Get extremely close to your subjects from a relaxing distance. The SAL-75-300 zoom lens lets you take incredible close-up portraits without making your subject nervous.

A compact zoom lens that brings you closer to action and portrait subjects. This compact, lightweight 4X zoom lens is a great value and an ideal choice for covering outdoor activities and sports action, even in large stadium locations. Its wide zoom range of 112.5mm to 450mm (35mm equivalent) handles both middle-ground subjects and portraits shot from a relaxing distance, so people won?t be nervous -- even captures intimate details and natural wonders close at hand.

Compact Lightweight Design - Gives you a super telephoto lens you can shoot with comfortably all day.

Long 4X Zoom Capability - One lens takes you from close-ups, to portraits, to super telephoto zooms -- covering a 35mm-equivalent range from 112.5mm to 450mm.

Close Shooting - You can capture wildlife, faces and architectural details about as close as five feet to the camera.

DSLR and 35mm Performance - Designed for superior performance with both DSLR APS-size CCD sensors and 35mm format cameras.

Circular Aperture - Gives light sources a pleasing circular defocused effect in backgrounds.
