Typically, super-telephoto lenses come with two big compromises: massive size and weight and a hefty price tag. Sony’s latest G Master additions aim to leave these burdens behind.
The New FE 400mm F4.5 GM OSS and FE 600mm F6.3 are designed to pack serious reach into remarkably compact packages (approx. 1 kg). Both are built for Sony’s full-frame E-mount system, combining G Master optics, fast autofocus, and optical image stabilization in a design more optimized for handheld shooting.
The result is a pair of versatile lenses that wildlife and sports photographers will really appreciate in their toolkit.
