The Sony FE 100-400mm f/5.6-8 OSS Lens (Sony E) delivers exceptional super-telephoto reach in a lightweight, travel-friendly design, making it an ideal choice for photographers and content creators capturing wildlife, sports, aviation, nature, and live events. Combining impressive optical performance with fast autofocus and effective image stabilization, this versatile zoom provides the flexibility needed to photograph distant subjects without the size and weight of traditional super-telephoto lenses.
Covering a 100-400mm focal length range on Sony full-frame E-mount cameras, the lens offers outstanding versatility for a wide variety of shooting scenarios. Its optical design incorporates two Extra-low Dispersion (ED) elements and two aspherical elements to minimize chromatic aberrations, reduce distortion, and deliver sharp, high-contrast images throughout the zoom range.
Fast-moving subjects are tracked with confidence thanks to dual linear motors that provide quick, quiet, and precise autofocus performance, supporting continuous shooting at up to 120 fps on compatible Sony cameras. Built-in Optical SteadyShot (OSS) image stabilization helps reduce the effects of camera shake for sharper handheld photos and smoother video, making the lens easier to use in the field without relying on a tripod.
When even greater magnification is required, the FE 100-400mm f/5.6-8 OSS is compatible with optional Sony teleconverters, extending the maximum focal length to 800mm for photographing distant wildlife, outdoor sports, and other hard-to-reach subjects. Compact, capable, and designed for adventure, this lens is an excellent companion for photographers who need professional telephoto performance in a portable package.
