A telephoto zoom for Sony APS-C E-mount cameras, giving a 105-525mm full-frame equivalent reach in a body light enough to carry on a hike. Sony's G-series optics include one aspherical and three extra-low dispersion elements, plus Optical SteadyShot and a fast XD linear motor for quiet, quick autofocus. It is the practical long lens for crop-sensor Sony shooters who want reach without the size and weight of a full-frame 100-400mm or 200-600mm. Owners rate it highly for sharpness and portability; the main trade-off is the slow f/4.5-6.3 aperture, which limits it in dim light and for fast action.

Owners rate it very highly, praising the sharpness across the zoom range and the light weight for its reach. The common complaint is the slow aperture, which pushes ISO up in shade or at dawn and dusk.
The Sony E 70-350mm f/4.5-6.3 G OSS is a telephoto zoom for APS-C-format E-mount cameras. It gives a 105-525mm equivalent focal length range, which suits sports, wildlife and landscape shooting.
The optical design has one aspherical element and three extra-low dispersion elements. The aspherical element helps reduce distortion and spherical aberrations. The extra-low dispersion elements reduce color fringing and chromatic aberrations. Optical SteadyShot image stabilization helps reduce the appearance of camera shake when shooting handheld at slower shutter speeds.
An XD Linear Motor drives the autofocus and gives quick, quiet and precise performance. It also gives natural manual focus control. The barrel has an AF/MF switch, customizable focus hold buttons and a zoom lock that keeps the lens length fixed when not in use. The seven-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality.
