FAQs
What types of photography is the Sony FE 400-800mm lens best suited for?
This lens is ideal for wildlife, sports, and aviation photography, as well as any subject that requires a super-telephoto reach.
Can I use teleconverters with this lens?
Yes, you can use optional 1.4x and 2x teleconverters, which can extend the focal length up to 1600 mm.
How does the lens perform in low light conditions?
With a maximum aperture of f/6.3-8, the lens performs well in moderate low light, but may require higher ISO settings for optimal results.
Is the lens compatible with full-frame and APS-C cameras?
Yes, the Sony FE 400-800mm lens is designed for full-frame E-mount cameras but can also be used with APS-C models, effectively providing a longer reach.
What is the minimum focusing distance for this lens?
The minimum focusing distance is 1.7 m (5.58 ft), allowing for close-up photography at super-telephoto focal lengths.
How does the internal zoom feature benefit handling?
The internal zoom design maintains a consistent length while zooming, which helps with balance and stability during shooting.
What features enhance the lens's durability for outdoor use?
The lens has a dust and moisture-resistant design, along with a fluorine coating on the front element to repel contaminants, making it suitable for outdoor conditions.
The Sony FE 400-800mm f/6.3-8 G OSS Lensis Sony’s first alpha Lens that zooms to 800 mm, with a range that is ideal for distant subjects as well as the creation of telephoto compression. The fast, precise AF lets you capture subjects that can’t be approached closely, such as wild birds and wild animals, and draw them into the full picture. The internal zoom design minimises centre-of-gravity shift for smooth handling.

E-mount 400-800 mm super-telephoto zoom
The FE 400-800mm f/6.3-8 G OSS is the first α Lens that covers the 800 mm super-telephoto zoom range. Optional 1.4x and 2x teleconverters are available, with the 2x teleconverter able to extend that range up to 1600 mm. Super-telephoto focal lengths are ideal for birds and wildlife, sports, aircraft, and other subjects that can’t be approached closely, as well as scenes that benefit from telephoto compression.
Internal zoom and optimised zoom control
Internal zoom means the length of the lens does not change while zooming, and the centre of gravity stays within a small range for stable handling. Smooth, easy zoom ring rotation allows quick zooming to any focal length in the range, while careful design reduces the possibility of accidental focal length changes.
Superb quality throughout the zoom range
Six ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements effectively control chromatic aberration that can be a problem at super-telephoto focal lengths. Flare and ghosting are also thoroughly suppressed. An 11-blade circular aperture helps to create beautiful ball bokeh amid exceptionally smooth background bokeh when shooting with a narrow depth of field.
1.7 m minimum focus at 0.23x magnification
Offering remarkable close-up capability for a super-telephoto zoom, the FE 400-800mm f/6.3-8 G OSS features a minimum focusing distance of just 1.7 m (5.58 ft) at the wide end of the zoom range and a maximum magnification of 0.23x. This level of close-up performance dramatically expands the potential uses of this versatile lens.
Durability and ease for tripod shooting
The tripod mount foot provides 1/4-20 UNC and 3/8-16 UNC screw sockets for compatibility with a wide range of tripods, and can be quickly rotated for horizontal or vertical orientation. Durable components, optimised balance, and a non-removable design maximise reliability and performance in challenging conditions.
Focus hold buttons offer flexible control
Three focus hold buttons at 90° increments around the lens barrel allow instant focus hold operation in either horizontal or vertical orientations, whether the camera is being held normally or upside-down. Functions other than focus hold can be assigned to the buttons as needed.
Extra reliability for outdoor shooting
Internal zoom coupled with a dust and moisture-resistant design provides ample reliability when shooting outdoors. The front element features a fluorine coating that repels contaminants and makes the lens easier to clean. The lens hood is a new design with a lock button for easy attachment and removal, and a filter opening for easy operation.
Environmentally conscious
Sony’s environmental plan “Road to Zero” aims for a zero environmental footprint by 2050. The environmental footprint of this product has been minimised from development through supply chain, production, and packaging. We are also transitioning to non-plastic packaging materials. Plant-based non-woven fabrics are used for product bags.
