Top Rated Gear: Used Sony FE 600mm f/4 GM OSS E-Mount Lens undefined

As Sony's longest reaching prime lens, the new 600mm includes many of the company's most advanced optical and mechanical technologies, producing exceptional image quality with extraordinary focusing speed and precision. The FE 600mm F4 GM OSS is also the lightest lens in its class , weighing in at approx. 6.71 lbs., and features an extremely balanced design to ensure the best possible shooting experience. Along with the acclaimed FE 400mm F2.8 GM OSS lens, the new 600mm lens gives professional sports, wildlife and news photographers more options for capturing subjects at a great distances with extreme accuracy and detail.   Fast, Precise and Quiet Autofocus  To take best advantage of the highly evolved autofocus systems of Sony's latest full-frame E-mount cameras, the new FE 600mm F4 GM OSS lens features two extreme dynamic (XD) linear motors that drive the lens' focus group to provide fast, precise AF and reliable subject tracking. These motors are supported by specially developed motion algorithms to minimize lag and instability, as well as to control noise levels, resulting in exceptionally quick, accurate and quiet autofocus performance, allowing the lens to capture dynamic, fast moving athletes or wildlife with ease.  Superb G Master Image Quality and Bokeh  As a member of Sony's flagship G Master series lenses, this new large aperture super-telephoto prime lens features an incredible level of image quality and detail, with outstanding contrast and resolution maintained all the way to the corners of the image. The unique optical design includes a large extreme aspherical (XA) element that effectively suppress all common telephoto lens aberrations, in addition to three fluorite elements that help to minimize chromatic aberration and suppress any amount of color bleeding. Sony's latest bokeh simulation technologies and XA element are also utilized to control spherical aberration and help achieve exquisite bokeh.  The lens features an 11-blade circular aperture mechanism that contributes to the high quality of bokeh in images, and it has been coated with Sony's original Nano AR coating to suppress any unwanted reflections, glare or ghosting in images.  The new FE 600mm F4 GM OSS is compatible with Sony's 1.4x and 2.0x E-mount tele-converters, producing outstanding imaging performance at extended focal lengths while maintaining fast, precise AF performance.  Lightweight, Balanced Design  The new super-telephoto prime lens provides a level of portability and maneuverability that has never been achieved before in a lens of its class. Based on technology from the acclaimed FE 400mm F2.8 GM OSS lens, the lightweight design of the new 600mm lens is achieved through the usage of three fluorite elements, with a reduced number of elements deployed at the front of the barrel. Magnesium alloy is also used throughout the lens to help minimize weight and bulk.  Also inherited from FE 400mm F2.8 GM OSS, the new 600mm lens features a lens design that is not front-heavy, reducing moment of inertia that resists rotation and ensuring quicker, more precise panning when shooting handheld or on a monopod.  Durability, Reliability and Control  To withstand the harsh conditions of sporting events and wildlife photography, Sony's new FE 600mm F4 GM OSS is built with a durable magnesium alloy and a strong, lightweight carbon fiber hood. The lens is dust and moisture resistant , and its front element is coated with fluorine to resist dirt and fingerprints.  FE 600mm F4 GM OSS features an ample number of hard controls on the lens, including customizable focus-hold buttons in four different locations on the lens barrel, which can be programmed for control of features, if desired. There is also a Full-Time DMF switch to immediately engage manual focus at any point, and a focus ring that features Linear Response MF for fine, responsive manual focus.  Additionally, the new lens includes built-in optical stabilization for dynamic action and three different 'Mode' settings, including a Mode 3 setting with an advanced algorithm that ensures easier framing when following moving subjects. It also features a function ring with selectable 'Preset' and 'Function' settings, and a drop-in filter slot that accepts Dia. 40.5mm ND and other filter types, as well as the optional VF-DCPL1 Drop-in Circular Polarizing Filter. The VF-DCPL1 filter can be rotated to achieve the desired polarization while installed in the lens

Bought this as I wanted to see what the best telephoto Prime from Sony was like. Ive owned Nikon and Olympus top quality telephoto primes & this Sony one stacks up against them very well. You get what you pay for sometimes. Photos attached here are low resolution - full quality from an A7R IV and A9mk3 are stunning.

Top quality 600mm F4 - good value

The 200-600mm Sony lens is so good that I have always wondered just how much better the prime could be. Well now I know - and it is better in every way. I primarily photograph birds so being able to use the teleconverters and still get great quality is a real plus. The difference in f stop actually works out to the difference between getting some shots and not, even in the heady days of high ISO and DeNoise. The lens is surprisingly light in the hand as it is so well balanced. The zoom lens still has its place in my kit bag, but the prime will definitely be my main lens from now on.

600mm v 200-600mm

The very best for bird and wildlife photography. Optically brilliant, super-fast focusing, working seamlessly with the Sony mirrorless camera system. Competitive or beats out all other mirrorless systems for lenses in this category.

Best 600mm f4

I've only had my 600F4 for 3 weeks but I've been at one with it from day one. The sharpness is first class as you would expect at this price point. What impresses me most is the beautiful balance. Whilst its around 800g more than a 200-600 6.3 it feels the same. I use this lens almost exclusively hand held for birds in flight.

Astonishingly good

I've hade the lens now for two weeks,I know it's expensive,but it's certainly a wonderful lens,and the results are outstanding,

Super sharp.

I have been using this lens for 4 weeks now. I mostly shoot small birds at around 5 to 10 meters distance, always at f4. The majority of shots are in at the sensor pixel sharpness limit on the birds eye and that is hand held. I simply cannot believe how good this setup is.

Ideal birding lens when coupled with the alpha-1

If you know, you know. The 600 f4 is unparalleled for its uses in wildlife photography. I have already taken this on a few trips and, while it's big and heavy with a long min focus distance, the photos it helps produce are beyond worth it. If you can afford a 600 f4 and you know why you need it, you must have it.

Beyond amazing, delivers when you need it the most

Superb quality lens, producing outstanding pictures.

Sony FE 600mm F4 GM OSS

Built quality is second to none. Autofocus is fast and accurate on the A1.  No complaints other than the $$,$$$.¢¢ price tag and the specialized camera bag you?ll have to get. It nearly fits inside my Atlas adventure backpack.

Niche lens with a price tag to match.

Amazing photo quality, sharpness, and speed. Beautiful bokeh effect. I do find it a bit heavy to use or move fast enough for animals moving quickly. Definitely will take some practice and will need stamina to carry it around. I highly recommend this lens.

Excellent quality, need to start lifting weights to build endurance

Absolutely love this lens! I was on the fence for a long time, but glad I finally just got it and I feel lucky that I was actually able to find one to purchase! The lens is huge, but it?s not as heavy as I was expecting, it?s extremely sharp, super fast and I really like the manual focus ring. It also comes in a nice carrying case.  If you?re looking to take your photography to the next level, this just might be the lens you?re looking for.

Amazing lens!

Changed my 200-600 for this.
I certainly haven't regretted it, this lens is perfect for my wildlife photography. I use it with my A1 which is the ideal combination. A fast lens with superfast focus and amazing bokeh. Resulting images have super intricate detail. 
I cannot fault the lens.

Utterly sublime

Excellent overall. Always sharp images and fast focus.

Suburb lens

This lens is tack sharp, and the dual linear motors make for super fast autofocus. Lens is much lighter and more balanced than any other 600mm I have ever worked with. These benefits are what makes the cost of this lens justifiable for me. I shoot 90% of my images hand held and I am shooting erratic fast moving subjects. This lens allows me to get the job done, and not get beat up in the process. For me - this lens is a dream come true.

Beyond my expectations.

It?s amazing! Paired with the a1 it?s simply perfection. Best 600F4 I?ve ever used. I?m shocked how balanced and easy to handhold it is. I also have the Sony 200-600 and while it?s good it doesn?t touch the optical performance and speed of the 600GM

Best 600F4 you can buy

Sharp, bright, robust, lightning-quick autofocus work and really light.
You can not imagine that 600mm f/4 can be that light - no problem to handhold for long periods of time when working with wildlife, which is nice that you do not need to carry a tripod/monopod for every time.

Best wildlife lens ever!!!

This lens is light and the images are of excellent quality even when your are at 600mm. I have recommended to a lot of people.

Beautiful lens

Best lens I have ever owned. Sharp, clear, and excellent.

Amazing lens for wildlife photography

You won't be sorry indulging your love of Wildlife Photography with this lens. Paired with the a1, you have an insanely great setup that's incredibly light for what you're getting. I didn't think it possible to surpass the performance of my 400mm f2.8, but this bad boy does it! This is quite simply Sony's greatest long lens, focusing quick as a wink, even on the eye of a small Garden Bird. . I haven't yet bothered to mount the teleconverters that I use with my 400mm f2.8 Gmaster. Close cropping in Lightroom gives me fantastic detail and the equivalent of 1200mm.

You won't be sorry for spending big bucks on this bad boy

I've had this lens for about a month and have used it quite a bit. For a large lens it is very easy to handle. I thought I'd have to shoot it on a tripod or at least a monopod but most of my shots have been hand held. The lens is really sharp. The detail is fantastic and the backgrounds just melt away. Worth every penny!

Amazing Lens

coming from a Nikon 500F4E FL ED and thought about adding the Nikon 600 but way too heavy. did hours of research and it turns out Sony has the best Pro camera/lens combo and is at least two generations ahead of the competition. decided to add the ultimate setup (A9II + 600GM) for action and birds. the Sony FE 600 GM is as light as my 500mm and is excellent beyond words! if you want the very best, this is it.

best telephoto on the market

I have been using this lens for a month and it is simply astounding. I have been using it with the A9ii and A7R4 and the focus is extremely precise anywhere from closest focus distance to subjects hundreds of feet away. Color correction is superb and the bokeh is pure butter. This lens works great with the 1.4x converter, as seen in the attached photographs of bears. Weight and balance for a 600 f4 is as good as it gets.

Perfection

It is a dream for all photographers to get hold of this lenses and I managed to buy this lenses one year after it was firstly released. Having tried for a few days, its reputation earned from photographers around the world is once proven again. It is light, fast and with excellent image quality.

Greatest Sony FE lenses

Extremely sharp lens, noticeably sharper than the 200-600

Ultra sharp lens

Great image quality and lightning fast focus even with a 2x.

Yummy

I've owned many telephoto lenses in the past. This Sony out-performs all others in every aspect! 

The weight alone is insane, and is easily manageable using handheld. 

I've used this lens with the A7r IV and A9, and performs beautifully!

The image quality is outstanding with some of the best Bokeh I've seen in a telephoto lens.

Fantastic Wildlife Lens

very good lens

I had a Canon 600mm for ten years and switched to Sony. I bought the Sony 400 f/2.8 and its a great lens but I always wanted just a little more and the Sony 600mm ive me that!!!

Its sharp at 1200mm

Super lightweight and super sharp! Love it.
