Offering Excellent Control for Handheld Shooting and High Imaging Performance 
MANILA, PHILIPPINES- Sony announces 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 400mm 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 994g2 and the FE 600mm F6.3 GM OSS approximately 995g2, 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 optimized 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.
1 As of the September 2026 product announcement according to Sony survey.
FE 400MM F4.5 GM OSS: Among interchangeable super telephoto lenses incorporating a 400 mm focal length and a maximum aperture of F4.5 or faster for full-frame digital cameras.

Key Features of the FE 400mm F4.5 GM OSS and FE 600mm F6.3 GM OSS
Lightweight and Compact Design with Excellent Handling for Super Telephoto Shooting
The FE 400mm F4.5 GM OSS weighs approximately 994g2 and the FE 600mm F6.3 GM OSS approximately 995g2, achieving the world’s lightest design1in their respective categories.
The FE 400mm F4.5 GM OSS measures approximately 108 mm in maximum diameter and 242 mm in length, while the FE 600mm F6.3 GM OSS measures approximately 108 mm in maximum diameter and 263 mm in length. Their compact dimensions enhance portability and enable comfortable handling and control during handheld shooting.
In addition, a weight balance designed to shift the centre of gravity closer to the camera body makes it easier to maintain framing on a subject, track moving subjects and perform panning shots. The lightweight design and ease of handling increase flexibility in super telephoto photography, making it easier to search for subjects while shooting handheld especially even in environments where a tripod or monopod may be difficult to use, as well as during long handheld shooting sessions.
The latest optical design incorporating three Super ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements and one ED glass element effectively suppresses chromatic aberration and other optical aberrations that commonly occur at super telephoto focal lengths, delivering high resolution from the centre of the image to the edges.
Sony's proprietary Nano AR Coating II significantly reduces ghosting and flare even in backlit conditions, delivering clear and crisp imagery.
In addition, an 11-blade circular aperture and optimization of spherical aberration during both the design and manufacturing processes achieve the beautifully smooth bokeh characteristic of G Master.
Fast, Precise and Quiet AF Performance and Optical Image Stabilisation for Stable Super Telephoto Shooting
Two XD (extreme dynamic) Linear Motors and a control algorithm optimized specifically for these lenses deliver fast, precise and quiet AF performance. This enables reliable tracking of fast-moving subjects such as birds, wildlife and sports. The lenses are fully compatible with Alpha 9 III continuous shooting at up to 120 fps with AF/AE tracking.3
The lenses incorporate built-in optical image stabilisation, helping to reduce camera shake during handheld shooting at super telephoto focal lengths.
The lenses also support the camera body’s Active Mode image stabilisation and coordinated image stabilisations control4, enabling high-quality still-image and movie shooting with reduced blur, even when shooting handheld. Furthermore, it supports the camera body’s breathing compensation function5, which corrects changes in angle of view caused by shifts in focus position during movie recording.
