A super-telephoto zoom for Sony APS-C E-mount bodies, covering a 105-525mm full-frame equivalent range in a body that weighs about 22oz (625g). Sony's G-series optics use one aspherical and three ED elements to hold sharpness and control chromatic aberration across the zoom, backed by an XD linear motor for fast, quiet autofocus and Optical SteadyShot stabilization. It suits wildlife, sports and travel shooters who want reach without a heavy full-frame telephoto. Against Sony's 55-210mm kit zoom it adds reach, build and optical quality; against the larger 100-400mm GM it trades aperture and full-frame coverage for size and weight.

Owners rate it as one of the best value long zooms for Sony APS-C, praising sharpness, light weight and reliable autofocus. The main complaints are the slow maximum aperture at the long end and the lack of a tripod collar.
This is a super-telephoto zoom lens for Sony E-mount APS-C cameras. It covers 70-350mm, which is equivalent to 105-525mm on a full-frame camera. It weighs 22 oz (625 g).
The optical design uses one aspherical element and three Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass elements. These suppress aberration across the zoom range, including chromatic aberration at long focal lengths. They also reduce flare and ghosting and help keep edges free of fringing. Optical SteadyShot image stabilization is built in, and the diaphragm has 7 blades.
An XD (extreme Dynamic) linear motor drives autofocus. It is the same type used in G Master series lenses, and it focuses on and tracks moving subjects quickly and quietly. Linear Response MF ties focus movement to the angle of ring rotation for repeatable manual focus, which is useful in video. An AF/MF switch on the side of the lens changes between auto and manual focus.
