The Sony E 70-350mm F4.5-6.3 G OSS is a 5x super-telephoto zoom for Sony APS-C E-mount bodies, giving a 105-525mm full-frame equivalent range. It uses one aspherical and three ED elements to hold sharpness and control chromatic aberration across the zoom, and a built-in optical stabilizer plus an XD linear motor for fast, quiet autofocus. At about 22 oz it is light for its reach, which makes it a practical handheld wildlife and sports lens. It is the natural step up from the 55-210mm kit zoom, trading a slower aperture for much longer reach and better optics.

Owners rate it very highly, praising the sharpness, light weight and stabilization for a lens of this reach. Most criticism centers on the slow aperture and the lack of a tripod collar.
This is a super-telephoto zoom lens for Sony E-mount APS-C cameras. It covers 70-350 mm, which is equivalent to 105-525 mm on a full-frame camera, a 5x zoom range. Built-in optical image stabilization helps keep handheld shots at long focal lengths sharp.
The optical design uses one aspherical element and three ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements to suppress aberration, including chromatic aberration, across the zoom range. A circular aperture mechanism gives smooth background blur. An XD (extreme dynamic) linear motor drives the autofocus.
The lens has an Optical SteadyShot switch, an AF/MF focus mode switch and a customizable focus hold button. The button can be assigned other functions through the camera menu, such as Right/Left Eye Select. A zoom lock switch keeps the lens from extending under its own weight during transport. The design is dust and moisture resistant.
