Sony FE 300mm f/2.8 GM OSS Lens

Designed to meet the demands of professionals capturing major global events, the Sony FE 300mm f/2.8 GM OSS offers rapid performance and extended reach. This fast telephoto prime lens stands out with its remarkably lightweight and compact construction, making it an ideal choice for expert photographers requiring mobility without compromising image quality.

Nimble and Fast Telephoto

The 300mm f/2.8 lens is ideal for indoor sports, close-range coverage, journalism, and wildlife photography. Its versatile focal length allows full-body shots of distant subjects, while the wide f/2.8 aperture provides excellent subject isolation through a shallow depth of field.

Stellar Optics and G Master Design

Belonging to Sony's prestigious G Master lineup, this lens expertly combines exceptional resolution and sharpness with a smooth, attractive bokeh. Incorporating Super ED and ED glass elements, it effectively reduces axial chromatic aberrations and color fringing to deliver clear, true-to-life colors. The Nano AR Coating II on internal lens surfaces minimizes reflections that cause flare and ghosting. The G Master optical design also controls spherical aberrations for outstanding sharpness, while the rounded 11-blade diaphragm enhances the quality of the bokeh.

Fast, Precise AF and Reliable OSS

Equipped with a dual XD (Extreme Dynamic) Linear Motor System, this lens delivers fast and silent autofocus on rapidly moving subjects, ideal for high-speed shooting. The advanced XD motors, paired with refined AF algorithms, enhance responsiveness and reduce noise, benefiting both sports and wildlife photography. Full-time DMF allows manual focus adjustments by simply rotating the focus ring regardless of AF mode, while Linear Response MF ensures intuitive and precise manual control. Additionally, the focus range limiter and preset focus functions improve efficiency by restricting focus to specific distances or instantly recalling designated focus points.

Optical SteadyShot image stabilization reduces camera shake to help capture sharp handheld images. When paired with a camera featuring in-body image stabilization, it provides enhanced 5-axis support. The lens offers three stabilization modes tailored to shooting scenarios: Mode 1 for standard use, Mode 2 optimized for panning, and Mode 3 designed to maintain precise framing when tracking fast, unpredictable subjects.

Impressively Lightweight and Robust Design

Weighing approximately 1470g without the tripod mount, this 300mm f/2.8 lens features an exceptionally lightweight design ideal for handheld use and carrying multiple camera setups during events. It is about 50% lighter and 43% more compact than the FE 400mm f/2.8 GM OSS. The weight is evenly balanced along the 26.4cm barrel, ensuring natural and stable handling whether shooting handheld, on a monopod, or tripod. This design draws on proven engineering principles from the FE 400mm f/2.8 and FE 600mm f/4 GM lenses.

This lens features weather-sealed construction to guard against dust, dirt, and moisture, while its fluorine-coated front element resists smudges and simplifies cleaning. Designed with weight-saving optics and lightweight, durable magnesium alloy internal components, it offers enhanced portability without compromising strength. The reinforced mount ensures rigidity for professional use. Four customizable focus hold buttons provide quick access to functions like Eye AF, and a rear drop-in filter slot accommodates 40.5mm round filters. The rotating tripod collar uses ball bearings for smooth transitions between horizontal and vertical orientations. It is also compatible with optional FE 1.4x and 2.0x teleconverters.
