Product Features in Detail

Versatile, easy-to-handle telephoto zoom
70–300 mm F4.5–5.6 G SSM (SAL70300G)
Compact and lightweight, the SAL70300G combines extended zoom range with G Lens image quality. A 1.2 m minimum focus distance makes it a good close-up performer, too.

See the difference with G Lens
Renowned for their descriptive power, G Series lenses maintain excellent peripheral light characteristics and maximum contrast even at the edges of the frame.

Smooth defocusing
Instead of a standard polygon-shaped lens aperture, this lens features a 9-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.

Focus quickly and quietly
A rear focusing mechanism enables reduced minimum focusing distances and fast autofocus response. A built-in SSM (Super Sonic wave Motor) ensures silent operation.

Focus hold button
Easy-to-reach button lets you lock focus at the current setting.

Focus range limiter
Useful when you need the fastest possible autofocus response.

Say goodbye to blur
Pair the lens with a camera by Sony featuring built-in SteadyShot™ image stabilization and you’ll enjoy smooth, blur-free results when shooting handheld.
