After a busy start of the year, Sony returns with yet another exciting tool for wildlife and sports photographers. Introducing the portable FE 100-400mm f/5.6-8 OSS Super Telephoto Lens, an affordable zoom offering photographers of every skill level a tool to easily bring distant subjects closer.
Following the announcement of the G Master 100-400mm f/4.5 lens earlier this year, this smaller offering aims to deliver great results for those in need of reach for a fraction of the price and size of the bigger alternative. Weighing just 23.1 ounces, this zoom is the perfect companion for those looking to get started, or even just hoping to save some space in their bag.
Compatible with both the 1.4x and 2.0x teleconverters, the lens's zoom range can be extended to 800mm. Additionally, the lens comes equipped with optical image stabilization for steady handheld shooting in even some of the toughest lighting conditions. Speaking of the toughest conditions: we can't forget to mention that this lens is dust and moisture resistant.
Inside the lens, you'll find two extra-low dispersion elements to suppress chromatic aberration as well as two aspherical elements to tackle distortion. The result is clear, consistent sharpness throughout the zoom range with unparalleled distortion suppression.
Where other budget-friendly super telephoto zooms often falter is when they're paired with Sony's faster bodies—like the A9 III. While it may not be everyone's first choice for such a legendarily fast camera, the FE 100-400mm f/5.6-8 OSS supports up to 120 fps with full AF/AE tracking on the camera with the help of 2 linear motors.
As you can see, the new FE 100-400mm f/5.6-8 OSS is a solid option for those in need of extra reach without the heft of more traditional options.
