The FE 400-800mm F6.3-8 G OSS lens sets new standards for super-telephoto shooting with exceptional sharpness, beautiful blur effects, and swift autofocusing capabilities.

1. Opt for the extended reach offered by the Alpha series 800mm super-telephoto zoom lens.
The FE 400-800mm F6.3-8 G OSS is designed as an Alpha lens offering a remarkable super telephoto reach from 400 mm up to 800 mm, which extends further to 1600 mm when paired with a compatible 2x teleconverter. This lens employs an internal zoom design where the overall length stays constant during adjustments; this ensures consistent balance and stability throughout operation.

2. Stunning visuals with smooth bokeh across all focal lengths during zooming.
The FE 400-800mm F6.3-8 G OSS features an 11-bladed circular diaphragm that aids in producing stunning spherical bokeh against silky-smooth backgrounds when using a shallow depth of field. The lens incorporates six ED (Extra-Low Dispersion) glass components to minimize color fringing, while simultaneously reducing flare and ghosting effects under backlighting, ensuring excellent image quality.
3. Swift and accurate autofocus can capture even the fastest subjects.
Two precise linear motors power the FE 400-800mm F6.3-8 G OSS lens’s autofocus system, ensuring swift and accurate focusing. The tracking capability syncs well with the camera’s top burst rate of 120 frames per second (iii), maintaining performance during high-speed shooting sessions. Additionally, silent operation enhances versatility across various scenarios. A focus range selector (FULL/10m-NEAR/[?]-8m) allows adjustment based on distance to the subject for optimized handling. This feature minimizes focus breathing, thereby enhancing cinematic quality when filming videos.
4. Excellent stability for use with handheld devices or tripods
The FE 400-800mm F6.3-8 G OSS lens allows for hand-held use without causing blurry images due to camera shake thanks to its integrated Optical SteadyShotTM technology. Additionally, stabilization improves further when paired with an Alpha series body featuring sensor-based image stabilization. The construction features robust parts, balanced design, and a fixed tripod collar which enhances both dependability and functionality. Moreover, this tripod mount ring can swiftly rotate for either landscape or portrait framing whenever you’re working from a tripod stand.
5. Advanced command and robustness suitable for all scenarios
The three focus hold buttons positioned at 90-degree intervals along the circumference of the FE 400-800mm F6.3-8 G OSS lens provide effortless accessibility regardless of the camera’s position. These buttons’ functionalities can also be customized according to your needs. This model features an internally moving zoom mechanism and boasts a robust build that resists dust and moisture (IV). Its front element comes equipped with a fluorine coat designed to fend off dirt and make cleaning more manageable.
Moreover, Full-time Direct Manual Focus (DMF) seamlessly switches to manual focusing once you start operating the focus ring, allowing precise adjustments or quick changes in focus point. Rounding out this feature set, the accompanying lens hood includes a locking function alongside a slot for filters, ensuring smooth handling during use.
