Sony FE 600mm f/6.3 GM OSS lens

Sony FE 600mm f/6.3 GM OSS lens

Designed for demanding nature and sports photography, this super-telephoto lens brings distant subjects closer without the need for heavy kit. Weighing just 995 grams, with optical image stabilisation and fast autofocus, it supports responsive handheld photography.

For tracking moving objects

Two XD focus motors drive two focus groups, helping the lens to react quickly to the subject’s movements. The focus keeps up even during 120 FPS continuous shooting on the new Sony bodies, and its quiet operation also makes it suitable for video recording.

Add extra reach with telescopic extensions

The lens is compatible with Sony’s 1.4X and 2X teleconverters. With these teleconverters, the equivalent focal lengths are 840 mm at f/9 and 1200 mm at f/13, which is particularly useful for photographing wildlife at a great distance.

A structure designed to be controlled by the photographer

Thanks to the four Focus Hold buttons, the programmable Function Ring and the focus distance limiters, key controls are quickly to hand. The image stabiliser, equipped with three operating modes, supports standard shooting, panning and tracking challenging subjects.
