Want to shoot garden wildlife or your kids’ sports days? Sony’s new affordable zoom lens has you covered

Sony has launched a new, affordable telephoto zoom lens designed for photographers who want to capture distant subjects without needing a heavy, expensive camera accessory. The Sony FE 100-400mm F5.6-8 OSS is a compact and lightweight option, weighing in at just 654g, and features a relatively modest maximum aperture of F8-F16. This lens is ideal for wildlife, sports, family, and pet photography, among others, and boasts a minimum focus distance of just 86cm, allowing it to fill the frame with small subjects.

The lens is equipped with dual linear motors for fast, quiet, and accurate autofocus, and can achieve continuous shooting speeds of up to 30 frames per second on the Sony A7 V and 120fps on the A9 III. Priced at $849.99 / £799, the lens comes with a teleconverter compatible with Sony's teleconverter system, allowing for even greater reach.
