Reviews Of The New Sony 400-800mm f/6.3-8 G
Tony & Chelsea Northrup
"I'm going to buy the 400-800 here, it's perfect for wildlife."
Mark Galer
“The 400-800mm is a good choice, especially if you like filling the frame with your subject or you’re working with smaller wildlife such as small birds – this is going to be an attractive lens.” – Mark Galer
Adorama
“At first look, you can see how compact it is for an 800mm lens, and that the lens maintains a consistent center of gravity thanks to internal zooming and a short rotation....if you’re using it for sports or wildlife, not having to do that long rotation in manual, and that big change in gravity when you change to zoom – it’s definitely a great advantage.” – Sal D’Alia
Jared Polin
"If you are a birder, if you are into wildlife – this is a beautiful lens."
B&H Photo Video Pro Audio
“With an impressive focal length, super-fast autofocus, internal zoom, and the high-quality glass you’ve come to expect from Sony, the 400-800mm is a great option for wildlife, sports and so much more.” – Matt Zefi
Patrick Murphy-Racey
“One of the things I really appreciate about the 400-800mm G is the short throw on the zoom ring. In baseball, you can have your eye on the shortstop and then need to acquire the left fielder fast.”
Kai W
“There’s no denying the usefulness of this lens. The appeal of this is massive.”
Steve Perry
“I tell you what it didn’t take long for this lens to really grow on me. Although that’s not probably a surprise since this is aimed squarely at the bird and photography crowd.”
The Camera Store TV
“...it gives you that extra reach and allows you to get in closer than you’ve ever gone before.” – Dave Paul
Jason Vong
"There are just some shots that you really cannot get without a long boy – any closer and you risk scaring the animals away. But from a distance, with this kind of reach – you're not going to be disturbing their peace."
