What's Included
The Sony FE 400-800mm f/6.3-8 G OSS Lens is a powerful super-telephoto lens for wildlife, nature, and sports photography. It offers internal zoom and advanced autofocus, as well as Optical SteadyShot stabilization with three modes and a focus limiter. Includes a fixed, rotating tripod foot for increased stability.
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
This super-telephoto lens, weighing in at 2475g, is poised to outperform Sony's FE 200-600mm f/5.6-6.3 G OSS with its longer range and superior overall performance. It features a shorter rotational throw for swift adjustments of the focal length, and allows for the use of screw-in filters on the front lens element to enhance creativity in different lighting situations. The lens barrel also includes multiple function switches for quick settings changes, such as AF/MF, OSS, and focus limiting.
Cutting-Edge Optical Design
The lens incorporates six ED elements to reduce flare and ghosting, as well as minimize chromatic aberration in backlit conditions. It also features an 11-blade circular diaphragm that produces a smooth and aesthetically pleasing bokeh, resulting in effective subject isolation and a blurred background when shooting with a narrow depth of field. With a complex optical arrangement of 27 elements in 19 groups, this lens is able to accurately reproduce fine details and produce 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.
