Sony FE 400-800mm f6.3-8 OSS G Lens

Sony's FE 400-800mm f/6.3-8 G OSS Lens is the longest-reaching E-mount lens to date, designed as a super-telephoto powerhouse for wildlife, nature, and sports photography. Expanding the G Series lineup, this lens delivers premium quality at a lower cost, further narrowing the gap between G and GM lenses. It features internal zoom for better handling and dual linear motors for fast, smooth autofocus. Optical SteadyShot stabilization offers three distinct modes, alongside a focus limiter and three customizable focus hold buttons for enhanced control. A fixed, rotating tripod foot ensures stability and sharper shots.

As the first Alpha zoom to reach 800mm, it supports 1.4x and 2x teleconverters, extending its reach to 1120mm and 1600mm, making it ideal for birding and distant wildlife photography. Its zoom ring is designed for smooth, precise adjustments, reducing accidental focal length shifts. Outperforming Sony's FE 200-600mm f/5.6-6.3 G OSS in range and overall performance, it remains relatively lightweight at 5.45 lb.

A short rotational throw allows for rapid focal adjustments on the fly, while a front filter thread expands creative possibilities in different lighting conditions. Multiple function switches on the lens barrel provide quick access to AF/MF, OSS, and focus limiting settings.

With six ED elements, the lens minimizes flare and chromatic aberrations, delivering high-contrast, sharp images. An 11-blade circular diaphragm produces smooth bokeh for subject isolation and depth. Its sophisticated optical design - 27 elements in 19 groups - ensures exceptional image quality.

Sony's Optical SteadyShot stabilization counteracts camera shake using a gimbal mechanism and advanced algorithms for sharper handheld shots. A fixed mount foot rotates easily for seamless horizontal or vertical compositions. Three strategically placed focus hold buttons, positioned at 90 degree intervals, offer instant access to critical functions and customizable settings.
