Reach is easy to buy and hard to hold still · review
Sony’s APS-C super-telephoto zoom, reaching 350 mm with optical stabilization and fast linear-motor autofocus, sold by Amazon.com for about $898.
The SEL70350G reaches 350 mm, which Sony gives as 525 mm equivalent on APS-C, in a 22-ounce lens. That is light for the range.
It is f/4.5 at 70 mm and f/6.3 at 350 mm. At full reach, early mornings and late evenings will push the ISO up.
An XD linear motor gives fast, quiet focus and tracking, and Optical SteadyShot steadies handheld shots.
Amazon.com sold it at about $898 with 11 units left.

An equivalent focal length is a calculation: it describes the field of view on a full-frame camera. The focal length engraved on the lens never changes. Sony states that 70-350 mm on APS-C frames like 105-525 mm on full frame.
Yes, Optical SteadyShot in the lens.
It is an APS-C E-mount lens, and the a6700’s tracking autofocus suits wildlife and sports with it.
At $898, it is the 4 cheapest of the 4 models in this category published here.
8.5/ 10
