Product Reviews

Words don't do this lens enough justice. But "Best Lens Ever" is pretty close. It does everything as advertised and takes excellent photos. I am very happy with my purchase.

I have just come back from tiger safari, when I used the Sony A1 with the 400mm f2.8, very light and a perfect choice

I was extremely pleased with the IQ of the Sony Primes vs the zooms lens. They are very expensive but less than Nikon. If you can justify the cost you will see a noticeable difference in IQ from the primes.

Just love it! The brightness of this lens is just amazing at F2.8mm. Most ideal and needed for nature photography. At 400mm it is also just nice.

I love every about the Len Except for the lens hood. It would be a lot better if it was like the Minolta 600 lines that I had at one time, the Lions hood slid back it did not come off the lens I really like that all you had to do was slide it back and twist it and lock it on and then put the lens cover on.

A first-class lens that works extremely well with the Sony 1.4 Teleconverter and hopefully it will work just as well with the 2x converter when it is delivered.

I've been using this lens for a couple of weeks now. The images are sharper than anything I've ever taken before.

This lens will absolutely change and help my photography in every way The speed of focusing The quality of the pictures Stunning

Very light lens thats easy to handhold, It has super fast AF and produces stunning images I really love using this lens for bird and wildlife.

Simply the best 400mm 2.8 I ever had. Moved from Nikon to sony after 40 plus years.

Bought this recently and have been very impressed with build, quality of images and how light it is. Easy for transporting and with the 1.4 converter, turns it into a 560mm F4. I ave the A9 so with the crop button, the selection of lengths and DoF I have is very impressive,

Great lens for low lighting!! My pictures have not been achievable in this better quality, especially so with teleconverter use, am really glad that I made this decision.

Being a wildlife and bird photographer, this lens is amazing. Tack sharp with the 2X teleconverter. Mostly use it on the 7RIII with sharp and fast focus. The lens takes Sony to another standard. I am waiting for the 600 to be a available since sometimes I need a little more reach.

Had this lens for a couple of weeks, shooting polo matches professionaly. Coupled with and A9 its incredibly fast and very sharp.

I hesitated a lot before buying this lens, regarding the price and usability, often saw the whole reviews related the lens. but once I’ve review results, I didn’t felt that I go wrong by this choice, it’s amazing, light, incredible fast, never missed the focus, so sharp edge to edge, really worth it 12 k

I bought the 400mm lens for the sole purpose of shooting local sports, and I have been very pleased with the results in combination with my 24mm GM and 70-200 GM. To top that off, I just placed a deposit for the 600mm and can't wait to receive it!

Amazing lens with VERY fast auto focus and excellent contrast. Works well with1X and 2X teleconverters! It really make a difference in my work.

Always wanted to invest in a PRO lens for my wildlife photography, and made the decision last month to go for this model. Not only is the quality of the built and quality of the photo extraordinary, I also love the fact I can carry this lens handheld for faster go to action scenes, as well as put it on tripod. And this wht 2x teleconverter, that extra reach and still mainting full control of the lens makes a big difference, still at f/5.6 Very hapy with it :-)

The auto focus paired with the A9 is "second to none". Best decision I've ever made was getting this lens.

An expensive lens but the quality justifies the price

Bought this lens for action on wildlife and bird. Using A6300 for test shot as waiting for new a9 ii. Colour, bokeh and sharpness is super!

I've owned a few big tele's ... This is by far the best, quick, accurate, super sharp and easy to hand hold - way, way better than anything I've ever used before !!!

Took this lens on safari in Sabi Sands, South Africa and it loved up to all of my expectations. Light, fast, sharp.

Received my lens 2 weeks ago after waiting 6 months. Lens is amazing. Light, quick focus and the sharpness in incredible.
