Sony FE 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 G OSS - Sony E-mount

The Sony FE 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 G OSS is a versatile full-frame telephoto zoom. It was the first E-mount lens in this range to reach 300mm, offering a balanced compromise between reach and portability. The optical design includes four aspherical elements and two ED glass elements, alongside Sony's Nano AR coating. It features a minimum focusing distance of 0.9m, allowing for decent close-up performance, and built-in Optical SteadyShot to aid in low-light situations. Check the zoom lock switch on used units to ensure it prevents the barrel from extending when carried. The barrel extension should be firm; excessive wobble when fully extended can indicate heavy previous use. SDS verifies the image stabilisation is effective and that the lens mount remains tight. The front filter thread is plastic, so it should be checked for cross-threading or impact damage.
