SSM (Super Sonic wave Motor)
Thanks to a new LSI drive circuit, the SAL-300F28GII offers faster, more accurate autofocusing
with four times faster object tracking performance than the currently available 300mm F2.8 G
SSM lens. The smooth, high-speed performance contributes to excellent response when shooting
moving subjects.
Improved optical performance
The SAL-300F28GII is specifically developed for digital photography. Its high-contrast design will
keep pace with the ever-increasing pixel count of digital image sensors. Beautiful background
blur, one of the features of the G lens series, is now even more beautiful thanks to optimizations
that reduce spherical aberration.
Nano AR Coating with nano-precision structure
The SAL-300F28G features the same Nano AR Coating found on the SAL500F4G 500mm lens. This
recently developed proprietary Sony coating technology sharply reduces the reflection ratio to
realize clear, crisp image quality with less flare and ghost from internal reflections.
Dust and moisture protection design
Designed with outdoor use in mind. The front and back of the unit, as well as the area around
the focus ring, are specially constructed to help prevent water penetration. When used in
combination with the SLT-A77 or SLT-A99, this lens contributes to a camera system that reliably
withstands tough shooting environments.
ED (Extra-low Dispersion) Glass
Three precision ED Glass lenses correct chromatic aberrations to provide extremely sharp
telephoto images distant subjects as well as dramatic sports close-ups.
Internal Focusing System
Internal lens elements move, so the overall length does not change -- creating an auto-focus
zoom lens that doesn’t affect the balance of your camera.
2 DMF (Direct Manual Focus) Modes
Allow you to quickly revert to manual focus by just turning the manual focus ring of the lens.
Versatile Focus Hold
Four focus hold buttons in different lens locations, plus electronic slider focus range selector
switch.
Lightweight Design
A strong, light magnesium lens barrel makes shooting more comfortable even on long wildlife or
sports assignments.
