Compact reach and easy control

The 100-400mm f/5.6-8 OSS is a compact, lightweight supertelephoto option that provides a portable and affordable option for Alpha photographers desiring extra reach and high autofocus performance in a rugged, ergonomic package.

Offering the popular 100-400mm focal length range, this new lens rounds out the Sony 1st party offering in the supertelephoto space, providing an option for more casual photographers for whom the size and weight of existing options can be a barrier.

Especially valuable for wildlife shooters, the 100-400mm f/5.6-8 OSS achieves a remarkable 0.41x magnification in the telephoto zoom position, giving incredible close-up performance.

Rapid Autofocus
Dual linear motors provide high-speed tracking autofocus for this lens, ensuring reliable, satisfying results even for fast-moving subjects. This autofocus is maintained even when using 1.4x and 2x teleconverters, giving Alpha photographers access to extreme reach in a remarkably compact form factor. Even with a variable aperture, the 100-400mm f/5.6-8 OSS generates some intense background defocus, and employs a rounded 9-bladed aperture to ensure that bokeh is clean and free from distracting features.

Remarkable close focus
Most lenses’ minimum focus distance increases as you zoom in, but the 100-400 f/5.6-8 has a unique optical design that actually brings the minimum focus distance closer as you zoom in, providing near-macro magnification with a generous working distance so you can keep your distance from flighty subjects.

Portable and reliable
Weighing just 654g, the 100-400mm f/5.6-8 OSS is the most compact and lightweight way to get 400mm reach into your camera bag. The lens is also fully dust and weather sealed and robustly constructed, ensuring it’s ready for the challenging conditions you may encouter in the field.
