Magnify to 800mm, Explore Beauty Beyond the Naked Eye
The FE 400-800mm F6.3-8 G OSS is Sony's first α lens capable of zooming to 800mm, with a focal length range perfectly suited for capturing distant subjects and creating telephoto compression effects. Fast, precise autofocus lets you capture elusive subjects like wild birds and wildlife, framing them perfectly. The internal zoom design minimizes shift in the center of gravity, ensuring smooth operation.
A Lens That Breaks New Ground: A 400-800mm Super-Telephoto Zoom
The FE 400-800mm F6.3-8 G OSS is the first α lens to cover the super-telephoto range from 400mm to 800mm. When paired with an optional 2x teleconverter, the focal length can be extended to an astounding 1600mm. The internal zoom design keeps the lens length constant, with minimal change in balance, ensuring rock-steady handling. The zoom ring rotates smoothly for precise control, and its design helps prevent accidental focal length changes.
Advanced Optical Design Delivers High Resolution and Natural Bokeh Throughout the Zoom Range
Six ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements effectively control chromatic aberration. Flare and ghosting are also thoroughly suppressed in backlit conditions. The 11-blade circular aperture creates beautifully rounded bokeh in shots with shallow depth of field, accompanied by a silky-smooth background blur.
Fast, Precise Autofocus Captures Fast-Moving Subjects
Two precision linear motors drive the focus group, achieving fast and accurate focusing. The tracking performance easily keeps up with the α9 III's maximum continuous shooting speed of 120 fps, and continues uninterrupted during zooming, ensuring you never miss the shot. A focus range limiter (FULL / 10m-NEAR / ∞-8m) optimizes operation for different subject distances. Focus breathing is suppressed to enhance video quality, and quiet operation broadens its applicability.
Full Support for Handheld or Tripod Shooting
Despite extending to 800mm, the optically stabilized FE 400-800mm F6.3-8 G OSS weighs just 2475g (87.4 oz), making handheld shooting resistant to blur from camera shake. When paired with an α body featuring image stabilization, the stabilization effect is further enhanced. When using a tripod, the tripod foot can be rotated quickly for easy switching between horizontal and vertical shooting. Durable components, optimized balance, and a fixed tripod mount significantly enhance reliability and performance.
Highly Controllable, Reliable, and Portable Enough for Diverse Situations
Three focus hold buttons are positioned at 90-degree intervals around the lens barrel for easy access from any angle. Other functions can also be assigned to these buttons as needed. The internal zoom design and dust- and moisture-resistant construction greatly enhance reliability. A front lens element with a fluorine coating helps repel contaminants and makes cleaning easier. The newly designed lens hood features a lock button and a filter access window for simple operation.
