The world of mirrorless camera lenses is strangely devoid of professional 300mm lenses. That is, until now with a lightweight f/2.8.
The world of mirrorless camera lenses is strangely devoid of professional 300mm lenses. That is, until now. Sony has released a brand new full-frame 300mm f/2.8 G Master lens and I had a chance test it out.
When I first picked up the new 300mm I couldn’t believe it was actually an f/2.8 lens. Weighing in at only 52 ounces without the collar and being about the size of a compact 70-200mm zoom, I was stunned by how small Sony managed to make it. I had no issues handholding the lens.The lens hood is easily removable with a button press and seems sturdy enough to protect the front element from bright light and the occasional bump.
The 300mm delivers vibrant contrast and resolves to such a high degree at f/2.8 that I basically noticed no improvement when stopping the lens down. The lens is also extremely flat shooting, which is to say that the corners are in focus when the center is too. I rarely see a lens that delivers this resolving power regardless of the aperture chosen.
The generous lens hood combined with high-quality coatings makes the Sony 300mm resistant to lens flare and ghosting. I didn’t see any issues with chromatic aberrations — longitudinal or otherwise. If Sony did introduce optical compromises to make the lens this compact, I’m having a hard time finding them.
