Sony SAL300G Tele Lens
12 Jun 2008
I purchased this lens to upgrade from the SAL75300, and what an upgrade it is! I was happy with the SAL75300, but felt the focus could be faster. The 'G' lens with SSM drive is VERY fast, And silent. I've only had the 'G' for a few days, but I used it at a water polo tourney and every shot was a keeper. Super sharp, well saturated colors, and everything else you could ask for from a 'G' series lens. A real winner with the A700 body.

great lens
21 Oct 2008
i used the "Tamron AF70-300mm F/4-5.6 Di LD Macro Lens" . it was a big disappointment.
i thought the G series is expensive, compared to other Sony lenses, but I still got it.
The SAL70300G is amazing. I used it extensively in wildlife shooting on A700, and the results were great.
its absolutely silent (which is not a luxury when you do not want to scare an animal away), fast (animals will not wait for your focus) and sharp (a must).
But, it was slow in focussing around sunrise and sunset times in the shadows.
I believe that cheaper alternatives are a big waste of money.
conclusion: strongly recommend it

got stuck in the camera body!
6 May 2009
These pretty much sums up what I think about this lens.
CONS:
- love the hood but sometimes its way too big to bring along.
- small aperture (wish it was 4)
- built is a bit plastiky (guess thats necessary for weight reduction)
- hunts in low light
- dust-loving focus and zoom rubber grip
PROS:
- color from the images it produces are excellent
- sharp and nice contrast from 70 to 300
- very quiet
- love how you can ASSIST the AF with the manual focus ring.
- no visible PF even 100% wide open
- virtually CA-free
- focus limiter very handy
- weight is reasonably light
- balances very well with the A700
- perfect range for A900
For some reason, I can't take it off the camera ;D
