    Superlative G Master quality in the world’s lightest1 600mm F4.0 lens uses two XD (extreme dynamic) Linear Motorsfor fast precise autofocus to take full advantage of the world’s fastest cameras2 - reaching speeds up to 20fps with the 24MP α9 and up to 10fps with the 42.4MP α7R III and 24.2MP α7 III.

    World’s lightest 1 600mm F 4.0 super - telephoto lens

    The remarkable light weight and excellent balance of the FE 600mm F4.0GM OSS lens - weighing it at only 6.71 lbs.- is achieved through an innovative optical design that includes a large XA (extreme aspherical) element, three fluorite elements and one ED glass element as well as the liberal usage of durable magnesium alloy components. The new design of this well balanced lens, reduces the number of elements deployed at the front of the barrel, resulting in quicker, more precise panning, whether shooting handheld or on a monopod.

    1 Compared to 600mm F2.8 lenses for 35mm full-frame format cameras, as of June 2019, Sony survey.

    XD (extreme dynamic) Linear Motors for fast precise autofocus

    To make full use of the rapidly evolving performance speed of modern and future camera bodies, the lens’s focus group is driven by two XD (extreme dynamic) Linear Motors that achieve higher thrust and efficiency than conventional types of AF drive motors. The XD Linear Motors deliver new levels of fast, precise, quiet autofocus operation and contribute to reliable and tenacious AF tracking that sports and wildlife photographers will appreciate. Additionally, a new algorithm developed specifically for the XD motors, notably improves their response, minimizing lag and instability that can occur when driving a large aperture focus lens group, resulting in quiet, low-vibration operation.

    Superlative G Master quality

    All lenses bearing the G Master brand are designed to extremely high standards, ensuring that outstanding contrast at high spatial frequencies is maintained right out to the image edges. The optical design includes a large aperture XA (extreme aspherical) element and three fluorite elements that help to minimize axial chromatic aberration that can be a problem in large-aperture lenses, as well as lateral chromatic aberration that can reduce resolution towards the image periphery. Color bleeding is effectively suppressed, allowing clear reproduction of the finest subject details, while Sony’s original Nano AR coating suppresses any unwanted reflections, glare, or ghosting.

    3Xflourite

    wide ap

    11 blade

    3x fluorite elements, 1x ED glass element reduces flare and ghosting

    Based on a new optical design that conforms to stringent G Master standards, the FE 600mm F4.0GM OSS includes three fluorite elements and one ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass element that help to reduce chromatic aberration, a common problem in telephoto lenses. Extremely high resolution is maintained right out to the image edges. Spherical aberration is optimized to create a perfect balance between high resolution and soft, beautiful bokeh through careful control at both the design and manufacturing stages. Each lens is individually tested and adjusted to achieve ideal characteristics.

    Wide F4.0 max aperture

    The wide F4.0max aperture maintains exposure and depth of field while also allowing maximum light for shooting in almost any condition. When changing your aperture to defocus the background, the areas out of the focal plane appear blurred. This ‘bokeh’ effect of the blurred background can be enhanced with circular aperture blades used in this lens.

    11-blade circular aperture contributes to gorgeous bokeh

    Complementing the wide F4.0aperture are the 11-blade circular aperture blades that result in soft-edged bokeh that is a hallmark of the Sony G Master series. While conventional aperture blades have flat sides creating unappealing, polygonal shaped defocused points of light. α lenses overcome this problem through a unique design that keeps the aperture almost perfectly circular from its wide-open setting to when it is closed by 2 stops. Smoother, more natural defocusing can be obtained as a result. In addition to careful control of spherical aberration at the design stage, each lens is individually tested and adjusted during manufacture to achieve the highest possible bokeh quality.

    Yes, it’s expensive. Try to get these shots without it, though. Background drops out (nice bokeh) and details pop. Edge-to-edge and corner-to-corner this lens is tack sharp and it straight-up rocks. Lighter than you expect, even hand-holdable (though not for long). Full marks and then some. Just watch out for heat shimmer if you’re shooting a game on turf in midday sun. (But that’s not the lens’s fault…)

    5.0 out of 5 stars Expensive but a phenomenal Sony GM lens
    Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2023
    Yes it’s expensive. But keep in mind it’s comparable cost wise to the other 600mm f4 prime lenses from Canon and Nikon. I’ve been using my Sony 600f4 for the last 2 years. I use it with my A1 and A7R4 Sony bodies. I started out with the Sony 200-600 lens before upgrading. People often try and compare the 200-600 with the 600f4. While the 200-600 is an excellent lens, I’ve found that the 600 will resolve the fine details on high megapixel camera bodies better. Not to mention I usually end up with a higher keeper rate with the prime lens as well. And it better for the price of course. It has its downside like the fixed focal length which can sometimes be too much. And it maybe too heavy for some users. I use it handheld 90% of the time since I like the freedom of movement over using a bulky tripod. The f4 aperture also comes in very handy at early morning and late evening hours. What else….it also works extremely well with the Sony teleconverters. Now…is it worth approximately 6x the price of the 200-600? Only you can answer that. For me, yes it’s worth it.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Perfection comes at a 13k price tag
    Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2022
    Yes, yes and yes. To all those questions you had in your head.
    Is it sharp? Yes.
    It’s light? Yes
    Are there better options? Also yes.

    The price tag of this beauty is hard to swallow, specially with extremely competitive lenses like the Sony 200-600 and Sigma sport lenses. Edge to edge sharpness is amazing. Even more so when paired with the A1. This lens should be considered an investment rather than an impulsive purchase.
