Go long with the first1 α Lens: 400-800 mm super-telephoto zoom

The FE 400-800mm F6.3-8 G OSS is the first α lens to offer an impressive super-telephoto range spanning from 400 mm to 800 mm. For photographers seeking even greater reach, an optional 2x teleconverter can extend the maximum focal length to an extraordinary 1600 mm. One of its key features is the internal zoom mechanism, which ensures that the lens maintains a consistent length, keeping the center of gravity stable for easy and reliable handling. Additionally, the smooth rotation of the zoom ring allows precise adjustments, making it intuitive to achieve the desired focal length. The design also incorporates safeguards to prevent unintended focal length changes, ensuring a seamless and stress-free shooting experience.

Cutting-edge optical design gives high resolution and natural bokeh throughout the zoom range

The advanced optical design ensures remarkable clarity and sharpness across the entire frame, even at wide-open apertures. Each element is meticulously engineered to deliver high-resolution performance, minimizing distortions and maintaining superior image quality. Additionally, advanced coatings are applied to the lens surfaces, further reducing reflections and enhancing contrast for vibrant, true-to-life image reproduction. This combination of precision craftsmanship and cutting-edge technology makes the lens an ideal choice for photographers seeking professional-grade results.

Fast, precise AF captures even fast-moving subjects

Two precision linear motors drive the lens’s focus group for fast, accurate focusing. Tracking easily keeps up with the 120 fps² maximum burst speed of the α9 III, and continues uninterrupted even while zooming so important moments are not lost. A focus-range limiter (FULL / 10m-NEAR / ∞-8m) can be used to optimize operation for different subject distances. Focus breathing is suppressed for refined movie quality, and quiet operation expands the gamut of possible applications.

Solid support for handheld or tripod-mounted shooting

The optically stabilized FE 400-800mm F6.3-8 G OSS lens offers an impressive reach, extending to 800 mm, while maintaining a lightweight design at just 2475 g (87.4 oz). This makes it possible to use the lens handheld without worrying about shake-induced blur. The stabilization capabilities are further enhanced when paired with an α body that includes image stabilization, ensuring clear and steady shots. For tripod use, the carefully designed mount foot allows quick and seamless rotation to switch between horizontal and vertical orientations. Built with durable materials and optimized for balanced handling, the lens also features a non-removable foot, prioritizing reliability and peak performance during demanding shooting conditions.

High-level control and reliability for any situation

The lens features three focus hold buttons placed at 90° increments around the barrel, ensuring effortless access no matter the shooting orientation. These buttons are customizable, allowing other functions to be assigned based on user preferences for added flexibility. Enhancing reliability, the lens includes internal zoom and a robust dust and moisture-resistant design, making it suitable for challenging environments. Additionally, the front element is equipped with a fluorine coating to repel contaminants like water and oil, simplifying maintenance and cleaning. The newly designed lens hood incorporates a convenient lock button and a filter opening for seamless operation, making it not only functional but also intuitive for professional use.

Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Grace ★★★★★

I was blown away by how sharp the images are at 800mm, even wide open at f/8. The built-in optical stabilization let me shoot handheld during a sunset hike with no blur at all.

Olivia C. ★★★★★

I was pleasantly surprised by how well the zoom ring dampens vibration when cranking from 400 to 800mm. The built-in optical stabilization makes handheld birding shots at dusk feel much steadier than I expected.

Abigail F. ★★★★★

Handheld shots at 800mm are actually usable thanks to the OSS, which surprised me more than the reach itself. The zoom ring is smooth enough to track a flying bird without jitter, and the f/6.3-8 aperture keeps the weight manageable for a day hike.
