Description

The FE 400-800mm F6.3-8 G OSS is Sony’s first* α Lens that zooms to 800mm, with a range that is ideal for distant subjects as well as the creation of telephoto compression. The fast, precise AF lets you capture subjects that can’t be approached closely, such as wild birds and wild animals, and draw them into the full picture. The internal zoom design minimizes center-of-gravity shift for smooth handling.
 
E-mount 400-800 mm super-telephoto zoom
The FE 400-800 F6.3-8 G OSS is Sony’s first* α Lens that covers the 800 mm super-telephoto zoom range. Optional 1.4x and 2x teleconverters can be used to extend that range up to 1600 mm. Super-telephoto focal lengths are ideal for birds and wildlife, sports, aircraft, and other subjects that can’t be approached closely, as well as scenes that benefit from telephoto compression.
 
Internal zoom and optimized zoom control
Internal zoom means the length of the lens does not change while zooming, and the center of gravity stays within a small range for stable handling. Smooth, easy zoom ring rotation allows quick zooming to any focal length in the range, while careful design reduces the possibility of accidental focal length changes.
 
Superb quality throughout the zoom range
Six ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements effectively control chromatic aberration that can be a problem at super-telephoto focal lengths. Flare and ghosting are also thoroughly suppressed. An 11-blade circular aperture helps to create beautiful ball bokeh amid exceptionally smooth background bokeh when shooting with a narrow depth of field.
 
1.7 m minimum focus at 0.23x magnification
Offering remarkable close-up capability for a super-telephoto zoom, VX8042 features a minimum focusing distance of just 1.7 m (5.58 ft) at the wide end of the zoom range and a maximum magnification of 0.23x. This level of close-up performance dramatically expands the potential uses of this versatile lens.
 
Fast, precise AF captures quick subjects
Two precision linear motors drive the lens’s focus group for fast, accurate focusing. Tracking easily keeps up with the 120 fps*maximum burst speed of the α9 III and continues uninterrupted even while zooming so important moments are not lost. A focus-range limiter (FULL / 10m-NEAR / ∞-8m) can be used to optimize operation for different subject distances. Focus breathing is suppressed for refined movie quality and quiet operation expands the gamut of possible applications.
 
Precise manual focus
Full-time DMF automatically engages manual focus when the focus ring is operated, making it easy to apply fine manual adjustments or change the focus entirely. Linear Response MF ensures that the focus ring responds directly to manual focus control, with focus ring rotation translating directly to a corresponding change in focus.
 
Minimal focus breathing for movies
Advanced lens technology reduces focus breathing as well as focus and axial shift when zooming. Changes in angle of view and other image shifts are minimized for smooth, high-quality movie footage. The breathing compensation function* provided in compatible α bodies is also supported, further reducing unwanted image shifts while focusing.
 
Built-in Optical SteadyShotTM
Shooting handheld at super-telephoto focal lengths is made easier by the built-in Optical SteadyShot image stabilization. MODE 2 is ideal for panned shots, while MODE 3* provides improved viewfinder stabilization for easier framing of active subjects. Even better stabilization plus enhanced body-lens communication and control are available when used with compatible α bodies*.
 
Durability and ease for tripod shooting
The tripod mount foot provides 1/4-20 UNC and 3/8-16 UNC screw sockets for compatibility with a wide range of tripods and can be quickly rotated for horizontal or vertical orientation. Durable components, optimized balance, and a non-removable design maximize reliability and performance in challenging conditions.
 
Focus hold buttons offer flexible control
Three focus hold buttons at 90° increments around the lens barrel allow instant focus hold operation in either horizontal or vertical orientations, whether the camera is being held normally or upside-down. Functions other than focus hold can be assigned to the buttons as needed.
 
Extra reliability for outdoor shooting
Internal zoom coupled with a dust and moisture resistant* design provide ample reliability when shooting outdoors. The front element features a fluorine coating that repels contaminants and makes the lens easier to clean. The lens hood is a new design with a lock button for easy attachment and removal, and a filter opening for easy operation.

We do not sell Grey Market Products

What is Grey Market?

Products that are imported and sold by anyone other than USA Authorized dealers are considered Grey Market products. These are often genuine products that were intended for other countries; therefore, they may not meet the manufacturer's specifications for US products or perform as expected, and they are not covered by a USA manufacture warranty or eligible for a USA repair service.

What are the differences as far as a customer is concerned?

In most cases, the main difference between a "USA" and a "Grey Market," or imported product is the cost of the item and the terms of the item’s warranty coverage. The products themselves are otherwise identical. As a rule, "Grey Market" items typically cost less than their USA counterparts. "Grey market" products never qualify for manufacturer's rebate programs and can not be price matched. If you have any questions, please call us at 1-800-333-4280.
