Sony India Launches World’s Lightest Large-aperture Telephoto Prime Lens G Master FE 300mm F2.8 GM OSS

New Delhi [India], February 29: Sony India is pleased to announce the release of the world’s lightest 300 mm telephoto prime lens G Master™ FE 300mm F2.8 GM OSS, a 35 mm full-frame a™ (Alpha™) E-mount lens (product name SEL300F28GM) with a maximum aperture of F2.8.

This lens offers the supreme detailing, which is the hallmark of G master as well as high-speed, high-precision AF (autofocus) performance. In addition, the lightweight design of approximately 1470g (excluding tripod mount) and excellent weight balance allows you to capture sharp, dynamic and decisive moments such as those of fast-moving sports or agile animals with handheld shooting.

Paired with the Alpha 9 III (to be announced soon) that is simultaneously announced, high-speed continuous shooting with AF/AE tracking up to 120 frames per second is possible. Even subjects with complex and diversified movements can be tracked with high precision.

It is an ideal match for lightweight camera bodies by reducing the load on the photographer, minimising fatigue during long handheld shooting sessions. It is also compatible with an optional teleconverter, allowing you to shoot in the telephoto range of up to 600 mm (equivalent to 900 mm when using with an APS-C camera).

“Ever since our announcement of the development of this 300mm lens, we have been thrilled by the positive response from photographers worldwide eagerly anticipating its release. With the introduction of this new lens, we aim to cater to the diverse needs and shooting scenarios of both professional and advanced amateur photographers,” said Mukesh Srivastava, Head of Digital Imaging Business at Sony India.
