Product Overview
Sony FE 200-600mm F5.6-6.3 G OSS is a super telephoto zoom lens for Sony E-mount. It covers the full-frame image circle. Introduced by Sony in 2019, it has 17 elements in 24 groups.
Photographers will be pleased by the fact that the lens is internally-zooming, meaning that the barrel does not extend when the focal length is changed. This helps balance and weather sealing; it is also great for long-term durability, as there is less chance for moisture and dirt to get in. For incremental weathers, Sony is kind enough to include weather sealing.
As a super telephoto zoom lens, the Sony FE 200-600mm F5.6-6.3 G OSS can be quite useful for wild-life and landscape photography. Built-in image stabilization is almost a must-have at this focal range, and this lens does not disappoint on this front. Owners will also like the available tripod collar and compatibility with teleconverters.

Reviewer score 87% (normalized by Neofiliac)Weighing 1395g, it’s also considerably lighter than the 200-600mm which weighs-in at 2115g. The combination of internal zooming coupled with a short twist of around 70 degrees between 200 and 600mm allows you to quickly and easily adjust the focal length while shooting. The zoom action feels very smooth too, and I found I could effectively go through the whole range with just a light twist between my thumb and finger.
Pros
- Lightweight and compact
- Long range with short angular throw
- Competitive price
Cons
- Smaller and heavier than 100-400mm

Reviewer score 80% (normalized by Neofiliac)The FE 200-600mm focuses quickly and accurately. It can be paired with Sony's 1.4x or 2.0x teleconverters to extend its reach. There's no vignette of which to speak, but there is a bit of pincushion distortion.
Pros
- Excellent autofocus performance
- Excellent build quality
- Dust and splash protection
Cons
- Pincushion distortion

Reviewer score 72% (normalized by Neofiliac)Sony FE 200-600 F5.6-6.3 G OSS and FE 100-400 GM + TC1.4 (comparison) Lens has a fixed length which is a huge plus in term of handling & carrying the lens compared to Sigma/Tamron alternatives. Lens is part of the G series and not the GM, this helps to keep the cost contained at 2100 euros.
Pros
- Very big, the biggest zoom in e-mount
- Very easy to focus even with one finger, there is enough fluidity in the zooming ring without being loose at all
- Very long focusing distance: 240cm (quite long unfortunately)
- Removable tripod collar but without 90°...
Cons
- The lens does not extend at all: it has a fixed length (it has a non removable tripod collar
- It requires only a 70° rotation to zoom from 200mm to 600mm
- No polarising filter window
