    The new Sony FE 100-400mm f/5.6-8 OSS is a highly capable super-telephoto zoom designed for enthusiasts looking to extend their repertoire with a compact, lightweight portable option.

    Weighing in at just 654g and with a length of only 164.5mm, the 100-400mm f/5.6-8 FE features an optical design that includes two ED glass elements and two aspherical elements which combine to reduce colour bleeding and other unwanted aberrations, allowing you to capture images of subjects both near and distant with exceptional sharpness and clarity.

    With up to 0.41x magnification and a 0.86m minimum focus distance, you can also get vividly detailed close-ups of subjects like flowers and insects as well.

    This optical formula also ensures the handsome compression effects you can get with a lens of this calibre, and it also boasts a nine-blade circular aperture to deliver highly desirable smooth and natural-looking bokeh.
