FE 300mm F2.8 GM OSS features

The FE 300mm F2.8 GM OSS is a G Master telephoto lens incorporating Sony’s cutting-edge technology. Its high-resolution performance and beautiful bokeh make subjects stand out clearly. The lens features an innovative optical design with Super ED and ED glass elements to suppress chromatic aberration and maintain outstanding resolution and contrast across the entire frame.

With high-performance AF, the lens captures dynamic moments and supports high-speed continuous shooting of up to 120 frames per second when combined with the Alpha 9 III. Exceptional mobility is achieved through extensive weight reduction, making it the lightest in its class at approximately 1470g (excluding tripod mount). The durable magnesium alloy internal lens barrel provides both robustness and light weight, ensuring stability and agility during handheld shooting.
