The Sony SAL-300F28G 300mm f/2.8 APO G SSM Lens is a professional level telephoto lens with wide aperture and fast auto-focus response. Its 35mm-equivalent range of 450mm, a fast f/2.8 aperture and quiet, high-speed SSM (SuperSonic-Wave Motor) auto-focus precision makes it ideal for long-distance sports and wildlife photography.

With a full range of functions geared to the professional photographer, this lens provides sharp, color-free images across the entire film area at all apertures. High-quality multi-coatings and internal baffles increase transmittance and reduce flare to preserve contrast.

The heart of this zoom lens is the finest optical glass reserved for all G-series lenses. This lens uses thirteen finely crafted elements, including three AD (anomalous dispersion) lenses, to virtually eliminate aberrations and curvature of field.

SSM (Super Sonic wave Motor)
A built-in lens motor for faster automatic focusing with high torque at low speed, quick start/stop response, and quiet, smooth operation.

2 DMF (Direct Manual Focus) Modes
Allow you to quickly revert to manual focus by just turning the manual focus ring of the lens.

Internal Focusing System
Internal lens elements move, so the overall length does not change — creating an auto-focus zoom lens that doesn’t affect the balance of your camera.

Lightweight Design
A strong, light magnesium lens barrel makes shooting more comfortable even on long wildlife or sports assignments.

ED (Extra-low Dispersion) Glass
Three precision ED Glass lenses correct chromatic aberrations to provide extremely sharp telephoto images distant subjects as well as dramatic sports close-ups.

Versatile Focus Hold
Four focus hold buttons in different lens locations, plus electronic slider focus range selector switch.
