Product Features in Detail
Quiet, quick, all-purpose telephoto zoom
DT 55–300 mm F4.5–5.6 SAM (SAL55300)
Compact, lightweight telephoto zoom lens offers smooth, silent operation and covers the all-important medium-to-long distance telephoto range.
Smooth defocusing
Instead of a standard polygon-shaped lens aperture, this lens features a 7-blade circular aperture for more natural, rounded defocusing, or bokeh.
Refined optical performance
ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements provide superior contrast, resolution, and color fidelity throughout the image, even at large aperture settings.
Compact and stylish interchangeable lens
Designed for advanced performance at a range of focal lengths for all SLT and DSLR cameras featuring APS-C sensors
Shoot at a wide-range of focal lengths
A 5.5x magnification range covers focal lengths from 55 mm to 300 mm, with the power to capture wildlife and fast action
Fast and quiet autofocus
The whisper-quiet Smooth Autofocus Motor delivers fluid operation of the lens autofocus function — ideal for intimate shoots
Maximize coverage with a standard zoom
With a standard zoom lens (DT18-55 mm F3.5-5.6) you get even broader focal coverage, from 27 mm wide angle to 450 mm super telephoto
Higher image quality with ED glass
Extra-Low Dispersion glass reduces chromatic aberrations to sharpen image quality at medium to long focal lengths
Say goodbye to blur
