The first Sony a E-mount lens to reach a 300mm focal length, this telephoto zoom lens (model SEL70300G) features an optical design with four aspherical glass elements, two ED (extra-low dispersion) glass elements and Sony’s Nano AR coating. They all work to suppress spherical aberration, distortion and chromatic aberration—in both photos and video.

For tele-macro photography, the full-frame lens has a minimum focusing distance of less than 3 feet and a maximum magnification of 0.31x. And built-in Optical SteadyShot image stabilization helps reduce the effects of camera shake when shooting handheld. The lens also has a linear actuator designed for fast, smooth and quiet autofocus. It is also dust and moisture resistant. It retails for $1,200.

The lens features a new optical design with an aspherical element to compensate for all forms of aberration. Additionally, it has a circular aperture with a maximum of f/1.8 to producing artistic bokeh in images, allowing the subject to stand out against a smoothly defocused background. For extended durability, the lens is built with a solid metal mount. It has an SRP of $250. sony.com
