Extended 70 mm to 350 mm zoom range

This lens's 70–350 mm (105–525 mm 35 mm full-frame equivalent) zoom range offers plenty of coverage for a wide spectrum of subjects, from landscapes to wildlife and more.

Superb image quality at any focal length

One aspherical element and three ED (extra-low dispersion) glass elements in a precision optical design suppress aberration throughout the lens's zoom range, including chromatic aberration that can be an issue at super-telephoto focal lengths. Excellent sharpness and rendering are achieved at all focal lengths, throughout the image area.

Gorgeous G Lens bokeh

A circular aperture mechanism enhances bokeh quality, making it possible to take advantage of the narrow depth of field available with a super-telephoto zoom lens to create impressive images with smooth, gorgeous G Lens bokeh.

Compact, mobile 5x super-telephoto zoom

Although it offers a big 5x zoom range, this compact lens weighs in at just 22.05 ounces, maximizing the mobility of the entire camera system.

XD Linear Motor in an APS-C lens

Sony's XD (extreme dynamic) linear motor technology is available in an APS-C lens, offering top-class AF performance that is fast, precise, and tenacious. Coupled with the real-time AF capability of the latest compact APS-C bodies, you have a high-performance, easy-handling system for landscapes, wildlife, and more.

Clear, blur-free images without a tripod

Built-in Optical SteadyShot image stabilization makes it easier to capture blur-free images, particularly when shooting at super-telephoto focal lengths.

Versatile, customizable focus hold button

A conveniently located focus hold button provides convenient focus hold control. The button can also be customized via a camera menu that allows assignment of other functions, such as Right/Left Eye Select, as required.

Fast auto/manual focus-switching

An AF/MF focus mode switch on the lens makes it easy to quickly switch between auto and manual focus to respond to changing shooting needs.
