Pros: speed auto focus, image sharpening, weather sealing, accessory functions

Cons: weight, lack of a protective cap

Opinion: The SAL300F28G2 is a telephoto lens from the Gold range of Sony that is being compared to the previous version, improved the autofocus speed (4x) and an anti-reflective coating nanocrystals to act to improve the contrast and detail of the functions immagini.rnTra "ancillary" there is the possibility to set, beyond the minimum distance in focus of 6.4 meters, also a minimum and maximum distance defined by the user as desired (eg, wanting to keep the fire in a range of well-defined meters); then there is the possibility to store the distance of focus to be recalled later when holding in check a site / subject but while you do other shots other lens soggetti.rnQuesta definitely the best with the most advanced cameras such as the Sony A99 and the A77II, and right with it, I noticed that the AF-C (continuous autofocus) of A77II is well-supported by the lens, always focusing on (or near ... ) following the subject, and even herendo you lose your focus, however, the recovery is very fast. Excellent image clarity even at room temperature, almost disarming compared to other lenses (economic) utilizzate.rnL'ho also tried the Sony 1.4x tele-extender and I have to say that the optical performance is virtually unchanged, as do the speed of focus (the difference is very small). I have instead tried a 2x tele-extender so I reserve further integrate the opinione.rnrnL'aspetto negative, as indicated, I can point out is the weight (2.3kg well) that are quick to hear if constantly kept in hand and the lack of a protective cap of the main lens, as the soft standard supplied becomes unusable if you apply a cover camouflage protection in neoprene.rnrnPer the rest is definitely a lens to have for the kind of pictures for which it was born (nature, sport, action).
