How to Use The Sony FE 300mm f2.8 OSS G Master Lens

Achieve Stunning Resolution Thanks to G Master Optics

If you’re a sports or wildlife photographer looking for optics capable of delivering stunning resolution, the Sony FE 300mm F2.8 GM OSS lens inherits a premium G Master optical design to help creators achieve exceptional edge-to-edge sharpness. This powerful performance is made possible by the advanced optical structure featuring 21 elements arranged into 17 groups, including 1 ED & 3 Super ED glass elements designed to reduce aberrations. Thanks to this design, users can capture images in detail-rich clarity, with every peripheral element in the frame as sharp as the centre. For subject background separation and bokeh, this Sony telephoto lens is just as dynamic thanks to its f2.8 maximum aperture and 11-blade diaphragm. It renders beautifully defocused backgrounds and naturally circular bokeh for striking portraits and incredible low-light performance. The dedicated Nano AR II coating also prevents ghosting and flare from spoiling the image.

Capture The Height of The Action

Two XD Linear motors and Sony’s optimised algorithm reinforce the Sony FE 300mm F2.8 GM OSS as the perfect lens for capturing the height of the action in sports and wildlife scenes. With this advanced internal autofocus mechanism, users will experience a speedy response to control signals, allowing greater control over the large-diameter focus element group with minimal lag and vibration. This fast and precise autofocus tracking is maintained even when shooting bursts at a small f22 aperture, panning to follow moving subjects and stopping down to achieve greater depth of field.

Shoot Handheld with Improved Mobility

Sony developed the FE 300mm f2.8 GM OSS with unique optical solutions for maximising mobility and versatility. As the smallest and lightest f2.8 telephoto prime, this lens weighs only 1470g and measures just 265mm in length. This compact design, combined with Optical SteadyShot and a well-balanced centre of gravity, makes this lens an excellent option for photographers looking to shoot handheld for longer durations without experiencing fatigue. It also opens up the possibility of shooting on a monopod, allowing photographers to track subjects in a vertical direction.

Customise & Streamline Your Shooting Experience

Designed with users at the forefront, Sony built the FE 300mm f2.8 GM OSS lens with plenty of customisable options to enhance user experience. This lens benefits from four customisable focus hold buttons, a function ring with assignable settings, a focus ring for controlling the Linear Response MF, and ample control switches. And, thanks to its dust and moisture-resistant exterior with a fluorine coating on the front element, users can shoot confidently out in the field.
