Wildlife Photography With Super telephoto zoom lens
A super telephoto zoom lens that shows the best performance in wildlife and sports shooting has appeared. The main character is the G-series FE 200-600mm F5.6-6.3 G OSS (SEL200600G), released by Sony in July. With a focal length of up to 600mm, the FE 200-600mm F5.6-6.3 G OSS can capture subjects with a focal length of 800mm when using a teleconverter, making it a highly versatile lens for wildlife or sports photographers. The actuator that determines the AF performance is also equipped with a DDSSM (Direct Drive SSM) motor to boast stable and fast AF. Let’s meet Sony’s premium super-telephoto zoom lens FE 200-600mm F5.6-6.3 G OSS, which shows fantastic performance.
Super telephoto zoom lens
The FE 200-600mm F5.6-6.3 G OSS has a weight of 2,115g and a size of φ111.5 × 318mm. In addition, the DDSSM (Direct Drive SSM) motor included in high-end lenses is mounted to support high-speed, high-precision, quiet AF performance. A motor that moves in a linear, rotational motion helps ensure accurate and stable shooting, even with fast-moving subjects. The AF system, which greatly reduces noise, enables quiet shooting, which is the best performance when taking pictures of wild animals sensitive to changes in sound and surrounding environment. In addition, there is a focal length limit switch that can be divided into short-distance and long-distance, so you can easily change the mode while shooting.
The overwhelming focal length of up to 1800mm when using a teleconverter
The FE 200-600mm F5.6-6.3 G OSS is the first 600mm super-telephoto lens compatible. With teleconverters among E-mount (FE) lenses other than the G Master series. When the 2x teleconverter SEL20TC is installed. It is possible to secure a focal length of up to 1,200mm based on full-frame. It provides an angle of view of 1,800mm based on APS-C. In the case of the a9, phase-detection AF is supported up to F16. And in the case of the FE 200-600mm F5.6-6.3 G OSS, AF is supported up to F36.

The resolution is maximized through the lens configuration of 24 elements in 17 groups. Including 5 low-dispersion ED lenses with advanced optical design and 1 aspherical lens. ED lenses suppress chromatic aberration that easily occurs in telephoto lenses, and aspherical lenses minimize spherical aberration and distortion. Another thing to note is that the FE 200-600mm F5.6-6.3 G OSS has 11 circular diaphragm blades to achieve.

The beautiful bokeh effect unique to the G series. An iris is a device that changes the aperture of a lens by overlapping several blades. A general diaphragm has fewer blades, so it has a polygonal shape. When the aperture is closed, the shape of the bokeh is formed accordingly. Still, the 11-blade circular aperture of the FE 200-600mm F5.6-6.3 G OSS maintains. The bokeh shape in a circular shape even when the aperture is closed. Resulting in a smooth and natural bokeh effect. Can get In addition, it shows excellent durability by applying a Nano AR coating that suppresses ghosts and flares and a fluorine coating. That prevents contamination and damage to the lens, such as dust and fingerprints.
