{"product_id":"sony-fe-100-400mm-f-5-6-8-oss-lens","title":"Sony FE 100-400mm f\/5.6-8 OSS Lens","description":"\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eThe Sony FE 100-400mm F5.6-8 OSS Lens is a compact and lightweight full-frame super-telephoto zoom lens designed for photographers who want impressive reach without the weight and bulk traditionally associated with long telephoto lenses. Covering a versatile 100-400mm focal length range, this Sony E-mount lens is ideal for wildlife, bird photography, sports, aviation, motorsports, travel and outdoor photography, while its built-in Optical SteadyShot image stabilisation helps produce sharper handheld images at longer focal lengths.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCompact 100-400mm Super-Telephoto Zoom\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eThe 100-400mm focal length range provides excellent flexibility for photographing distant subjects, allowing you to fill the frame with birds, wildlife, sports competitors, aircraft and other subjects that are difficult to approach. The long end of the zoom also creates a pleasing telephoto compression effect, bringing distant backgrounds visually closer to your subject.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eDespite its impressive reach, the lens weighs approximately 654g and measures around 164.5mm in length, making it considerably easier to carry and handle than many larger super-telephoto lenses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eExcellent Optical Performance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eSony has designed the FE 100-400mm F5.6-8 OSS with two ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements and two aspherical elements to help reduce chromatic aberration, colour bleeding and other optical aberrations. This provides clear, detailed rendering throughout the zoom range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eA 9-blade circular aperture also contributes to smooth and natural-looking background blur, helping subjects stand out against distracting backgrounds when shooting at longer focal lengths.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFast and Precise Autofocus\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eThe lens uses dual linear motors to provide fast, precise and quiet autofocus, making it particularly well suited to active subjects such as birds in flight, wildlife, sports and aircraft. Quiet AF operation also makes the lens suitable for video recording where minimising focusing noise is important.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eWhen paired with compatible Sony cameras, the lens can take advantage of advanced high-speed continuous shooting and autofocus capabilities, including up to approximately 120fps AF\/AE tracking with the Sony α9 III under Sony's specified conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOptical Image Stabilisation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eBuilt-in Optical SteadyShot (OSS) image stabilisation helps compensate for camera shake when shooting handheld, which is particularly valuable when using the lens at 300-400mm. Compatible camera bodies can also provide coordinated stabilisation for further improvements in handheld shooting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eImpressive Close-Up Capability\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eAlthough designed as a super-telephoto lens, the Sony FE 100-400mm F5.6-8 OSS can also be used for detailed close-up photography. Minimum focusing distance ranges from approximately 1.13m at 100mm to 0.86m at 400mm, with a maximum magnification of 0.41x.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eThis makes the lens surprisingly useful for photographing flowers, insects and other smaller subjects while retaining the working distance associated with a telephoto lens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOptional Teleconverter Support\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eFor photographers who need even greater reach, the lens supports Sony's optional SEL14TC 1.4x and SEL20TC 2.0x teleconverters. With the 2x teleconverter, the lens can reach 800mm, while use on an APS-C camera provides an equivalent field of view of up to approximately 1200mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDesigned for Outdoor Photography\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eThe lens features a dust and moisture resistant design, with sealing around critical joints and seams to provide additional reliability when shooting outdoors. Sony specifies that the lens is designed with dust and moisture resistance in mind but is not completely sealed against dust or water droplets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePractical Telephoto Controls\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eThe lens includes a customisable Focus Hold button, allowing photographers to temporarily lock focus or assign other supported camera functions. A combined focus mode and focus range limiter switch provides AF FULL, AF ∞-3m and MF settings for faster operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eA zoom lock switch prevents unwanted lens extension when carrying the camera or pointing the lens downwards, while the dedicated SteadyShot switch provides quick access to optical stabilisation control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-spread=\"false\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSony FE 100-400mm F5.6-8 OSS Lens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull-frame Sony E-mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100-400mm super-telephoto zoom range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ef\/5.6-8 maximum aperture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt-in Optical SteadyShot image stabilisation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual linear motors for fast, precise AF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuiet autofocus operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo ED glass elements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo aspherical elements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e9-blade circular aperture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUp to 0.41x maximum magnification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.86m minimum focus distance at 400mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFocus Hold button\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFocus mode and focus range limiter switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZoom lock switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDust and moisture resistant design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with Sony 1.4x and 2x teleconverters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUp to 800mm with optional 2x teleconverter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight 654g construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e67mm filter thread\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIdeal For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eThe Sony FE 100-400mm F5.6-8 OSS is ideal for wildlife photography, bird photography, sports, motorsports, aviation, nature, travel and outdoor photography. Its combination of 100-400mm reach, fast autofocus, Optical SteadyShot and compact 654g design makes it particularly appealing to photographers looking for a portable super-telephoto lens for Sony full-frame mirrorless cameras.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eDesigned for Sony E-mount full-frame cameras, the FE 100-400mm F5.6-8 OSS is part of Sony's FE lens system. It can also be used on compatible Sony APS-C E-mount cameras, where the field of view becomes narrower and provides greater effective telephoto reach. The lens is also compatible with selected Sony teleconverters, including the SEL14TC and SEL20TC, subject to camera and lens compatibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-spread=\"false\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMount: Sony E\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Full Frame\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFocal Length: 100-400mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum Aperture: f\/5.6-8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimum Focus Distance: 1.13m at 100mm \/ 0.86m at 400mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum Magnification: 0.41x\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptical Stabilisation: Yes, Optical SteadyShot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFocus Drive: Dual linear motors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptical Construction: 2 ED elements, 2 aspherical elements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAperture Blades: 9, circular\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFilter Diameter: 67mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum Diameter: Approx. 78.2mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength: Approx. 164.5mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: Approx. 654g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: SEL100400 \/ SEL100400B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTeleconverter Compatible: Sony SEL14TC and SEL20TC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-spread=\"false\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSony FE 100-400mm F5.6-8 OSS Lens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eALC-SH188 Lens Hood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront Lens Cap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRear Lens Cap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSony specifies the dedicated ALC-SH188 lens hood is supplied with the lens and designed to help prevent unwanted flare and ghosting.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sigma UK Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58934656696694,"sku":"SEL100400B.SYX","price":799.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1165\/5118\/files\/tumbnail_4cc6fa13-7739-4017-9917-8a9b6fa58c86.jpg?v=1791465707","url":"https:\/\/www.cambrianphoto.co.uk\/products\/sony-fe-100-400mm-f-5-6-8-oss-lens","provider":"Cambrian Photography","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
