Sony just announced its longest zoom lens yet—the FE 400-800mm f/6.3-8 G OSS for full-frame mirrorless cameras. At first glance, it looks a lot like the 200-600mm, with a similar design and controls. It’s a little longer, thicker, and about 360g heavier, but the layout remains familiar—three focus hold buttons, a focus limiter, Optical SteadyShot (OSS), and a new DMF toggle switch.

Inside, Sony has packed 27 elements in 19 groups, including six extra-low dispersion (ED) elements to keep chromatic aberrations in check. Autofocus gets a big upgrade, with dual linear motors for faster, quieter focusing. It’s built to handle high-speed shooting, keeping up with the Sony a9 III’s crazy 120 fps burst mode.

The minimum focusing distance is 1.7m at 400mm and 3m at 800mm, with a max magnification of 0.23x. It’s set to launch mid-March for $2,899.99 in the U.S. and $4,099.99 in Canada.
