New Sony FE 100-400mm F5.6-8 OSS telephoto zoom lens now available in Malaysia for RM3,499

Telephoto lenses are typically massive designs and equally high prices but through some means of technological sorcery, Sony has managed to craft a telephoto zoom lens for their full-frame Alpha E-mount cameras that is effective yet decently priced in the bargain too. Enter the Sony FE 100-400mm F5.6-8 OSS super telephoto lens.

Capable of offering 100mm – 400mm telephoto zoom, the lens weighs just 654g and integrates two Extra-low Dispersion glass elements and two aspherical elements combined with fast autofocus performance as well as built-in optical image stabilisation to capture distant, fast-moving subjects like birds, trains, aircraft and the like. A 9-blade circular aperture and optimisation of spherical aberration ensures crisp subject detail with soft bokeh.

The lens is also able to offer excellent close-up shooting capabilities with a 0.86m minimum focusing distance at the telephoto end and 1.13m at the wide end with a maximum magnification of 0.41x. In addition, the lenses feature fast and quiet autofocus along with support for up to 120 frames per second continuous shooting in tandem with the full-frame Alpha 9 III.

The Sony FE 100-400mm F5.6-8 OSS can also work with an optional teleconverter to double the distance you can capture with the lens supporting focal lengths up to 800mm or up to 1,200mm in APS-C mode. We managed to take it for a spin at KL Bird Park to test out its capabilities – here’s a few of the test shots:
