Additional Information

Unprecedented Range

Not only is this the first Alpha zoom to reach 800mm, but its compatibility with 1.4x and 2x teleconverters extends the maximum focal length to 1120mm and 1600mm respectively, making this an elite choice for birding and wildlife as you’ll be able to keep a safe distance from your subjects. Complementing its impressive reach is a zoom ring that offers smooth, precise rotation that is made to help prevent accidental focal length changes.

Prioritizing Functionality & Usability

Poised to outshine Sony’s FE 200-600mm f/5.6-6.3 G OSS, this super-telephoto provides longer range and better overall lens performance while weighing just slightly more at 5.45 lb.Featuring a short rotational throw, this lens allows you to make swift focal adjustments while capturing.

This zoom accepts screw-in filters on the front lens element, expanding your ability to create in various lighting conditions.

Multiple function switches are built into the lens barrel that allow you to make rapid settings adjustments, including a switch for AF/MF, OSS, and focus limiting.

Cutting-Edge Optical Design

Six ED lens elements significantly reduce flare and ghosting in backlit conditions and help control chromatic aberration in images.An 11-blade circular diaphragm produces smooth and rich bokeh, ensuring effective subject isolation and blurred background when capturing with a narrow depth of field.

A complex optical configuration of 27 elements in 19 groups allows the lens to reproduce fine details and create high contrast images.

Built to Last

  • Equipped with a dust- and moisture-resistant design, the FE 400-800mm f/6.3-8 G OSS maximizes reliability in the field, regardless of inclement weather conditions.
  • The front lens element features a fluorine coating that repels water and oil. This coating also makes the lens glass easier to clean.
  • A robust lens hood with a lock button adds significant protection and features a filter opening for quick and convenient filter adjustment.

High-Level Stabilization & Control

A 400-800mm zoom range demands exceptional lens stability, which is provided by Sony’s Optical SteadyShot image-stabilization system. OSS utilizes a gimbal mechanism and an algorithm to effectively counteract camera shake by shifting the entire lens unit and sensor. When using a tripod, the lens’s fixed mount foot can be easily rotated for horizontal or vertical capturing. Located around the lens barrel at 90° increments are three focus hold buttons, allowing maximum access in any orientation. These buttons can also be assigned to your preferred functions for making specific settings changes more quickly.

Spanning a versatile telephoto range, the FE 200-600mm f/5.6-6.3 G OSS from Sony is a flexible zoom perfectly suited for nature, wildlife, and sports applications. Its long reach pairs with a modest maximum aperture range to render to a relatively lightweight and portable design, which benefits handheld use. The optical design incorporates a series of low dispersion and aspherical elements, which suppress a variety of aberrations, color fringing, and distortion in order to produce well-corrected imagery with high sharpness, color fidelity, and accurate rendering. A Nano AR Coating has also been applied to further reduce surface reflections and flare for improved contrast when working in bright and backlit conditions.

Complementing the optics, this lens also features a sophisticated physical design, which incorporates a Direct Drive Super Sonic wave Motor to realize fast, near-silent autofocus performance as well as full-time manual focus override. Optical SteadyShot image stabilization minimizes the appearance of camera shake to produce sharper imagery when working handheld and a removable, rotating tripod collar is also featured for stable tripod and monopod mounting. Additionally, a rounded 11-blade diaphragm contributes to an especially pleasing bokeh quality and the lens sports a weather-sealed design along with a fluorine-coated front element.

A far-reaching telephoto zoom designed for full-frame E-mount mirrorless cameras, this 200-600mm lens is also compatible with APS-C models where it provides a 300-900mm equivalent focal length range.
Maximum aperture range of f/5.6-6.3 helps minimize size and weight while providing excellent performance in a variety of applications.
Five extra-low dispersion elements are featured in the lens design and help to control chromatic aberrations and reduce color fringing for increased clarity and color fidelity.
One aspherical element is placed at the rear of the optical design and reduces distortion and spherical aberrations in order to produce a high degree of sharpness and accurate rendering.
A Nano AR Coating has been applied to minimize surface reflections, flare, and ghosting for increased contrast and color rendering in strong lighting conditions.
Optical SteadyShot image stabilization helps to minimize the appearance of camera shake for sharper imagery when shooting handheld with slower shutter speeds. This stabilization system has three dedicated modes, including panning and viewfinder stabilization priority settings, and can also be combined with select camera’s sensor-shift type image stabilization for more effective control of camera blur.
A Direct Drive Super Sonic wave Motor (DDSSM) AF system provides quick, quiet, and precise autofocus performance and full-time MF override, and Linear Response MF also contributes to more natural, intuitive manual focus control.
Minimum focusing distance of 7.9′, along with a maximum magnification of 0.2x, benefits portraiture and head shots.
Focus range limiter and focus hold controls offer more intuitive handling and faster performance when photographing moving subjects.
Internal zoom design limits the overall length of the lens while zooming for more intuitive and comfortable handling.
Dust and weather-sealed construction benefits using the lens in inclement shooting conditions.
The front lens element features a fluorine coating to protect against smudges and dust from adhering to the glass surface.
A rounded 11-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality when employing selective focus techniques.
Removable rotating tripod mount permits quick switching from horizontal to vertical shooting orientations.
Compatible with optional 1.4x and 2x FE teleconverters for further increasing the lens’s reach.
