Reach and versatility for L-Mount shooters

This ultra-telephoto zoom covers 100-500mm on L-Mount mirrorless bodies, making it practical for wildlife, motorsports and distant landscape work. Photographers who need a single lens for both mid-range and extreme reach will find the range useful without swapping glass in the field.

Weather-sealed construction

A dust- and splash-resistant barrel protects the optics during outdoor sessions, while a minimum focus distance of .8m at the wide end and .36x maximum magnification at 500mm let you capture nearby details such as flowers or insects. The focus ring switches quickly between auto and manual operation for precise control.

Extends to 700mm or 1000mm with optional converters

Compatible 1.4x and 2.0x teleconverters push the focal length to 700mm and 1000mm respectively, preserving resolution across the frame. This suits photographers who occasionally need more reach but do not want to carry a dedicated super-telephoto prime. Buyers who require faster apertures for low-light action or a constant aperture through the zoom range should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

What does the L-Mount interface mean for maximum focal length?

The L-Mount interface supports the native 100-500mm zoom range and extends to 700mm with the 1.4x teleconverter or 1000mm with the 2.0x teleconverter, both sold separately.

What mounting clearance does this lens need?

The lens is designed for L-Mount mirrorless cameras and features a weather-sealed barrel; ensure the camera body's mount flange is clean before attaching.

How do I install the lens and what step is often missed?

Align the lens mount index with the camera body index, rotate until it clicks, then set the focus mode switch to AF or MF as needed; the step often missed is removing both front and rear caps before powering on.
