Sony

KEY FEATURES

• Massive Focal Range: Provides an expansive 400–800mm reach, making it the first native Sony E-mount zoom lens to hit 800mm.
• Constant Physical Length: Utilizes an internal zoom mechanism that preserves a steady center of gravity for easier balancing on gimbals.
• Optical SteadyShot: Features built-in image stabilization with three selectable modes tailored for standard shooting, panning, and viewfinder stability.
• Weather-Sealed Build: Offers robust dust and moisture resistance alongside a protective fluorine coating on the large 105mm front element.
• Teleconverter Support: Compatible with Sony’s 1.4x and 2x teleconverters to extend the maximum reach up to 1600mm.
• Advanced Focus Controls: Equipped with a three-position focus range limiter, a full-time Direct Manual Focus switch, and customizable focus hold buttons.
• Variable Aperture: Features a maximum aperture range of f/6.3 at 400mm that slows down to f/8 at the 800mm maximum extension.
• Heavyweight Design: Weights 2475 grams (87.4 oz), requiring a sturdy tripod, monopod, or strong handheld technique for extended use.

KEY FEATURES

• Aperture & Range: World’s first full-frame telephoto zoom combining a 50-150mm focal range with a bright, constant f/2 maximum aperture.
• Optical Formula: 19 elements in 17 groups, including Extreme Aspherical (XA) and ED glass elements to maximize sharpness and control aberrations.
• Autofocus System: Four XD Linear Motors providing fast, near-silent tracking that supports up to 120 fps continuous shooting.
• Physical Handling: Internal zoom and focus design ensures the lens barrel does not extend or change length during operation.
• Tactile Controls: Equipped with a de-clickable aperture ring, an iris lock switch, an AF/MF toggle, and three customizable focus hold buttons.
• Video Optimization: Engineered with heavily suppressed focus breathing and Linear Response Manual Focus for precise, cinematic pull-focusing.
• Build & Weathering: Heavy-duty, dust- and moisture-resistant construction featuring a fluorine front coating and weighing 1,340 grams.
• Tripod Mount: Includes a rotating collar with a removable tripod foot that supports both 1/4″ and 3/8″ screws.
• Stabilization: Relies entirely on the camera body’s In-Body Image Stabilization (IBIS), as the lens lacks built-in optical stabilization.

KEY FEATURES

• Constant f/2 Aperture: Delivers exceptional low-light performance and shallow depth of field across the entire zoom range.
• Premium Optics: Uses XA and Super ED glass with Nano AR Coating II to maximize corner-to-corner sharpness and suppress flare.
• 11-Blade Diaphragm: Produces smooth, circular bokeh for beautiful background separation.
• High-Speed Autofocus: Four XD Linear Motors provide rapid, silent autofocus tracking at up to 120 fps.
• Cinema-Optimized Design: Features minimized focus breathing and linear-response manual focus ideal for video production.
• Tactile Aperture Ring: Includes an on/off click switch for silent, smooth aperture adjustments during filming.
• Zoom Smoothness Switch: Adjusts the torque of the zoom ring between Smooth and Tight to suit user preference.
• Professional Controls: Equipped with an Iris Lock switch, an AF/MF toggle, and two customizable focus hold buttons.
