got this lens to take away on holiday where I didn't want to take my GM 100-400 or my G200-600. The idea was to have a lens that was as close as possible to an all-round lens. A lens for landscape, buildings, wild life if the opportunity came up and any thing else. Has it done this? Well the wild life side yes and the rest is yet to be put to the test.

I like the ability to lock the lens at 70mm for transport and the feel of the lens is comfortable. What I would have liked is a tripod foot as the lens is a fair weight and I don't want to stress the body of the camera. I have solved this with an aftermarket tripod collar, which means its completely removable.

That's it for now once back from the trip I may update this review giving an idea of how the lens performed and may be add an image or two. We'll see.

I wanted a zoom lens for wildlife photography and this does not disappoint, brilliant lens especially on MF mode!

Depending on how close I can get to the subjects this is a very good lens.

Bought for personal photography use. It ticks all the boxes.

I have updated from the Canon 5D mk 3plus a few L Series Lens
