Sony FE 100-400 f/5.6-8 OSS Lens
The Sony FE 100-400mm f/5.6-8 OSS Lens is a lightweight yet powerful super-telephoto zoom lens designed for Sony full-frame E-mount mirrorless cameras, delivering exceptional reach, fast autofocus, and outstanding image quality for wildlife, bird, sports, aviation, and outdoor photography. Covering an impressive 100-400mm focal length (equivalent to 150-600mm on APS-C cameras), this versatile zoom brings distant subjects closer with remarkable clarity while remaining highly portable at just 654g. Its advanced optical design incorporates two Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass elements and two aspherical elements to minimise chromatic aberrations, colour fringing, and distortion, producing sharp, high-contrast images throughout the zoom range. Dual Linear Motors provide lightning-fast, accurate, and whisper-quiet autofocus with reliable subject tracking, making it ideal for fast-moving wildlife and sporting action. Built-in Optical SteadyShot (OSS) image stabilisation reduces camera shake when shooting handheld, allowing for sharper telephoto images even in challenging conditions. A 9-blade circular aperture creates beautifully smooth, natural bokeh that helps isolate subjects against busy backgrounds, while the impressive 0.41x maximum magnification and 0.86m minimum focusing distance at 400mm make it equally capable for close-up nature and detail photography. Designed for demanding outdoor use, the lens features a dust and moisture-resistant construction, intuitive external controls including a focus hold button, focus range limiter, OSS switch, and zoom lock switch, ensuring quick operation in changing shooting environments. Compatible with optional Sony teleconverters, the lens can extend its reach up to 800mm, or an incredible 1200mm equivalent on APS-C cameras, making the Sony FE 100-400mm f/5.6-8 OSS an outstanding choice for photographers who need exceptional telephoto performance in a compact, travel-friendly design.
