Frequently Bought Together
Recently Viewed
What kind of photography is the 70–300 mm F4.5–5.6 G SSM lens best suited for?
With its flexible 70–300 mm telephoto range and G Series optics, this lens is well suited for sports, wildlife, portraits, and general telephoto work. Its high contrast and pleasing background blur make it versatile for outdoor shooting.
Does the 70–300 mm F4.5–5.6 G SSM work on full-frame and APS-C A-mount cameras?
Yes, this lens is full-frame compatible, so it covers the entire sensor on full-frame A-mount bodies and provides a longer effective reach on APS-C models. On APS-C cameras, its angle of view corresponds roughly to a 105–450 mm equivalent range.
How does the autofocus perform on the 70–300 mm F4.5–5.6 G SSM?
Autofocus is driven by a high-torque Super Sonic Wave Motor (SSM) that provides smooth, quiet, and precise focusing. A rear focusing design further supports faster autofocus response and a shorter minimum focusing distance.
How does the lens control chromatic aberration?
The lens uses ED (extra-low dispersion) glass elements to reduce chromatic aberration and improve sharpness and color fidelity. This helps deliver clear, sharp edge-to-edge description even in challenging light.
Does the 70–300 mm F4.5–5.6 G SSM have optical image stabilization?
No, this lens does not include optical image stabilization in the lens itself, so stabilization depends on the camera body's SteadyShot support.
How much does the 70–300 mm F4.5–5.6 G SSM lens weigh?
The lens weighs about 760 g and measures roughly 82.5 × 135.5 mm, making it relatively portable for a premium telephoto zoom while still offering solid build quality.
What kind of background blur does this lens produce?
The lens features a 9-blade circular aperture that creates smoother, more rounded background blur (bokeh) for beautiful defocus effects, making it a strong choice for portraits and subject isolation.
How close can the 70–300 mm F4.5–5.6 G SSM focus?
It offers a 1.2 m minimum focus distance and a 0.25× maximum magnification, making it fairly capable for close-up shots in addition to its telephoto reach.
What controls does the lens offer for easier operation?
The lens includes a focus hold button and a focus range limiter for more convenient handling. Combined with its quiet SSM autofocus, it's designed for smooth, precise operation in the field.
How much does the 70–300 mm F4.5–5.6 G SSM cost?

Given that, these models can go on sale from time to time, and there are several other opportunities to save on price like through their group discounts for education, healthcare and military/veterans (ID.me & Unidays) along with their free loyalty program that gives up to 5% back in points.
