Sony’s new 400mm and 600mm super-telephoto primes make light work of a heavy hobby — here are my favorite wildlife photos I shot with the pair
Sony has unveiled two super-telephoto E-mount prime lenses, the FE 400mm F4.5 GM OSS and FE 600mm F6.3 GM OSS, and they're the lightest of their kind — I've tested them both.
Sony's new 400mm and 600mm super-telephoto primes, the FE 400mm F4.5 GM OSS and FE 600mm F6.3 GM OSS, have made light work of the demanding hobby of wildlife photography. In this review, the 994g and 995g lenses, respectively, were tested in the field to assess their performance and value. Both lenses boast a brighter maximum aperture than Sony's zoom lens and are notably lighter, making them more manageable for long shooting sessions.
Despite their lightweight build, they are weather-resistant, have a rubber seal on the lens mount, and feature Sony's Optical SteadyShot image stabilization. Priced at $2,699 / £2,400 for the 400mm and $3,699 / £3,300 for the 600mm, these lenses offer a more affordable option than Sony's high-end 400mm F2.8 and 600mm F4 pro primes, while still delivering superior optical quality.
