Sony FE 400-800mm F6.3-8 G OSS: Super-Telephoto Zoom Sets New Standard for Wildlife Photography
With the longest reach of any Sony telephoto zoom yet, the FE 400-800mm F6.3-8 G OSS is an unparalleled option for wildlife photographers. It’s a large lens, but internal zoom, customizable function buttons and SteadyShot stabilization make handheld shooting manageable. Focusing is fast and accurate, with usefully short minimum distances at the wide end. It isn’t as pin-sharp as a telephoto prime, but detail is still pretty impressive across the full range. Provided you don’t need a faster maximum aperture for sports photography, the FE 400-800mm F6.3-8 G OSS offers strong performance for the price.
- The versatility of this lens to adapt to different shooting situations, such as wildlife and sports photography, demonstrates Sony's commitment to catering to a wide range of creative needs.
