Sony E 70-350mm f/4.5-6.3 G OSS Autofocus APS-C Lens for E-Mount, Black {67} SEL70350G

Sony's APS-C super-telephoto zoom reaches 525mm equivalent at 625 grams.

The 70-350mm f/4.5-6.3 G OSS covers a 105-525mm equivalent range on any APS-C E-mount body, giving you genuine reach without the weight penalty of a full-frame telephoto system. At 625g and 142mm long with a 67mm filter thread, it travels light enough to stay on the camera all day. The optical formula runs 19 elements across 13 groups, including one aspherical element and three ED glass elements that keep chromatic aberration in check at the long end where lesser designs typically fall apart.

Sony's XD linear motor drives autofocus with the speed and tenacity that moving subjects demand, and it pairs cleanly with the real-time AF tracking found on current APS-C Alpha bodies. Optical SteadyShot image stabilization handles the handholding challenges that come with shooting at 350mm. A physical OSS switch, zoom lock, and customizable focus hold button round out the controls, and the dust and moisture resistant construction means it goes where the shot requires.

For APS-C shooters who need a long zoom that doesn't require a second bag, this lens makes the case that G designation optics and compact design aren't mutually exclusive.

Who It's For

Wildlife photographers working from hides or stalking subjects on foot get 525mm equivalent reach in a package that won't fatigue a wrist or flag a carry-on. Sports shooters using APS-C bodies like the ZV-E10 or a6700 benefit from the XD linear motor's fast, precise focus tracking on unpredictable action. Travel photographers covering everything from compressed cityscapes to distant subjects can carry this lens alongside a wide zoom without overloading a daypack. Safari and birding photographers working in variable light conditions will appreciate OSS at longer focal lengths where any camera movement compounds.
