Sony 300mm f/2.8G SSM II
Available June 20, 2013
The Sony 300mm f/2.8G SSM II is the update to the first generation Sony 300mm f/2.8G SSM. The second generation’s SSM autofocus motor features a new LSI drive circuit that provides even faster autofocus speeds, with four times faster tracking focus speed. Also new is the addition of Sony’s premium Nano AR Coating for eliminating internal ghosting and lens flare.
Like its predecessor, the 300 f/2.8G II provides high-contrast images with very smooth background blur. The optics have been tweaked to further reduce spherical aberration, while the three ED elements help to minimize chromatic aberrations at wide apertures. It has an internal focusing system that allows the lens to stay the same dimension at all focus distances, with two DMF focus modes for quick manual focus tweaks. It still has the four focus hold buttons seen on the original, as well the focus limit switch with programable near / far distances for customizing performance. Its light magnesium construction is very solid yet lightweight, and both the front and back of the lens and focus ring offer weather sealing for shooting in less-than-favorable conditions.
Special note: Just like the previous version, don’t lose the lens hood. It costs $1,100 to replace! No, I’m not kidding.
