Sony FE 400mm F2.8 GM OSS Lens

Are you a professional photographer seeking to elevate your sports, wildlife, or nature photography The Sony FE 400mm F 2.8 GM OSS Lens for Sony E-mount cameras is the answer. This super-telephoto prime lens, a result of Sony's extensive research and rigorous testing, delivers unparalleled image quality, extraordinary focusing speed, and precision. Weighing just over 6 lbs., this lens is the lightest in its class, offering unmatched portability and handheld maneuverability. This is achieved through an innovative optical design featuring three fluorite elements and a reduced number of elements at the front of the barrel.

The use of durable magnesium alloy components further contributes to its lightweight design. This lens is not front-heavy, reducing the moment of inertia that resists rotation by up to 50% compared to the SAL500F40G. This ensures quicker, more precise panning when shooting handheld or on a monopod, making it ideal for capturing dynamic, fast-moving subjects like athletes or wildlife. The FE 400mm F 2.8 GM OSS lens is equipped with two newly developed high-speed XD (extreme dynamic) Linear Motors that drive the lens's focus group. This, combined with specially developed motion algorithms, results in up to a 5x improvement in moving-subject tracking performance.

The result is quick, accurate, and quiet autofocus performance. As a member of Sony's flagship G Master series lenses, this lens offers an incredible level of image quality and detail, with outstanding contrast and resolution maintained all the way to the corners of the image. Three fluorite elements help to minimize chromatic aberration and suppress color bleeding. Sony's original Nano AR coating is applied to suppress unwanted reflections, glare, or ghosting. The lens features an 11-blade circular aperture mechanism that produces extremely natural and beautiful background defocus or 'bokeh'.

It is compatible with Sony's 1.4 x and 2.0 x E-mount tele-converters, offering outstanding imaging performance at extended focal lengths while maintaining fast, precise AF performance. Built to withstand the harsh conditions of sporting events and wildlife photography, the FE 400mm F 2.8 GM OSS is constructed with a durable magnesium alloy and a strong, lightweight carbon fiber hood. It is dust and moisture resistant, and its front element is coated with fluorine to resist dirt and fingerprints. The lens offers a number of hard controls, including customizable focus-hold buttons in four different locations on the lens barrel, a 'Full-Time DMF' switch for immediate manual focus engagement, and a focus ring featuring Linear Response MF for fine, responsive manual focus.

It also includes built-in optical stabilization for dynamic action and three different 'Mode' settings, including a new Mode 3 setting with an advanced algorithm for easier framing when following moving subjects. The FE 400mm F 2.8 GM OSS includes a drop-in filter slot that accepts Dia. 40.5 mm ND and other filter types, as well as the optional VF-DCPL1 Drop-in Circular Polarizing Filter. The VF-DCPL1 filter can be rotated to achieve the desired polarization while installed in the lens. In summary, the Sony FE 400mm F 2.8 GM OSS Lens for Sony E-mount cameras is a high-quality, professional, advanced, innovative, and reliable choice for photographers looking to take their work to the next level.
