Sony has announced the FE 400-800mm f/6.3-8 G OSS. This super-telephoto zoom lens is ideal for photographing birds and wildlife. It offers premium G lens quality and is also compatible with 1.4x and 2x teleconverters.
The lens is suitable for high-resolution photography and delivers beautiful bokeh and fast autofocus. The entire zoom mechanism is built in, so the lens does not get longer. This keeps the centre of gravity as consistent as possible.
The lens is compatible with teleconverters, extending the focal length to a maximum of 1600mm. If your subject is far away, this lens lets you still capture it large in the frame.
Sony says that the lens is suitable for birds, wildlife, sports, aeroplanes and landscapes. The circular 11-blade aperture produces beautiful round bokeh. Chromatic aberration is controlled by six ED glass elements.
There are two linear motors for autofocus. This makes the lens suitable for shooting at up to 120 fps. The lens also suppresses focus breathing.
The FE 400-800mm f/6.3-8 G OSS will be available from March 2025 for 3,000 euros. This makes the lens accessible to a large group of photographers.
