Reviewer score 84% (normalized by Neofiliac)The Sony FE 400mm f2.8 G Master OSS is a super-telephoto lens designed for full-frame Alpha mirrorless cameras. Launched in June 2018 but teased for several months previously, it’s the first bright aperture super- telephoto for Sony's native mirrorless mount. The lens may be roughly the same size as rival lenses from Canon and Nikon but at 2895g / 6.4lbs, weighs-in almost one kilogram or two pounds lighter. This difference becomes even greater when you fit their respective pro bodies.
Pros
- Super-telephoto for Sony’s full-frame Alpha mirrorless system
- Very sharp details in out-of-focus areas
- Very fast autofocus
Cons
- Not compatible with other bodies

Pros
- Sharp AF results at 1/8-second
- Long focal length
- Teleconverter support
Cons
- Slower aperture zooms than macro lenses

Reviewer score 65% (normalized by Neofiliac)Build quality is outstanding. The lens is relatively lightweight (the lightest of the 400mm f2.8) and can be used for 30min-1 hour max handled. If you want precise framing you better use a monopod or a Tripod and a gimbal that will be specially appropriate for video or when used with the TC2.0.
Pros
- Very well made, large and confortable, don't use a camera strap but well the lens strap
- Security slot in collar to attach a security wire against theft
- Very large : 173mm Weight : 243g Carbon fiber Interior flocking
- Very nice light hard case (with key)
Cons
- No rigid lens cap but a leather lens cap
- Lens hood may have a crack next to the lens hood
- No traditional filter possible
