The Sony FE 400mm f/2.8 GM OSS (SEL400F28GM) is a professional, premium super-telephoto prime lens designed specifically for Sony's full-frame E-mount mirrorless cameras.
Key Features and Specifications
Exceptional Image Quality: As part of the flagship G Master (GM) series, the lens guarantees the highest resolution and beautiful, smooth bokeh. The optical design incorporates 23 elements in 17 groups, including three fluorite elements to effectively minimize chromatic aberrations and color fringing.
Bright f/2.8 Aperture: The fast maximum aperture excels in low-light conditions and offers extensive control over depth of field, ideal for isolating subjects from busy backgrounds.
Rapid and Quiet Autofocus: The lens utilizes newly developed dual XD (eXtreme Dynamic) Linear Motors, providing exceptionally fast, precise, and quiet autofocus performance, which is crucial for tracking fast-moving subjects in sports and wildlife photography.
Optical SteadyShot (OSS) Stabilization: Built-in optical image stabilization helps in capturing sharp images when shooting handheld. It features a new Mode 3 setting with an advanced algorithm optimized for tracking dynamic, unpredictable action.
Lightweight and Durable Build: Despite its significant size, it is remarkably lightweight for its class (approx. 2.9 kg or 6.4 lbs). The magnesium alloy construction is dust and moisture-sealed for reliability in harsh environmental conditions.
Versatility: The lens is designed for full-frame E-mount cameras but provides a 600mm equivalent focal length on APS-C bodies. It is also compatible with optional 1.4x and 2.0x Sony teleconverters.
