Overview

Sony FE 400-800mm f/6.3-8 G OSS Lens (Sony E)

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.

Amazing lens
Just bought this super telephoto zoom a week ago,. Took it out to my usual Osprey spot and took a few amazing shots! The 800mm reach and versatility of the zoom makes taking these shots a breeze! The AF is lightning fast and image quality is crisp and sharp.

Good Lens in Good Lighting Conditions
Been using the FE 400-800mm for aviation and bird photography, excels well in both regards as long as there is enough day light. On cloudy, over cast days, increasing ISO would be needed to get decently exposed photos.

Reach & sharp
I bought this lens only recently so haven't had a great deal of time in the field with it. One concern I had before receiving it was minimum f8 at 800mm, however, the image stabilisation (coupled with that of the A7rv) is exceptional. I can get away with a much slower shutter speed than I was expecting. I had to use that feature the last few days as the weather at home (the only opportunity I've had to use it so far) has been incredibly dull and VERY overcast, yet I'm very happy with images I captured as a base line to improve on.

Loving it!
Excellent glass. Much sharper than my 200-600 G . Also marked improvement in AF due to the dual linear motor drive and 1.7m mfd make this lens very capable for bird and wildlife photography.

Telephoto for extreme reach and wildlife
Excellent,a really a nice choice for Sony users ,althought the aperture of F8 is limiting in some scenarios ,the convenience of the zoom with reach surpasses other telephoto zoom options ,and even some primes ,the lens is built with Sony's expertise so rest assured of high quality ,internal zoom assures good balance and fast zoom throw ,coupled with Sonys superlative XD linear motors insured fast focusing ,a step up from competitors,lens hood is well designed everything has a premium feel,there will times when you may need something shorter for your needs ,but for birding wildlife where you subject can be either small or distant this lens gives you opportunitys only the best primes could achieve ,kudos to Sony it has now replaced my 200-600mm Sony g lens ,as first choice .only the weight will be a limited factor for some people.

Excellent lens
I sold my 200-600 to upgrade to the 400-800, I’m very happy with the lens,the 800 end is nice and shape for my type of photography,which is locating birds nest. I’m not able to supply any images,due to the sensor of showing birds on nest.
