Hot dog—two new Sony lenses are coming this spring!! We know you love to hear it, because we do too. They couldn’t be more different in their perspectives, but they have the same goal: bringing G Lens quality to your imaging toolbox.
The FE 400–800mm f/6.3–8 G OSS is Sony’s first-ever zoom lens that goes to 800mm and will be available March 21st. The FE 16mm f/1.8 G will be coming a little later—April 8th—and brings sleek, silent performance for hybrid photo/video use. Pre-order either one at our website, or visit any of our brick and mortar stores to pre-order.
FE 400–800mm f/6.3–8 G OSS – α, BEYOND VISIBLE
The FE 400–800mm f/6.3–8 G OSS is Sony’s first α Lens that zooms to 800mm, with a range that is ideal for distant subjects as well as the creation of telephoto compression. The fast, precise AF lets you capture subjects that can’t be approached closely, such as wild birds and wild animals, and draw them into the full picture. The internal zoom design minimizes center-of-gravity shift for smooth handling.
- High resolution and natural bokeh throughout the zoom range
- Internal zoom for stable handling
- High-performance 1.4x and 2.0x teleconverters extend the lens’s focal length
- Durable for tripod-mounted shooting and mount to UNC standard 1/4-20, or 3/8-16 screws
- Optical SteadyShot stabilization, with mode switch
- Minimal focus breathing for movies
- 5.58 foot minimum focusing distance
- 6 ED elements for suppression of chromatic aberration
- Fast, precise AF driven by 2 linear motors
- Precise tracking while zooming & recording video
- Button-locked lens hood with filter access gate
- Dust and moisture resistance, plus high durability
