Product Overview

Sony FE 70-300mm F4.5-5.6 G OSS is a telephoto zoom lens for Sony E-mount. It covers the full-frame image circle. Introduced by Sony in 2016, it has 16 elements in 13 groups.
Like most zoom lenses, the Sony FE 70-300mm F4.5-5.6 G OSS is externally-zooming. Fortunately, Sony has provided a zoom lock that at least stops zoom creep. For incremental weathers, Sony is kind enough to include weather sealing.
As a telephoto zoom lens, the Sony FE 70-300mm F4.5-5.6 G OSS is well suited for landscape and portrait photography, though its relatively dark maximum aperture limits its performance for indoor sports. Built-in image stabilization makes the lens easier to use handheld, and can be quite valuable for landscape works.
