If you're serious about shooting sports, nature, or wildlife, or just about any subject that moves and needs to be shot from a distance, this is a lens that you'll want to have. Its large f/2.8 maximum aperture makes it possible to use motion-stopping shutter speeds when shooting fast action, and to control depth-of-field for creative defocusing. Three ED elements reduce aberration to a minimum, ensuring high resolution and high contrast image quality.

SSM (Super Sonic wave Motor)

A built-in lens motor for faster automatic focusing with high torque at low speed, quick start/stop response, and quiet, smooth operation.

2 DMF (Direct Manual Focus) Modes

Allow you to quickly revert to manual focus by just turning the manual focus ring of the lens.

Internal Focusing System

Internal lens elements move, so the overall length does not change -- creating an auto-focus zoom lens that doesn’t affect the balance of your camera.

Lightweight Design

A strong, light magnesium lens barrel makes shooting more comfortable even on long wildlife or sports assignments.

ED (Extra-low Dispersion) Glass

Three precision ED Glass lenses correct chromatic aberrations to provide extremely sharp telephoto images distant subjects as well as dramatic sports close-ups.

Versatile Focus Hold

Four focus hold buttons in different lens locations, plus electronic slider focus range selector switch.

A wonderful wild life lens. A wonderful wild life lens! I have been using for about a year and half along with the 2X converter when I think I need it. The more I use it the more I like it. I'm very pleased with the photos I have taken with this lens. Built like a tank yet provides elegant controls and features. April 2, 2012
5 STARS ACROSS THE BOARD! I purchased this lens for my A700 about 2 months ago. Although I have only used it on a couple of outings, I have been completely impressed from the start. The focus speed is blazing fast and accurate and the clarity is stunning. I have included a couple of images taken this week. May 8, 2011
King Of The Hill ! I bought this lens when it first came out, I have only used it for wildlife and for the space shuttle launch. It is a awesome lens! You can visit my photo gallery on my website to see the images I have taken with this lens; http://www.whistlerdiscoverytours.com/james_fougere_images.html January 4, 2011
Excellent lens I've been using this lens since 6/08. I shoot mainly wildlife and it takes wonderful pictures (I have it on an A900 and most of my shots are with the 1.4 TC). I did make a hand grip out of a bicycle grip, wooden dowel, and hanger bolt (picture included). It really helps with moving targets. When connecting the lens to the camera it developed a wobble after one year that required repair. It has worked fine since then. February 10, 2010
