Covering an extensive telephoto range, the Sony FE 200-600mm f/5.6-6.3 G OSS is an adaptable zoom lens that excels in nature, wildlife, and sports photography. Its impressive reach, combined with a reasonable maximum aperture range, contributes to a design that is both lightweight and portable. As a member of the G series, this super-telephoto zoom lens prioritizes optical performance, focus speed, and meticulous attention to handling details.
Long-Reaching, Stabilized Zoom
This super-telephoto lens, crafted for full-frame E-mount cameras, is also compatible with APS-C models, offering an equivalent focal length range of 300-900mm. The maximum aperture range of f/5.6-6.3 is designed to reduce both size and weight, while still delivering outstanding performance across various applications. Additionally, the Optical SteadyShot image stabilization technology effectively reduces the effects of camera shake, resulting in sharper images when shooting handheld at slower shutter speeds.
The OSS features three specialized modes, which encompass panning and viewfinder stabilization priority settings. Additionally, it can be integrated with certain cameras that utilize sensor-shift image stabilization, thereby enhancing the management of camera blur. The internal zoom architecture restricts the lens's overall length during zooming, promoting a more intuitive and comfortable handling experience. Furthermore, it is compatible with optional 1.4x and 2x FE teleconverters, allowing for an extended reach of the lens.
G Lens Series
The lens design incorporates five extra-low dispersion elements, which effectively manage chromatic aberrations and diminish color fringing, thereby enhancing clarity and color accuracy. Additionally, an aspherical element is strategically positioned at the rear of the optical configuration to mitigate distortion and spherical aberrations, resulting in exceptional sharpness and precise image rendering. To further improve performance in challenging lighting conditions, a Nano AR Coating has been applied to reduce surface reflections, flare, and ghosting, leading to superior contrast and color reproduction. Furthermore, the rounded 11-blade diaphragm facilitates a visually appealing bokeh effect when utilizing selective focus techniques.
Fast and Precise Autofocus
The Direct Drive Super Sonic Wave Motor (DDSSM) autofocus system delivers rapid, silent, and accurate focusing capabilities, making it ideal for both photography and videography. The linear response manual focus control enhances the user experience by providing a more intuitive handling, while the AF/MF switch positioned on the lens barrel allows for easy and tactile adjustment of this setting.
The lens barrel is equipped with three customizable focus hold buttons, allowing for intuitive tactile control and quick access to preferred settings. With a minimum focusing distance of 7.9 feet and a maximum magnification of 0.2x, this lens is particularly advantageous for portrait and headshot photography. Additionally, the inclusion of a focus range limiter and focus hold controls enhances handling efficiency and accelerates performance when capturing images of moving subjects.
Professional, Durable Design
The advantages of dust and weather-sealed construction are evident when utilizing the lens in adverse shooting conditions. The front lens element is equipped with a fluorine coating that safeguards the glass surface from smudges and dust accumulation. Additionally, the removable rotating tripod mount allows for swift transitions between horizontal and vertical shooting orientations.
