Sony SAL-75300 Pro Reviews

www.whatdigitalcamera.com‘s review Edit

Optically the Sony is a pretty good performer, with excellent performance throughout the aperture range at 75mm, and a similarly consistent performance at full reach. Likewise, the chromatic aberration chart shows reasonable results at 75mm, though this is spoiled by increasing fringing as the focal length is stretched. Ironically, the 300mm sweet spot of f/8 showing the best resolution at that focal length is where chromatic aberration hits its nadir, with a 1-2.2 pixel bleed from centre to corner.

The Sony 75-300mm ƒ/4.5-5.6 is a capable budget zoom lens, and set to the right aperture and focal length you can get images of a high optical quality. However, it has a few weak points - image softness and chromatic aberration above 100mm, and we're not big fans of lenses whose front filters turn while focusing or zooming. You shouldn't feel bad if you got this lens as part of the A100 twin-lens kit, and it is certainly a good second lens if you already have the 18-70mm lens and want to stay loyal to the Sony system. However, at these price points, you might be better off with the worthy Tamron 70-300mm macro. Or, if you can find it, you may find identical performance with the Konica Minolta 75-300mm ƒ/4.5-5.6.

Camera Labs‘s review Edit

The Sony 75-300mm is a very useful addition to the standard DT 18-70mm kit lens, greatly extending the available range to include powerful telephoto facilities. This makes it ideal for portraits, sports and wildlife photography, or simply getting closer to any distant subjects.
