This lens’s 70-350mm (105-525mm 35mm full-frame equivalent) zoom range offers plenty of coverage for a wide spectrum of subjects, from landscapes to wildlife and more.

One aspherical element and three ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements in a precision optical design suppress aberration throughout the lens’s zoom range, including chromatic aberration that can be an issue at super-telephoto focal lengths. Excellent sharpness and rendering are achieved at all focal lengths, throughout the image area.

A circular aperture mechanism enhances bokeh quality, making it possible to take advantage of the narrow depth of field available with a super-telephoto zoom lens to create impressive images with smooth, gorgeous G Lens bokeh.

Although it offers a big 5x zoom range, this compact lens weighs in at just 625 grams, maximising the mobility of the entire camera system. 

Sony’s XD (extreme dynamic) linear motor technology is available in an APS-C lens, offering top-class AF performance that is fast, precise, and tenacious. Coupled with the real-time AF capability of the latest compact APS-C bodies, you have a high-performance, easy-handling system for landscapes, wildlife, and more.

Built-in Optical SteadyShot image stabilisation makes it easier to capture blur-free images, particularly when shooting at super-telephoto focal lengths.   [1] SteadyShot OFF  [2] SteadyShot ON

A conveniently located focus hold button provides convenient focus hold control. The button can also be customised via a camera menu that allows assignment of other functions, such as Right/Left Eye Select, as required.

An AF/MF focus mode switch on the lens makes it easy to quickly switch between auto and manual focus to respond to changing shooting needs.

Engage the zoom lock switch to prevent the lens from extending under its own weight during transportation.

A dust and moisture resistant design provides the reliability needed for outdoor use in challenging conditions.
