FE 100-400mm F5.6-8 OSS overview
The Sony FE 100-400mm F5.6-8 OSS is a 100–400mm f/5.6–8 zoom for full-frame cameras on Sony E-mount, announced by Sony in August 2026. 39 cameras we track take it without an adapter.
Going by its spec sheet, it suits wildlife and sport as well as travel. It is a weaker pick for low light without a tripod.
New, it sells for $848 to $849.99 at the 6 stores we track in the United States that have it in stock. It launched at $849.99.
Worth comparing it with the Tamron 150-500mm F/5-6.7 Di III VC VXD, Tamron 70-300mm F/4.5-6.3 Di III RXD and Tamron 50-400mm F/4.5-6.3 Di III VC VXD.
