Product Description
The SEL300F28GM is the lightest large-aperture telephoto lens in its class1, delivering outstanding optical performance and astonishingly fast, precise AF in a versatile lens that weighs just 51.9 oz. (excluding tripod mount). This lens has been designed for ideal balance. allowing precise, agile lens movement and panning while shooting handheld.
Lightweight and ideally balanced telephoto 300 mm F2.8
The SEL300F28GM is the lightest large-aperture telephoto prime lens in its class2, delivering outstanding optical performance and rendering plus astonishingly fast, precise AF in a versatile lens that weighs just 51.9 oz (1,470 g). (Excluding tripod mount) The lens has been designed so that its weight is not concentrated near the front, in order to give the best balance. This can minimize stress and fatigue during long handheld shooting sessions.
Breathtaking G Master resolution
An innovative optical design that includes three Super ED (extra-low dispersion) glass elements and one ED glass element effectively subdues axial chromatic aberration as well as lateral chromatic aberration. Outstanding resolution and contrast are maintained right out to the image edges, which also allows for more flexible cropping and editing.
Beautiful bokeh brings subjects to the fore
The gorgeous and creamy bokeh allows the use of narrow depth of field to make subjects stand out from the background. In addition to Super ED (extra-low dispersion) and ED elements in a new optical design, each lens is individually calibrated during manufacture to optimize bokeh quality. An 11-blade circular aperture mechanism contributes to smooth ball bokeh.
High-speed continuous shooting with fast, precise AF/AE
AF tracking speed and precision are maintained even when shooting continuous bursts at a small F22 aperture. The user can shoot continuously while panning to follow moving subjects, or stop down to achieve greater depth of field without having to worry about minimum aperture limitations.
Flare and ghosting minimized for eye-opening clarity
Adding to the effectiveness of Sony’s original Nano AR Coating II, reflections inside the lens barrel are carefully controlled to minimize flare and ghosting for crisp, clear images.
Fast, precise AF is also quiet and low in vibration
Two XD (extreme dynamic) Linear Motors with high thrust efficiency and an advanced control algorithm have been specially fine-tuned for use in the SEL300F28GM, achieving extremely fast response to control signals so that the large-aperture focus element group is precisely controlled with minimal time lag and vibration. The result is exceptionally responsive, precise, quiet, low-vibration AF operation.
The lightest in its class at 51.9 oz (1,470 g)
An optical design that includes Super ED (extra-low dispersion) glass elements has reduced the subjective weight by using fewer elements positioned near the front of the lens. This optimizes balance and reduces moment of inertia which is felt as resistance to rotation, allowing precise, agile lens movement and panning while shooting.
High AF tracking performance with 1.4x and 2.0x teleconverters
Fast, precise AF performance is available even when the SEL300F28GM is used with the optional SEL14TC (1.4x) or SEL20TC (2.0x) teleconverter.
Built-in Optical SteadyShot
Built-in optical image stabilization makes it easier to shoot sharp images handheld at telephoto focal lengths. MODE 2 offers ideal stabilization for panned shots, while MODE 3 provides enhanced stabilization for dynamic, unpredictable sports action. Additionally, compatible bodies provide detailed body-lens communication and control that can effectively manage the blur.
Dust and moisture resistance plus high durability
A dust- and moisture-resistant design provides extra reliability. The use of a durable magnesium alloy for internal components and other refinements maximizes durability while reducing weight. Additionally, the front lens element features a fluorine coating that repels fingerprints, dust, and other contaminants, while making it easier to wipe off any contaminants.
Function Ring
The SEL300F28GM includes a function ring that can directly control the power focus and APS-C/Full-frame switching. Power Focus: This is the default setting. Rotating the ring initiates constant speed focusing in the specified direction. APS-C/Full-frame: When assigned to the corresponding body menu function, rotating the ring instantly selects APS-C or Full-frame format.
Drop-in filter support and other features
The SEL300F28GM can use standard 40.5 mm diameter drop-in ND and other filters as well as Sony’s own VF-DCPL1 circular polarizer. As with other features, a new lens hood design uses a high-strength engineering plastic that provides an ideal blend of durability and low weight. A dedicated soft case that protects the lens against vibration is also supplied. Also, lens strap is supplied as well.
