Lightweight and ideally balanced telephoto 300mm F2.8
The SEL300F28GM is the lightest large-aperture telephoto prime lens in its class1, delivering outstanding optical performance and rendering plus astonishingly fast, precise AF in a versatile lens that weighs just 51.9 oz. (1470 grams)2. The lens has been designed so that its weight is not concentrated near the front, for ideal balance. This can minimize stress and fatigue during long handheld shooting sessions.
Breathtaking G MasterTM image quality right out to the edges of the frame
An innovative optical design that includes three Super ED (extra-low dispersion) glass elements and one ED glass element effectively subdues axial and lateral chromatic aberration. Outstanding resolution and contrast are maintained right out to the image edges, which also allows for more flexible cropping and editing.
Extraordinary resolution and bokeh to emphasize the subject
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, rounded bokeh.
Fast, precise AF brings out the full potential of advanced cameras
The lens maximizes the speed potential of high-performance cameras, making it easy to capture important moments in dynamic sports action or fast-moving wildlife scenes. Two high thrust XD (extreme dynamic) Linear Motors and an advanced control algorithm have been specially fine-tuned for fast response. Additionally, AF tracking speed and precision are maintained even when shooting continuous bursts.

The lens is supplied with a normal drop-in filter. The filter is a component of the lens’s optical train, so either the normal filter or a circular polarizing filter should always be in place when shooting.
