The 70-300mm lens is a highly versatile option for sports and wildlife in particular and the market abounds with low cost choices that serve well. This lens is one of a different breed though, at a much higher price level and including, in Sony's jargon, their Optical Steady Shot mechanism.
Generally very good sharpness; Central CA almost eliminated; Ease of use; OSS system; Well made; Unique focal length for E mount
Edges soften as we zoom in; Edge CA high; High price
The Sony FE 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 G OSS makes a solid case for itself by offering a useful focal range incorporating the longest reach of any E-mount lens, and all in a relatively compact package.
A handy lens to have in the bag if you are on a budget. Images are for the most part clear and sharp until you get to the big end. Sharpness drops away quite a bit at 300mm. Macro performance is surprisingly good for a 1:2 zoom lens. Quite a decent lens for the money.

Good image captures with Sony A77. Good quality-price ratio.
I got this lens to complement my SONY16-50MM f/2.8 on my A77M2. I mainly use it for nature photography. The construction is a perfect balance of weather-sealed solid construction without being too heavy to carry along on hikes. (Of course f/2.8 would be better, but imagine the weight!
The 70-300mm G lens is a beautiful zoom. Pictures are sharp as a tack across the focal length and aperture. I use it both on mt a77 and a850 with wonderful results. The only draw back is the weight, it's pretty heavy.
Rugged design; fast focus; superior image quality
