A mobile G MasterTM 600 mm prime you can shoot handheld
Unrivalled G Master image quality and advanced AF come together in a 600 mm prime lens that redefines super-telephoto prime potential. With a compact E-mount body you have a perfectly balanced, mobile system that can capture sharp details on wildlife that can't be approached closely with unprecedented ease, even when handheld. Explore a new world of super-telephoto freedom.

The compact, lightweight, easy super-telephoto prime
This high-performance 600 mm F6.3 super-telephoto prime lens is the world’s lightest*1 at just 995 g (35.1 oz., minus tripod foot). A combination of G Master optics and the latest mechanical design achieves remarkably low weight, smooth handling, and minimum fatigue while delivering outstanding image quality when shooting handheld. Overall length is just 263 mm (10-3/8 in.) for outstanding mobility.

Superb G Master sharpness for breathtaking detail
Super ED (Extra-low Dispersion) and ED glass elements in an advanced optical design minimise aberration for high resolution that befits the G Master brand. Sony’s original Nano AR Coating II effectively suppresses flare and ghosting for superior clarity and contrast in backlit conditions. An 11-blade circular aperture and individually optimised spherical aberration contribute to smooth, creamy G Master bokeh.

AF that reliably captures challenging subjects
Two of Sony’s high-thrust XD (extreme dynamic) Linear Motors work with an advanced algorithm to bring out the full AF speed and precision potential of the latest camera bodies. Focus and subject tracking are fast, precise, and quiet. The unpredictable movements of birds and wildlife are reliably tracked and captured, even when shooting 120 fps bursts*2 with the α9 III body, for example.

Enhanced shooting freedom and control
Optical image stabilisation with selectable modes delivers sharp images when shooting handheld. The lens and a compatible body can work in concert for even more effective stabilisation.*3 Four focus hold buttons and a function ring*4 can be customised as needed, while Full Time DMF and Focus Range Limit switches offer flexible focus control. Focal length can be extended to 1200 mm with an optional teleconverter.*5

*4. Functions that can be assigned to the Function Ring will depend on the camera used. Refer to the corresponding camera Help Guide for details. Some functions may not be available with some cameras; in such cases Power Focus is assigned by default.
*5. SEL14TC and SEL20TC teleconverters supported.

Reliable in challenging outdoor conditions
A dust and moisture resistant design*6 ensures high reliability in outdoor conditions where light rain and airborne dust might otherwise be a problem. The front lens element features a fluorine coating that prevents contaminants from sticking to the lens surface while making it easier to clean.
*6. Not guaranteed to be 100% dust and moisture proof

Individually optimised for exquisite bokeh
In addition to featuring an innovative new optical design, the spherical aberration of each lens is individually calibrated to deliver optimum bokeh quality. An 11-blade circular aperture contributes to smooth, beautiful ball bokeh. Gorgeous G Master bokeh can really make subjects stand out, especially at a super-telephoto focal length.

A great choice for movies
Innovative lens technology ensures that focus breathing is effectively suppressed for smooth, professional-looking movies. The XD Linear Motor drive system and circular aperture unit are quiet too, so movie audio won’t be spoiled by lens noise or vibration. Linear Response MF supports direct, intuitive manual focus control when needed.

Customisable for any shooting style
Four focus hold buttons allow easy access in any orientation. A function ring can be assigned to control APS-C/Full Frame switching, Preset Focus,*5 or Power Focus. A dedicated switch is also provided for optical stabilisation ON/OFF switching and mode selection.

Quick, easy focus adjustment
If focus locks onto the wrong subject, it can be returned to the intended subject simply by rotating the focus ring when the Full-time DMF switch is ON. A Focus Range Limit switch allows the lens’s focus range to be limited for faster focusing. This type of detailed control significantly enhances overall focus flexibility.
