Review on πŸ”Ž Discover the Full Potential of Photography with Sony FE 70-300mm SEL70300G F4.5-5.6 G OSS Lens by Nancy Ortega

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Being able to switch to this lens with OSS and autofocus was a big improvement. Benefits

I was very excited about the Sony E-mount TV. I used the SAL 70-300G SSM with the LA-EA1 adapter for a while and got tired of focusing manually. Being able to switch to this lens with OSS and autofocus was a big improvement. Advantages: 300 mm installed in e.g. Outstanding image quality. Full frames and crops look MUCH sharper than my previous SAL70-300SSMOSS, aided by the lack of a tripod. I can use it handheld in a variety of situations that I couldn't do without. Light or higher ISO for wildlife shots. It's pretty heavy compared to other E-mount lenses, but if you're using telephoto lenses you end up with heavy lenses. Autofocus isn't as fast as some basic E-mount lenses and sometimes misses. My a6000 had issues with the autofocus choosing to focus on the closest subject rather than the obvious animal in the viewfinder. Expensive at $1200. My previous SAL70-300 with LA-EA1 adapter was faulty but only cost me $600. Overall I am very happy with this lens. The list of disadvantages, in my opinion, outweighs the presence of a native autofocus and a focal length of 300mm.

Pros
  • A dream come true
Cons
  • I have nothing wrong with that, everything is fine
