Sony FE 400mm f/4.5 GM OSS lens

The Sony FE 400mm f/4.5 GM OSS is a super-telephoto lens for nature and sports photography, designed for demanding enthusiasts and professionals. Weighing 994 grams, with optical image stabilisation and a detachable tripod collar, it is a highly portable option even for handheld photography.

Fast focusing on moving subjects

Two XD autofocus motors respond quickly to subject movement and support continuous autofocus. The lens also keeps pace with the Sony A9 III body’s 120 FPS continuous shooting, making it ideal for subjects such as birds in flight, sports and 4K 120p slow-motion videos.

Add extra reach with telescopic extensions

The lens is compatible with Sony’s 1.4X and 2X teleconverters. When used with these teleconverters, the equivalent focal lengths are 560mm F6.3 and 840mm F9, providing additional reach for photographing wildlife and subjects moving at a distance.

The design of the G Master series for field use

The optical design comprises three Super ED elements and one ED element, whilst the Nano AR Coating II helps with shooting in backlight conditions. The dust- and moisture-resistant construction, fluorine-coated outer lens surfaces, and protected buttons and bayonet mount ensure reliable performance in a variety of conditions.
