Posted on Sep 15, 2026 by Pro Moviemaker
Sony have announced two new G Master super telephoto prime lenses for the Alpha full-frame E-mount system, the FE 400MM F4.5 GM OSS with a focal length of 400 mm and the FE 600MM F6.3 GM OSS with a focal length of 600mm, both are the world’s lightest lenses in their respective categories.
The FE 400MM F4.5 GM OSS weighs approximately 994g and the FE 600MM F6.3 GM OSS approximately 995g, achieving the world’s lightest design in their respective categories. Their lightweight design makes them suitable for dynamic shooting styles that involve exploring the environment to identify and capture photographic opportunities and subjects. In addition, their carefully optimised weight balance provides excellent control during handheld shooting, including situations that require photographers to continuously keep subjects framed or track moving subjects. These features broaden the flexibility of super telephoto photography for subjects such as birds, wildlife and sports.
The lenses deliver the exceptional resolution and beautiful bokeh that define the G Master series across the super telephoto range, capturing distant subjects in fine detail. In addition, fast, precise and quiet AF performance enables photographers to quickly capture fast-moving subjects.
“When shooting super telephoto photography to capture subjects such as birds, wildlife and sports, both excellent handling and high imaging performance are required, whilst photographers must often carry their equipment around whilst pursuing their shooting subject,” says Jazz Sidharh, lens and peripheral marketing manager, Imaging Products and Solutions, Sony Europe. “Thanks to their world’s lightest design, the FE 400MM F4.5 GM OSS and FE 600MM F6.3 GM OSS offer excellent portability and handling. For subjects that remain just out of reach, the FE 600MM F6.3 GM OSS brings distant subjects closer, revealing remarkable detail while allowing photographers to maintain a respectful distance.”
“The FE 400MM F4.5 GM OSS captures subjects large in the frame while also including the background in the composition, enabling images with a strong sense of presence The FE 600MM F6.3 GM OSS takes advantage of its long 600 mm focal length to capture subjects that are difficult to approach at a larger scale, enabling powerful visual expression,” adds Sidharh. “By expanding its super telephoto lens line-up, Sony continues to support creators in broadening their range of expression with lens choices suited to different subjects and shooting styles.”
Both lenses will be available to buy from end of September 2026, FE 400MM F4.5 GM OSS for approx. 2,800EUR/2,400GBP and FE 600MM F6.3 GM OSS for approx. 3,900EUR/3,300GBP. Pricing may vary by country and region.
