Q: QuestionIs this lens compatible with the Sony A7 & A6000 full frame cameras?(6 answers)
A: AnswerHi, the A6000 is not a full frame camera. Nonetheless, yes, you can use this with both A6000 and A7 cameras. Thanks_MitchAnswered by SonyListens
- A: AnswerHi Kebe, It is about 2 and a half stop when handheld. It works in conjunction with each other. The camera will control the Roll, X&Y, and the lens will control the Pitch&Yaw. If you turn off IS on the lens then the body will control all 5. Best regards, Zander

Q: QuestionIs the Sony FE 70-300 G OSS an internal or external zoom?(5 answers)

Q: QuestionHow dependable is this lens and does it need an extended warranty?(3 answers)
A: AnswerI did not purchase the warranty. I trust the reviews I read about reliability. But the BB warranty replaces the lens if you damage it. Scratch, drop, soak and general abuse can justify the plan. I had the lens out is the San Francisco rains without a problem.Answered by Spinner60
- A: AnswerI have used that lens the 24-240 and I own the 70-300. They are both good lenses but the main thing to consider is what range you are trying to cover. I also own the 24-105 G lens so for me the 70-300 was the way to go. If you’re looking for a single lens to use I would recommend the 24-105 it’s what I have on my camera most of the time on vacation. I only switch to the 70-300 in situations where I can’t walk closer to the subject - like sports of wildlife. But if you have no lens right now and want to cover as much variety as possible the 24-240 is a good choice. Something also worth mentioning - the G isn’t just about the glass - it also has better focusing elements. Both the 24-105g and the 70-300g lock focus much faster than the 24-240 especially in low light.

- A: AnswerI'm using the lens on a A6300. I find that it works great and don't use a teleconverter. These were shot about 40 feet away.

LOVE IT!!
I was hesitant on this lens because of the f stop, but with the f2.8 being almost double the price I decided to give it a go! I was totally blown away with how much I love this lens! It's super sharp and quick to focus. I've been able to take some amazing photos & video of my fiancé surfing with this lens. Of course video is a little unsteady at 300mm but nothing you can't correct in post! I use this lens primarily outside in good lighting, but I've been able to get some amazing photos out of it in low light setting as well (with the help of Lightroom). Highly recommend!

Excellent focus and depth
Although it's taking a bit to learn the new SONY camera, this lens has allowed me to capture some amazing pics with tremendous depth and richness of color. I like nature photography so this lens allows me to get close shots while keeping my distance from the critters. I primarily use auto focus but the few times I've used the manual focus the pictures have come out well also.
