Explore the world with 200-600 mm zoom
Perfect for wildlife and more, this 200-600mm super-telephoto zoom can reach
as far as 840mm or 1200mm with 1.4x and 2.0x teleconverters, with full G lens
quality and AF performance. Aspherical and ED glass elements achieve superb
resolution throughout the zoom range, while Sony's Nano AR Coating cuts flare
and ghosting. The bokeh is gorgeous, too.
Zoom to 600 mm or 1,200 with teleconverter
Compatible with optional 1.4x and 2.0x teleconverters, for a maximum focal
length of 840 mm or 1,200 mm at F13. Both teleconverters are top quality,
retaining outstanding image quality and AF performance. Zoom and aperture range
with the 1.4x teleconverter is 280"840mm, F8-9. With the 2.0x teleconverter the
ranges are 400-1,200 mm, F11"13.3
High resolution throughout the zoom range
Five ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements and one aspherical element in
a new optical design offer superb resolution and image quality throughout the
zoom range. The aspherical element suppresses spherical aberration and
distortion, while the ED glass elements minimize chromatic aberration that can
be a problem at super-telephoto focal lengths
Fast, precise AF keeps up with swift subjects
Sony's DDSSM (Direct Drive SSM) system has the power and precision needed to
drive the lens's mechanism for remarkably fast, accurate focusing. High
positioning accuracy means that no movement is wasted. Pinpoint autofocus is
achieved with blazing speed. The DDSSM system is incredibly quiet, too.
Beautiful, natural G lens bokeh
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 striking images with deep,
creamy G lens bokeh.
Excellent control and reliability in the field
An internal zoom mechanism means that the length of the lens does not change
while zooming, for stable handheld operation with consistent balance.
Customizable focus hold buttons are in three locations 90 apart for easy
access when shooting in any orientation. A fluorine front element coating, plus
a dust- and moisture-resistant design, ensure high reliability in challenging
environments.
