Sony FE 400mm f/4.5 GM OSS Lens

The Sony FE 400mm f/4.5 GM OSS Lens delivers serious super-telephoto reach in an exceptionally lightweight and agile design. Built for professional and advanced photographers shooting wildlife, birds, sports and fast-moving action, this G Master prime combines outstanding optical performance, rapid autofocus and powerful optical stabilisation in a remarkably portable 400mm package.

Weighing just 994g without the tripod mount, the FE 400mm f/4.5 GM OSS makes handheld and mobile super-telephoto shooting significantly easier while retaining the image quality and performance expected from Sony's G Master range. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

Outstanding G Master Optical Performance

A sophisticated optical design featuring 22 elements in 16 groups uses ED and Super ED glass to deliver excellent resolving power while minimising optical aberrations. The result is impressive detail and clarity across the frame, making the lens well suited to demanding high-resolution Alpha camera bodies. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

The bright f/4.5 maximum aperture also provides strong subject separation, while an 11-blade circular aperture helps produce smooth, natural-looking background blur and bokeh. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

Fast, Precise Dual XD Linear Motor Autofocus

Dual XD (Extreme Dynamic) Linear Motors provide the fast and responsive autofocus performance required for unpredictable subjects and high-speed action. Whether you're tracking birds in flight, wildlife or sporting events, the focusing system is designed to keep pace with the performance of Sony Alpha camera bodies.

Autofocus performance is maintained when using compatible 1.4x and 2x teleconverters, allowing photographers to extend their shooting range while retaining high-performance AF operation. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}

Incredibly Lightweight and Balanced

At only 994g without the tripod mount, the Sony FE 400mm f/4.5 GM OSS offers impressive portability for a full-frame 400mm prime. Its weight is distributed closer to the camera body, improving balance and making it easier to quickly reposition the lens and track moving subjects. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}

This agile design is particularly useful for photographers who spend long periods shooting handheld or need to travel significant distances with their equipment.

Built-In Optical SteadyShot Stabilisation

Powerful Optical SteadyShot (OSS) stabilisation helps reduce the effects of camera shake when shooting at extreme telephoto focal lengths. Multiple stabilisation modes support both panning and dynamic shooting, giving photographers greater flexibility when following fast-moving subjects. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}

Professional Controls at Your Fingertips

The FE 400mm f/4.5 GM OSS is equipped with controls designed for fast professional operation, including four customisable focus hold buttons, a focus range limiter, dedicated stabilisation controls and a function ring. The function ring can be assigned to useful operations such as quickly switching to APS-C crop mode or recalling a focus position for repeated action. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}

Ready for Challenging Shooting Conditions

Designed for demanding outdoor photography, the lens features a dust and moisture-resistant construction with sealing around its buttons and rings. A fluorine coating on the front element helps resist dust and oil while making the surface easier to clean. Its durable engineering-plastic construction also helps keep overall weight to a minimum. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7} :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}

Extended Reach with Sony Teleconverters

For photographers who need even greater reach, the Sony FE 400mm f/4.5 GM OSS is compatible with Sony's 1.4x and 2x teleconverters. This makes the lens a versatile choice for wildlife, bird and sports photographers who want a portable 400mm prime with the option to extend their focal length when required. :contentReference[oaicite:9]{index=9}
