In stark contrast to its recent FE 100-400mm f/4.5 G Master lens, Sony has announced the 100-400mm f/5.6-8 OSS, the most affordable full-frame 100-400mm lens on E-mount. As expected, there are some trade-offs for Sony to hit its aggressive price point with the FE 100-400mm f/5.6-8 OSS. Among its 15 elements, the new 100-400mm lens features a pair of ED elements and two aspherical lenses. The Sony 100-400mm f/5.6-8 OSS lens is not quite a macro lens, but it nonetheless delivers strong close-up performance thanks to its 0.41x maximum magnification. Pricing and AvailabilityThe Sony FE 100-400mm f/5.6-8 OSS lens will be available in September for $849.
