Sony FE 300mm f/2.8 GM OSS Full-Frame, Autofocus, Lens (Sony E)

Providing the speed and reach many pros are looking for when photographing the world's biggest events, the Sony FE 300mm f/2.8 GM OSS is a fast telephoto prime characterized by an impressively lightweight, portable design.

The 300mm f/2.8 design excels for photographing indoor sporting events as well as close-range events, journalism, and even wildlife subjects.
The comfortable focal length helps capture full-length shots of distant subjects and the bright f/2.8 maximum aperture enables isolating subjects using shallow depth of field.

Stellar Optics and G Master Design

As part of Sony's esteemed G Master series, this lens is designed to achieve a balance of impressive resolution and sharpness along with distinctive and pleasing bokeh.

• Super ED and ED glass elements minimize axial chromatic aberrations, as well as color fringing, for high clarity and realistic color accuracy.
• Nano AR Coating II has been applied to interior lens surfaces to suppress reflections that cause flare and ghosting.
• G Master optical design also contributes to low spherical aberrations, for high sharpness, as well as a pleasing bokeh quality that is further benefited by a rounded 11-blade diaphragm.

Impressively Lightweight and Robust Design

Measuring about 3.2 lb without the tripod mount, this 300mm f/2.8 has a truly lightweight design that suits handheld shooting applications and benefits those carrying multiple lenses and camera setups at an event.
Compared to the FE 400mm f/2.8 GM OSS, this lens is around 50% lighter and 43% smaller.

The weight is distributed evenly across the 10.4"-long lens body, meaning handling is natural and smooth when shooting handheld or atop a monopod or tripod.

• This design is based on proven concepts from the FE 400mm f/2.8 and FE 600mm f/4 GM lenses.
• Weather-sealed construction protects against dust, dirt, and moisture.
• Fluorine-coated front element resists dirt and fingerprints and is also easier to clean.
• In addition to the weight-saving optical design that limits extra elements, the internal components of the lens also are made from lightweight-yet-durable magnesium alloy.
• Increased mount strength for ensured rigidity that will withstand professional use.
• Four separate focus hold buttons can be customized to adjust or activate a variety of settings, such as Eye AF.
• The rear of the lens features a drop-in filter slot that accepts 40.5mm round filters.
• Rotating tripod collar features ball bearings for smooth movements when shifting between horizontal and vertical working positions.
• Compatible with optional FE 1.4x and 2.0x teleconverters.
