Sony announced another addition to its flagship full-frame G Master series lens line-up, the new FE 600mm F4 GM OSS super – telephoto prime lens. This will be their longest reaching prime lens and world’s lightest in its class, featuring high- performance AF, high resolution and bokeh.
Sony’s longest reaching prime lens, the new 600mm includes many of the company’s most advanced optical and mechanical technologies. The lightest in its class1, weighing in at approx. 3040g, the FE 600mm F4 GM OSS features a balanced design. Along with the FE 400mm F2.8 GM OSS lens, the new 600mm gives professional sports, wildlife and news photographers more options for capturing subjects at long distances with extreme accuracy and detail.
“With two new lenses announced today, our growing E-mount lens line-up now includes 33 full- frame models and 51 lenses in total. The 10th model from our flagship G Master series, the new 600mm F4 raises the bar for speed, mobility and control in a super-telephoto prime lens,” said Dai Tanaka, Director, Digital Imaging Division, Sony Electronics Asia Pacific.
“Combining the extensive 600mm reach with features like 20 fps shooting and AF/AE calculations at 60 times per second on the α9 or extremely high resolution, high speed performance on the α7R III allow professional photographers to create images that were simply not possible to capture before.”
The new FE 600mm F4 GM OSS lens features two XD (extreme dynamic) Linear Motors that drive the lens’ focus group to provide fast, precise AF and reliable subject tracking. This new large aperture super-telephoto
prime lens features a better level of image quality and detail, contrast and resolution maintained all the way to the corners of the image. The optical design includes a large XA (extreme aspherical) and an ED (extra-low dispersion) element that suppress all common telephoto lens aberrations, plus three fluorite elements that help to minimise chromatic aberration and suppress any amount of colour bleeding.
Pricing and Availability
The FE 600mm F4 GM OSS will be available in Malaysia from July 2019.
