Redefining the Sony G Series

Super-Telephoto Performance

As the farthest-reaching Sony E-mount zoom to date, this lens offers a 400–800 mm focal range with professional image quality that pushes the boundaries of the G Series. Internal zoom enhances handling balance, while dual linear motors deliver fast, smooth, and accurate autofocus.

Optical SteadyShot provides three operation modes, supporting precise stabilization for fast action and static subjects. The lens integrates three focus hold buttons and a focus limiter switch for enhanced manual control.

A fixed, rotating tripod collar offers improved stability for mounted shooting.

Unprecedented Range

Industry-Leading Reach

As the first Alpha zoom to reach 800 mm, this lens becomes even more powerful with compatible teleconverters, extending to 1120 mm with a 1.4x or up to 1600 mm using a 2x teleconverter. This allows photographers to maintain a safe distance while capturing distant wildlife and birds.

The smooth, precise zoom ring reduces accidental focal changes and supports controlled framing throughout the range.

Functionality & Usability

Improved Handling

Despite offering extended reach compared to the FE 200-600mm f/5.6-6.3 G OSS, this lens weighs only slightly more at 2.47 kg. A short rotational throw allows rapid zoom adjustments, while screw-in front filters increase creative versatility.

Multiple switches on the lens barrel allow quick adjustments for AF/MF, OSS modes, and focus limiting.

Cutting-Edge Optical Design

Advanced Elements

Six ED elements reduce chromatic aberrations and suppress flare and ghosting, especially in backlit scenes. The 11-blade circular diaphragm produces smooth, natural bokeh for excellent subject isolation.

A complex arrangement of 27 elements in 19 groups ensures high contrast and fine detail reproduction throughout the zoom range.

Built to Last

Weather Protection

The dust- and moisture-resistant design provides reliable performance in harsh environments. A fluorine-coated front element repels oil, water, and contaminants, making cleaning quick and easy.

The included lens hood features a locking mechanism and a filter window for convenient adjustments.

High-Level Stabilization & Control

Stabilization System

Sony’s Optical SteadyShot system uses a gimbal mechanism and advanced algorithms to counteract camera shake across the extended focal range. The fixed rotating foot allows smooth reorientation between horizontal and vertical shooting positions.

Three focus hold buttons positioned around the lens ensure easy access regardless of camera orientation, and they can be customized for specific in-camera functions.
