Lense SONY 200-600mm f5.6-6.3 G OSS

Key features of Lense SONY 200-600mm f5.6-6.3 G OSS

Intended for amateurs, enthusiasts and professionals in nature, aircraft, railroad and sports shooters, the FE 200-600mm f / 5.6-6.3 G OSS lenses from SONY will satisfy many photographers and videographers looking for a little extra reach with their full-frame E-mount camera. As a member of the G line, it is designed for outstanding resolution and sharpness with minimal aberrations, something assisted by the implementation of five ED elements and one aspherical element, plus Nano AR and fluorine coatings. It also features a relatively compact size by using a maximum aperture range of f / 5.6-6.3, and is equipped with a Direct Drive SSM autofocus system and Optical SteadyShot image stabilization for performance at all focal lengths.

This lens features many other settings and controls to make operation smooth and intuitive for a variety of shooting styles. This includes a zoom torque adjustment ring that allows users to dial in the rigidity of the zoom mechanism. It also has an internal focusing system with a minimum focusing distance of only 7.88' as well as a focus range limiting switch for faster focusing. Other physical controls and options include several customizable focus hold buttons, an AF / MF switch and a rotatable and removable tripod mount. In addition, it has a dust- and weather-resistant construction and an eleven-blade circular diaphragm.

• Sharp G lens resolution throughout the zoom range

The FE 200-600mm features excellent corner-to-corner sharpness throughout the 200-600mm zoom range. To achieve this resolution, it incorporates one aspherical element and five ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements in an improved optical design to minimize chromatic aberrations that can be a problem at super-telephoto focal lengths. In addition, a Nano AR coating is used to reduce flare and ghosting.

• 200-600mm with extended reach

The FE 200-600mm features a versatile 200-600mm zoom range with a variable aperture of f / 5.6-6.3 (wide to tele). This zoom range can be further extended by optional 1.4x or 2.0x teleconverters that extend the telephoto range to a maximum of 840mm or 1200mm respectively, while maintaining image quality and AF performance. The zoom and aperture range with the 1.4x teleconverter is 280-840mm, f / 8-9, and with the 2.0x teleconverter is 400-1200mm, f / 11-13.

• DDSSM offers fast, accurate and quiet autofocusing

The FE 200-600mm employs the DDSSM (Direct Drive Supersonic Wave Motor) system from SONY, which has the power and precision to drive the heavy focus group, ensuring that moving subjects are reliably and quietly tracked with speed and accuracy. High positioning accuracy means that precise autofocus is achieved quickly. The advanced DDSSM system is also very quiet, preventing any unwanted noise that might interrupt an unpredictable subject such as a resting bird or other wildlife.

• Internal zoom mechanism

An internal zoom mechanism means that the length of the lens remains constant during zooming, maintaining an ideal balance for steady shots. Since the zoom mechanism of the lense is internal, it also has a high resistance to dust and moisture, unlike other super-telephoto lenses that are often prone to attract dust and moisture on the lense. The internal zoom offers fast zoom operations with a pair of lightweight zoom ring and works well in difficult outdoor conditions.

• Eleven-blade circular aperture

An 11-blade circular aperture mechanism adds to the beauty of the bokeh produced by this lens, making it possible to use the narrow depth of field available at super-telephoto focal lengths to produce images with deep G-lens bokeh.

• ED glass reduces flare and ghosting

ED (extra-low dispersion) glass elements eliminate axial chromatic aberration and chromatic aberration caused by differences in magnification from the image. The 200-600mm lens incorporates five ED glass elements to maximize resolution and bokeh, while leaving edges accurately rendered with no fringing or unnatural coloration.

• Aspherical lens reduces spherical apertures

An aspherical lens is incorporated to reduce spherical aberration while reducing the size and weight of the lens. Spherical aberration is a slight misalignment of light rays projected onto the image plane. This is due to differences in refraction at different points in conventional spherical lenses that degrade image quality in large aperture lenses. Specially shaped "aspheric" elements near the diaphragm restore the alignment of light rays in the image plane, maintaining high sharpness and contrast, even at maximum aperture, and can also be used at other points in the optical path to reduce distortion. Well-designed aspherical elements can reduce the total number of elements required in the lens, thus reducing overall size and weight.

• Nano AR Coating

SONY 's original Nano AR Coating technology minimizes flare and ghosting for a dynamic range that achieves realistic gradation and detail with advanced camera sensors. Nano AR Coating is applied to inner lens surfaces to effectively suppress reflections that can cause flare and ghosting, significantly improving image clarity and contrast. This precisely defined, regular nanostructure enables precise light transmission, which contributes to high-quality images, even more so than with lenses using coatings with an irregular nanostructure.

• Built-in 3-mode Optical SteadyShot

Built-in Optical SteadyShot image stabilization with three different mode settings allows images to be sharp and in focus at super-telephoto focal lengths. Mode 2 offers ideal stabilization for panoramic shots, while Mode 3 offers enhanced viewfinder stabilization that makes framing dynamic sports or wildlife movement easier. 5-axis stabilization is available with compatible alpha bodies. Mode 3 is compatible with the latest version of a9 software. See the relevant support web pages for compatibility with other bodies.

• Customizable focus hold buttons

Customizable focus hold buttons are provided in three locations 90° apart for easy and instant access when shooting in any orientation. Once you have set the focus to where you want it, pressing one of the focus hold buttons on the lens cylinder will lock the lens at that focus distance. The focus hold buttons can also be customized through a menu on the camera, allowing them to be assigned to a different user-selected function.

• Rugged reliability

Lens sealing from SONY maximizes dust and moisture resistance, providing the reliability needed for outdoor use and harsh environmental conditions as demanded by professional photographers. In addition, the front lens element features a fluorine coating that helps prevent dirt and fingerprints from sticking, while making it easy to clean if they adhere to the lens surface.

• Instant auto / manual focus selection

Instantly and quickly switch between auto and manual focus via an AF/MF switch on the side of the lens. This makes operation faster and easier as you let the camera and lens focus for you, or you can decide to take control and manually focus on the exact spot of your choice.

• Fluorine Front Element Coating

The front lens element features a fluorine coating that helps prevent dirt and fingerprints from sticking, while making it easy to clean if they adhere to the lens surface.

• Focus range limiter

The focus range limit switch allows selection of a limited focus range when the fastest possible focus is required. Three settings are provided: Full, 133-8 '/ 10-2.4m, and Infinity-33' / 10m.

• MF Linear Response

The focus ring features MF linear response for fine and sensitive manual focus control. Manual focus changes linearly in response to focus ring rotation, giving you the immediacy of control needed for fast, accurate manual focusing.
