  • A Strong Native Sony Lens
Size: Lens Only
This is the first telephoto lens I've owned, and I'm very happy with the product. I own one other Sony lens: the 90mm f2.8 Macro, which is by far the sharpest lens I've ever used. This lens isn't too far behind. Image quality: 10/10 The images I've taken are very sharp, even at 300mm. Corner sharpness is really solid. Slight vignetting effect, but it's easily corrected in Lightroom. Lens flare is very well controlled, and I've not noticed any chromatic aberrations. I haven't noticed anything that would reduce my satisfaction with image quality. Build quality: 9/10 Solid construction. Doesn't feel cheap at all. The focus ring could be smoother though. It's nothing like the 90mm Macro lens (which has my favorite adjustment ring). The zoom ring is pretty tight and not as smooth as I'd like, but apparently not tight enough as the lens will still creep if you walk around with the lens facing downwards (more on that later). Usability/Convenience: 8/10 Everything seems to be in the right spot. It's got switches for AF/MF, focus limiting, and OSS. It also has a reprogrammable focus hold button and a zoom lock switch. The zoom lock switch isn't very conveniently placed, but what really irritates me is that it can only lock the lens at 70mm. This is a serious inconvenience for me, but might not bother some people. If you don't use the lock, the lens will creep quite considerably, so I'd recommend always using it. The OSS is very good. I don't have any issues taking photos at slower shutter speeds. I've taken plenty of hand-held, 300mm 1/60s (or slower) photos that turned out to be perfectly usable. Price: N/A This is subjective, and totally up to you and your budget. For me it was well worth it. For people on a tight budget, it might not be. I've included images, and each has has the focal length included (something which people should really consider doing more often...). The photos are not cropped unless specified, and I didn't do any processing/editing in Lightroom. Lens correction profiles were not applied. All photos were taken with the Sony a7 II. ... show more

  • Excellent long-zoom for APS-C on the Sony A6500
Size: Lens Only
Purchased this lens with the idea of using it for travel photography primarily of animals both in the wild and in zoos, paired with my Sony A6500. To that end, I was curious what the size and weight of it were with regard to lenses I have and the body of the A6500. As evidenced in the attached photo with other e-mount lenses (Sony 16-50mm F3.5-5.6, Sony 35mm F1.8, 12mm F2.0 Rokinon, 16mm F1.4 Sigma) this lens is a beast. It's heavy (~30oz / ~2lbs), its large in diameter, and it is definitely designed to be paired with the larger A7 and A9 series cameras. However, while it is big, it doesn't feel unwieldy when attached to the A6500. For those of you, like me, coming from a Nikon or Canon crop-sensor or FF system, it still feels incredibly compact. Additionally, the lens has the construction and feel to backup the price tag. Photo performance is phenomenal, and the reach on the APS-C sensor (105-450mm) is great for wildlife photography. While the 5.6 aperture at full zoom isn't incredibly fast, proper framing of the image yields great blurred backgrounds and up-close shots present a smooth bokeh. Note on the attached crop of a photo at full zoom shows the level of sharpness shot through a glass enclosure. Overall, if you need a zoom lens for the APS-C Sony platform, this is a phenomenal option. ... show more

  • Being able to switch to this lens with OSS and autofocus has been a great improvement. Pros
Size: Lens Only
I was very excited to see a telephoto by sony for e-mount. I had been using the SAL 70-300G SSM with the LA-EA1 adapter for a while, and was growing tired of manual focus. Being able to switch to this lens with OSS and autofocus has been a great improvement. Pros: 300mm native to e-mount Great image quality. Full images and crops seem MUCH sharper than my previous SAL70-300SSM OSS helps with the lack of a tripod collar. I can use it handheld for a variety of situations that I wouldn't be able to without it. 3ft focusing for macro create excellent close-ups, especially with OSS. build feels quite sturdy Cons: 4.5-5.6 aperture means you need a lot of light or higher ISO to use if shooting wildlife. compared to other e-mount lenses this is quite heavy, but if you use telephotos, you get heavy lenses. autofocus is not as fast as some e-mount primes, and does miss on occasion. My a6000 has had issues with the autofocus choosing to focus on the closest object rather than the obvious animal in the viewfinder. Expensive at $1200. My previous SAL70-300 with LA-EA1 adapter had drawbacks but only cost me a total of $600. Overall, I'm very happy with this lens. The list of cons is completely outweighed, in my opinion, by having native autofocus and a 300mm focal length. ... show more

  • Awesome. Sharp! Versatile! Doubles as a Macro.
Size: Lens Only
I have had and loved this lens for two years at this writing. It is an awesome lens. On my Sony A6300 "half-frames," the lens is equivalent to 105-450. The first time I took it out was to a prairie for pictures of flora. It was overcast so my ISOs were on the high side, plus it was windy so everything was waving wildly. The autofocus performed flawlessly, no lag, and since I was using it in closeup mode and I had read most of the reviews I half expected some missed shots. Not a one. Just flawless performance even under less than ideal conditions. I use a monopod with a Vee or Wye shooter's rifle rest. The lens is absolutely a chunk, weighs 2 pounds, twice as much as the bodies, but on my second body I always have my Sony 18-105mm F4 G OSS that weighs a pound, so I'm not unused to fairly heavy glass on relatively light bodies. Between the 18-105 and the (equivalent) 105-450 I have perfect overlap, enormous reach, and outstanding versatility. I purchased the DSLRKIT Metal Tripod Mount Ring for Sony FE 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6. The ring is $pendy but so far as I am concerned worth every dime, keeping the lens balanced on the tripod and not overloading the flange. ... show more
