Sony FE 400-800mm F6.3-8 G OSS Lens
GET EXTREMELY CLOSE
The Sony FE 400-800mm F6.3-8 G OSS offers exceptional super-telephoto reach, perfect for wildlife, sports, and action. Using optional teleconverters, push your focal length to an astonishing 1600mm, allowing you to capture distant subjects with exceptional detail and bring the action right to you. Featuring six ED glass elements, fast AF tracking, internal zoom, and weather-sealed durability, this lens delivers sharp, high-contrast images even at extreme focal lengths. With 120fps burst shooting compatibility, and smooth zoom speed control, it is ideal for both photography and cinematic video.
Go long with the first α Lens: 400-800 mm super-telephoto zoom
The FE 400-800mm F6.3-8 G OSS is the first α Lens to cover a 400 mm to 800 mm super-telephoto range. An optional 2x teleconverter can extend maximum focal length to 1600 mm. The internal zoom means the length of the lens does not change, and the centre of gravity stays within a small range for stable handling. Smooth, easy zoom ring rotation allows precise zooming, while careful design prevents accidental focal length changes.
Cutting-edge optical design gives high resolution and natural bokeh throughout the zoom range
Six ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements effectively control chromatic aberration. Flare and ghosting in backlit conditions are also thoroughly suppressed. An 11-blade circular aperture helps to create beautiful ball bokeh amid exceptionally smooth, creamy background bokeh when shooting with a narrow depth of field.
Fast, precise AF captures even fast-moving subjects
Two precision linear motors drive the lens’s focus group for fast, accurate focusing. Tracking easily keeps up with the 120 fps maximum burst speed of the α9 III, and continues uninterrupted even while zooming so important moments are not lost. A focus-range limiter (FULL / 10m-NEAR / ∞-8m) can be used to optimise operation for different subject distances. Focus breathing is suppressed for refined movie quality and quiet operation expands the gamut of possible applications.
Solid support for handheld or tripod-mounted shooting
The optically stabilised FE 400-800mm F6.3-8 G OSS extends to 800 mm, but weighs just 2475 g (87.4 oz) and can be used handheld without shake-induced blur. Stabilisation is even better with an α body that includes image stabilisation. When using a tripod, the mount foot can be quickly rotated for horizontal or vertical orientation. Durable components, optimised balance, and a non-removable foot maximise reliability and performance.
High-level control and reliability for any situation
Three focus hold buttons at 90° increments around the barrel allow easy access in any orientation. Other functions can be assigned to the buttons as needed. Internal zoom and a dust/moisture resistant design maximise reliability. The front element has a fluorine coating that repels contaminants and makes the lens easier to clean. The lens hood is a new design with a lock button and filter opening for easy operation.
