Ultra-Telephoto Zoom with 800mm Reach

As Sony’s first α Lens to offer a 400–800mm zoom range, this lens provides exceptional reach for photographing subjects that cannot be approached closely.

• 400–800mm focal length (full-frame)

• 600–1200mm equivalent on APS-C bodies

• Compatible with 1.4x and 2x teleconverters

• Extendable up to 1600mm with 2x teleconverter

This extended range is ideal for wildlife, birds, sports, aircraft and distant landscapes.

Outstanding Optical Quality with ED Elements

The advanced optical design includes six Extra-low Dispersion (ED) elements, reducing chromatic aberrations and ensuring sharp, high-resolution results across the entire zoom range.

Additional optical benefits include:

• Excellent sharpness throughout the zoom range

• Reduced flare and ghosting

• Natural colour reproduction

• Smooth, attractive background blur

The 11-blade circular aperture creates beautiful, creamy bokeh and excellent subject separation.

Fast, Precise Autofocus with Dual Linear Motors

Two high-performance linear motors provide fast, accurate and quiet autofocus performance, ensuring reliable subject tracking—even with fast-moving subjects.

• Fast and precise AF tracking

• Compatible with high-speed burst shooting

• Focus range limiter for optimised performance

• Suppressed focus breathing for video

This makes the lens ideal for both still photography and video applications.

Optical SteadyShot Image Stabilisation

Built-in Optical SteadyShot stabilisation helps reduce camera shake when shooting handheld at extreme focal lengths.

• Improved stability at super-telephoto range

• Dedicated stabilisation modes for panning and active subjects

• Enhanced performance when combined with in-body stabilisation

This enables sharper handheld images even at 800mm.

Internal Zoom for Stable Handling

The internal zoom design ensures the lens length remains constant while zooming, maintaining consistent balance and improving handling.

Benefits include:

• Stable centre of gravity

• Smooth zoom operation

• Improved handling for handheld and tripod use

• Reduced risk of zoom creep
