bringing things closer is a big part of your photographic repertoire.\u00a0 Whether it\u2019s wildlife, sports, or a long distance scenic, the ability to have a specific element fill a larger portion of the frame is important.\u00a0 In this type of situation, a telephoto lens is invaluable.\u00a0 The Sony 300mm f\/2.8 lens (SSM G) is one such telephoto.<\/p>\n<h4>Magnification<\/h4>\n<p>The lens allows you to get up-close-and-personal with whatever subject you choose to pursue.\u00a0\u00a0 It falls in the middle of Sony\u2019s telephoto lineup, and carries the largest aperture at 2.8.\u00a0 The lens has a fixed focal length because it does not have a zoom capability.<\/p>\n<h4>Size and Weight<\/h4>\n<p>Physically, this lens is big.\u00a0 Its overall length is 242mm (9.53 inches), about average for a lens of this focal length.\u00a0\u00a0 Its maximum diameter is 122mm (4.8 inches), considerably larger than most of this focal length.\u00a0 Not surprising for a lens with a maximum aperture of 2.8.\u00a0 Weight-wise, it\u2019s pretty heavy, coming in at 2325g (5lbs, 2oz).<\/p>\n<h4>Controls<\/h4>\n<p>The lens provides a number of controls which will allow you to adjust the way it performs.\u00a0 You can select automatic or manual focus, focus range, focus hold, and audible beep when focus is achieved.\u00a0 Specific details on each of these is beyond the scope of this article.\u00a0 Let me simply say that you can adjust focus performance to suit almost any situation.<\/p>\n<h4>Cost<\/h4>\n<p>Price is a significant element of this lens, coming in at around $7000 US retail.\u00a0 That isn\u2019t to say that you can\u2019t get one for less.\u00a0 But it\u2019s clear that this lens is not for the feint of wallet.<\/p>\n<h4>Packaging<\/h4>\n<p>Inside the box, you will find a well thought out package, which includes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A padded aluminum case with keys<\/li>\n<li>A sturdy lens hood made of carbon fiber<\/li>\n<li>A vinyl lens cover with cord<\/li>\n<li>A carry strap for the lens case<\/li>\n<li>A carry strap for the lens (connects to loop on the lens body)<\/li>\n<li>A drop-in 42mm clear filter and holder with filter rotation (for polarizing filter)<\/li>\n<li>A drop-in 42mm polarizing filter with vinyl case<\/li>\n<li>A rear lens cap<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Teleconverters<\/h4>\n<p>The lens is designed to work with both of Sony\u2019s tele-converters (which are more like matched multipliers). \u00a0Using the 1.4X, will give you a focal length of 420mm, and a maximum aperture of f4.0.\u00a0 Using the 2x, you will get a focal length of 600mm, and a maximum aperture of F5.6.\u00a0 This is really nice because the lens will autofocus with both tele-converters.<\/p>\n<h4>Usability<\/h4>\n<p>I own this lens, and have shot with it for a few years now.\u00a0 The Minolta 300mm f2.8 is also in my possession.\u00a0 I like both, but prefer the Sony for two simple reasons; it\u2019s faster to autofocus, and it\u2019s significantly quieter.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of usability, I couldn\u2019t ask for more.\u00a0 I get clear, sharp images at all apertures, although I primarily shoot at f6.7.\u00a0 And while too heavy to continuously hand-hold (I can only get 4 or 5 shots before I have to put it down), I find that the addition of a monopod can compensate for hand-holding without adding excess carry weight.<\/p>\n<h4>Versatility<\/h4>\n<p>This lens is versatile.\u00a0 I used it, and the Minolta, as my primary lens, for a number of years.\u00a0 More recently, I have switched to a Minolta 600mm f4.0 lens for the added magnification it provides.\u00a0 Still, I bring the Sony along where ever I go, for the ease of use, and weight reduction.<\/p>\n<p>I should also mention that Sony doesn\u2019t make this lens anymore.\u00a0 It was discontinued in 2012.\u00a0 The Sony 300mm f2.8 SSM G II lens replaced it.\u00a0 Given the wonderful performance of its predecessor, I expect great things from the new version.<\/p>\n<h4>Conclusion<\/h4>\n<p>The original version of the Sony 300mm f\/2.8 lens takes great shots.\u00a0 So, I wouldn\u2019t hesitate to buy one in good used condition, or brand new on clearance like I did.\u00a0 You\u2019ll be getting a great performer that will bring the world a little closer.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019re like
