  1. Paul Costalas –

    This lens fills a gap in the Sony APS-C lens line up, and it does so more than competently. After several weeks of frequent use, my quandary before my return period expires in January is how badly do I need that gap filled, and whether this money would be better spent against a 200-600 or 100-400 and just using a recent A7R model. Many of my issues are not with the lens, but with Sony’s APS-C bodies.Things I like:Very light for the focal lengthCompact size fits well with my A6500 and A6000Very Good sharpnessSeems well madeAutofocus is reasonably fastThings I don’t like:The A6500/6000 are not well suited to long lenses. You need a grip to hold any extreme tele reasonably steady.The controls on the Sony crop bodies lack a front control wheel, which makes hampers changes during action.The results are quite sharp, but lack the snap of the 100-400 or 200-600 at 18mp APS-C on the A7RIII.The autofocus is more than acceptable, but lacks the speed of its bigger siblings which I have rented.The max opening of F/6.3 is slow for the 350mm length. It is also not dazzling at that FL and aperture. F/8 is the true minimum.No teleconverter is available. No focus limit switch.For birding 350mm is a minimum. Cropping exacerbates issues of sharpness and high ISO from the slow aperture.If I am traveling light, this is a terrific option with the compact bodies. This lens plus the Zeiss 16-70/F4 covers all you are likely to need (maybe adding a little Sigma prime for indoors) and the whole thing fits in a small bag or waist pack. The question is whether one travels light often enough to need this compact kit. In a perfect world for me, Sony would make a compact 300mm/F4 prime and converter like Pentax and Nikon, and their crop bodies would have front control wheels and no AA filters. Life isn’t perfect.

    Best telephoto for Sony apsc hands down. Great handling and takes very sharp photos.

    Light weight. Great OSS. With 525mm equivalent focal length at most, it is a great compact length to take out. And maintain high quality in G family.

    It’s very compact, and I just shot the photos from a high tower. The 350mm photos are sharp.

    As sharp as sharp can be. Sure the max aperture is slower, but what you get in return is a very compact zoom. I walked with my a6400 and that lens attached to my backpack shoulder strap with a clip for half a day on a mountain and the weight or length was not overwhelming. A must if you own a Sony apsc body and want to do some wildlife or landscape photography. The image stabilisation works great, but I haven’t tested it extensively; at 350mm, I got sharp results at 1/160 sec. AF is excellent, really no complaints about this lens, except it is hard to leave it out of my camera bag. You never know when Big Foot might show up, better be ready for him.

    Been looking at this lens and with a small price drop, I purchased it. As a photo enthusiast, no regrets. Very sharp and accurate. A great addition to my Sony A6300. Still have the 55-210, which I will keep for now, but the Sony G 70-350mm OSS takes me to a new level in photography. I continue to watch the price of the the Sony 18-105 G and hope to purchase it as well. A sample image was shot recently with the 70-350.

  8. Stephen Pryce –

    Perfect for zoom shots.

  9. J Strachan –

    Went from the 55-210mm lens to this one and wow! Not only does it get me closer to my favourite bird subjects but the whole overall quality of the photos is better.
