Great Zoom Lens For Wildlife Not To Big and Not To Heavy

Excellent telephoto lens for the price. Not too heavy, especially for a telephoto. Works well with a Sony a6700

I’ve been using the Sony 70–350mm for a while now and I’m honestly really happy with it. It’s super lightweight for that range, so I can carry it around all day without any problem. The sharpness really surprised me, especially at the long end, and autofocus is quick and accurate even when shooting animals. Stabilization also does a great job, so I can get sharp shots handheld without stressing too much. Overall, it just feels like a really solid and reliable lens that I actually enjoy using.

Excellent lens for my camera, clear and sharp as you would expect from Sony

I bought this as a telephoto mainly for wildlife but at the wide end is good enough for some landscape photography. Another reason for buying this lens was to reduce weight along with the purchase of the a6700 having previously shot with the FUJI X-S20 and the SIGMA 100 to 400 contemporary lens.

Zoom and focus is very good . Overall satisfied with this lens

This tiny great-reach lens is incredible. It has fantastic quality and is incredibly sharp. I haven’t taken it off my camera since I got it. I absolutely love it and have taken amazing images with it. Honestly, I’m not rich and I bought it on instalment but it’s worth every penny.

This is my first zoom lens and I couldn't be more satisfied. This is such a cool lens and so easy to use that it has become my go to lens for most of the scenarios.

I choose Sony A6700 and 70-350 len because 1 is the weight (i walk for hours) . 2 is the len zoom distance (up to 525mm) for wildlife photography. 3 the costs is lower compare to a full frame and a prime len. lastly I like the colours of photo taken.

I bought this during 11/11 sales and could not be happier, I've only gone out a handful of times with it to a few parks so far but I've managed to get some amazing shots with it already.

I took this lens from the store straight to a local park to try out the OSS feature. I'm not a young man and my hands are not as steady as they once were, so to be able to hand hold a 350mm lens and have the photos tack sharp was more than I had hoped for. It feels well made. All adjustments are smooth with just the right amount of tension. It fits well in the hand. The controls fall right where I need them. It was a natural fit from the first. I'm going to be loving this lens.

I just got this lens a month ago, I'm very proud to be able to capture birds more clearly with this lens.

Bought this lens to compliment my shorter focal length lenses. Brilliant!!

Bought this for travel, because lugging the 200-600 around is absolutely too much unless I’m specifically going on a wildlife adventure. I must say, the images produced are surprisingly better than the 200-600, but maybe that’s just me. Also fits better with the A6700 that I shoot with.

Fantastic zoom lens. Lightweight with a lot of reach. Actually better in low light situations than I thought it would be not having the widest aperture but good enough for moon photos and excellent for wildlife. Literally does not come off my a6700 as it's soo good. Od you want a light travel friendly zoom lens then this is the one to purchase. Might not have the zoom of the bigger higher end lens' but try carrying them around with you all day without moaning about the weight. I've done a whole shoot trackside at Brands Hatch, walked round my local RSPB without even breaking a sweat. The only zoom lens you really need...and can actually afford

Bought this lens 2 weeks ago as I felt the quality would be better than other options. Lens has already failed. Autofocus no longer working, no Aperture number displayed, camera says lens is not recognized. For a premium priced lens from Sony this is very disappointing.

Very best telephoto lens. Sharp image and fast focusing. Recommended lens.

Bought this at a discount after attending the Sony workshop for my A6700. I loved that the auto focus is very fast when I switch the different focus areas to recompose my shots quickly. And the light weight of this lens. Plus the button on the lens is so convenient for me to use it to lock my focus or programme it for other uses. Overall I’m super happy about this lens.

The Sony E 70–350mm F4.5–6.3 G OSS is a powerful telephoto zoom ideal for wildlife photography. It offers excellent reach, image stabilization, and sharp results across the zoom range. Lightweight and compact, it’s perfect for tracking fast-moving animals in the wild with Sony APS-C cameras.

Been contemplating getting this lens for a long time and pulled the trigger when it was on sale. Lens is sharp and produces good quality photos. Love it on my a6400!

I was amazed with the sharpness and dreamy bokeh that this lens produced. A bit on the bigger side but it is worth it as I can approach my subject without startling them (example shown in this street photography that I took of this cat with 350mm zoom range). https://www.instagram.com/p/DIk0IzwpPqa/?igsh=MW9nN3RqOGs2Ynllag%3D%3D

Light and easy to use. Works great with my Sony A6700

After getting the 90mm macro lens I was needing a long zoom to complement it and settled on the 70-350mm. As I am using it with the A6700 APSC it gives a 1.4x magnifying effect which when combined with the clarity and sharpness yields terrific photos of distant objects (planes, birds etc). I'm new to G lenses, so please excuse the gushing praise over the SEL70-210 I used before (but suffered from lens mold).

Brilliant Lens, what more can I say other than I'm extremely pleased with the quality of pictures the lens is capable of!

Very sharp and quite light for the reach it gives, hardly ever leaves my camera.

Fantastic lens. Looking forward to trying it out soon.

Great lens. Sharp and easy to handle. Pricing could be more competive even with the year end sales discount.

Bought last month after months of saving, love to take photos just dont have the funds to buy equipment. Coupled to a a6000 that was donated from a friend after his upgrade to a6700. Images look fantastic on this lens, only one i have so carnt compare to others.

Actually got to try this lens out properly today and the images are amazing

Camera used for pics of world final in karting at South Garda, Italy

After playing around at home learning the features. Got this my first time out. Still have much to learn but had a lot of fun getting outdoors

This lens have flexibility on focal lenght and great fpcusing object

I use this with my Sony A6700, great combo in the field. Lightweight lens, fast focusing, lens OSS combined with 6700 5 axis IBIS and subject tracking is ideal for birds floating or flying. Highly recommend!

Haven't been using this lens for long, but the image quality so far has been excellent at both ends of the range. It sits nicely on my a6700 and not front heavy at all, I thought it maybe would have been. The zoom operation is nice and smooth, not loose with any hint of losing the position you set it to when hands off. Very happy to recommend.

A beautifully engineered lens with superb sharpness allowing me to take landscape and wildlife images that, to me as an amateur are more than acceptable. The attached image taken with this lens has been cropped/edited in Lightroom.

I was reluctant to spend this much on a lens for my a6400 camera but am happy that I did. All functions of this lens have exceeded my expectations. The clarity is Sharp. The OSS works wonders. It is a real joy to use. Thank You Sony for designing it and Thank You China for manufacturing a high quality product. I highly recommend this lens!

I have been using the lens from a week, and have observed issues with clarity and focus at 350mm. Pictures turn out to be soft and not having enough detail. Would recommend it for shorter zoom ranges and still images. When trying to take panning shots of birds or animals most of the time they are out of focus. I’m using it with Sony a6700. If you are serious about long range zoom, sports or wildlife I would suggest sharper and better lens. This lens are good for a beginner or hobbyist.

I have struggled since this lens was new to get a good image at anything above the minimum zoom level. I even bought a new A6400 BODY AS i though the problem must have been my A5000 not being up to the job. Alas, same issue and I have tried all updates and settings to no avail. My other 2 Sony lenses work perfectly, so it is a manufacturing fault but Sony will not even let me send it to them to be checked - even after online support giving me dozens of things to check and change.

350mm focal length (equivalent to 525 on full frame) allows you to get unbelievable shots. Great picture quality even at max zoom. OSS means it's very easy to use even handheld at max zoom.

The best camera companion I've ever used. It's just perfect lens that has not only the best zoom I exactly need, but also has the ability to produce close range pictures in a magnificent shape and finish. The weight of the lens is excellent and it looks beautiful on the camera body. It's a bargain and a must have.

The perfect lens to work alongside my new A7, as new to photography sometimes you need a little help! when fully understood it set up a new challenge to enhance and extend into the future

Like the light weight of this lens for the amount of reach that you can get with a A6700 body. It is an excellent choice for travel and the image quality is reasonably good enough for me.

I needed more reach for my A6700 when photographing animals at the Phoenix Zoo. I read the reviews and decided to give it a try. So glad that I bought this lens. Very fast focus and very sharp images. I am going to the Salt River to Photograph Wild Horses in a few weeks. This lens will be on my camera the whole time. Good job Sony

The Sony products are good however the customer service is pretty terrible. Had an offer for cash back and had to chase and cash to try and get the refund.

I am using this on my A7C II in crop mode to get equivalent 525mm. Amazing reach for this price and such a lightweight lens, and I put up with only having 15Mp resolution. Would be ideal on higher Mp full frame cameras. Using full frame there is virtually no vignette at 70mm. Up to 200mm vignette just affects the corners, so much better than APS-C crop. Even beyond that a square crop will avoid most of the vignette up to 300mm.

I use this lens for wildlife photography, it’s a great lens. It is sharp and great colour.

I purchased this lens about 1 month ago, it's light for it's size, excellent picture quality, and at a good price.

Should have gotten it earlier. Overall sharpness and autofocus is better than the 55-210mm which is already a very good lens. The extra reach is great at 525mm(35mm equivalent)

It gives me the extra reach for wildlife and street photography with great sharpnes, colors and dof. Also size and weight are fine for travel photography.

I bought this a few weeks ago with an A6700 and put it to good use a few days later on a trip to London and this weekend at Chinese New Year celebrations in Southampton. The quality of images is amazing and so much better than the 55-210mm that it replaced. The autofocus is quick and accurate, especially in continuous mode, and the build quality is reassuringly chunky.

I have alpha a6400 apsc and it will give me a 500mm focal length for just 600 pounds

I bought this lens 4 months ago and it is amazing.

Sharp and fast focus for sony aspc lens for wildlife photography Cheap with more focal length 105-525mm on sony aspc camera weather sealed look premium

Bought during black friday event at a good price. Lens is performing well. I'm sure there are better lens but I'm sure they come at a much higher price - I'm not a pro! OSS works well. Focus is good and images have been coming out great...just want some better weather conditions now to really put it through its paces.

A recent purchase to go alongside the 16 55 G lens used on A6700. For the size it’s a light lens to carry but offers a great focal range , not taken a few test shots at all zoom distances and all photos are sharp, No AF issue’s encountered either. Very happy with this lens , maybe Sony would offer a faster zoom in future. Purchased lens for an upcoming holiday and I don’t think I will be disappointed with the results , it certainly won’t be the lens at fault. Only downside I think is no provision of a lens case , surprisingly being a G lens.

one of the best aps-c lenses ive bought ,really sharp .

Bought this to combo with the a6700. Good combo. Fast AF.

Bought it as a zoom lens to take wildlife lens.....

Very good zoom lens. Not exactly designed to do low light shooting, as expected. Daylight pictures are very, very good.
