Sony Launches Its First 800 mm Super Telephoto Zoom G Lens™ - FE 400-800mm F6.3-8 G OSS

 Full-Frame E-Mount Lens Achieves High Resolution Performance Across Entire Zoom Range and Beautiful Bokeh That Only G Lens Can Provide

(ASIA PACIFIC, 26 March 2025) - Sony announced the FE 400-800mm F6.3-8 G OSS (SEL400800G) - Sony’s first 800 mm super-telephoto zoom G Lens. This brand-new Alpha lens flaunts high resolution performance across the entire zoom range, beautiful bokeh, as well as fast, precise, and accurate AF (autofocus). In addition, the inner-zoom design, which minimizes change in the center of gravity, allows for stable framing. It is also compatible with the separately sold 1.4x and 2x teleconverter that can extend the maximum focal length to 1600 mm making this lens ideal for shooting birds, wildlife, sports, aircraft and landscapes.

Go long with the Alpha lens of 800 mm super telephoto zoom

The FE 400-800mm F6.3-8 G OSS is the Alpha lens to cover a 400 mm to 800 mm super telephoto range and can even be extended to a maximum focal length of 1600 mm with a 2x teleconverter. With an inner-zoom mechanism, the length of the lens does not change, so the centre of gravity remains almost unchanged for stable handling and control. The lens features a smooth, easy zoom ring rotation for precise zooming, while careful design prevents any accidental focal length changes.

Beautiful rendering and natural bokeh throughout the zoom range

The FE 400-800mm F6.3-8 G OSS has an 11-blade circular aperture that helps to create beautiful ball bokeh in smooth, creamy background when shooting with a narrow depth of field. Six ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements effectively control chromatic aberration, while flare and ghosting in backlit conditions are also thoroughly suppressed for beautiful photography.

Fast, precise AF captures even the quickest subjects

Two precision linear motors drive the FE 400-800mm F6.3-8 G OSS ’s focus group for fast, accurate focusing. Tracking keeps up with the 120 fps maximum burst speed of the Alpha 9 III, and quiet operation expands the array of possibilities. A focus range switch (FULL/10m-NEAR/∞-8m) can also be used to optimize control for different subject distances. Focus breathing is suppressed for refined movie quality.

Solid support for handheld or tripod-mounted shooting

The FE 400-800mm F6.3-8 G OSS can easily be used handheld without shake-induced blur by the built-in Optical SteadyShot TM image stabilization. What’s more, stabilization is even better with an Alpha body that includes image stabilization. Durable components, optimized balance, and a non-removable foot maximizes reliability and performance. And when using a tripod, the tripod mount foot can be quickly rotated for horizontal or vertical orientation, that supports a wide range of shooting subjects. 

High-level control and reliability for any situation

Three focus hold buttons at 90° increments around the FE 400-800mm F6.3-8 G OSS ’s barrel allow easy access in any orientation and other functions can be assigned to the buttons as needed. The internal zoom and a dust and moisture resistant design maximises reliability with a front element that has a fluorine coating that repels contaminants and makes the lens easier to clean. Additionally, Full-time DMF automatically engages manual focus when the focus ring is operated, making it easy to apply fine manual adjustments or change the focus entirely. Lastly, the lens hood has a new design with a lock button and filter opening for easy operation.
