50-400mm E-Mount Ultra-Telephoto Zoom

This Sony E-mount lens covers a 50-400mm focal range with an f/4.5-6.3 aperture. It suits photographers who want a single optic for landscapes, wildlife, sports and portraits. The 8x zoom ratio starts at standard wide-angle and reaches deep telephoto in a compact 7.2 inch barrel. Close focus at 9.8 inches delivers 1:2 magnification for macro-style detail.

VXD Linear AF and VC Stabilisation

The VXD linear motor drives fast, quiet and precise autofocus during stills and video capture. Vibration Compensation reduces camera shake at long focal lengths and slower shutter speeds. A focus limiter and zoom lock switch help maintain performance when tracking moving subjects or carrying the lens. Moisture-resistant construction adds reliability in damp conditions.

67mm Filter Thread and Accessory Kit

The lens accepts 67mm filters and includes a UV filter, tulip hood, blower, cleaning pen, microfibre cloth and starter cleaning kit. The bundled accessories protect the front element and simplify daily maintenance. The rapid zoom ring and lock switch improve handling when switching between focal lengths. Photographers needing wider apertures or different mount systems should consider other options.

Questions about this item

How do I attach the 67mm UV filter and tulip hood to this lens, and what step do people miss?

Screw the 67mm UV filter onto the front threads first, then bayonet the tulip hood over the filter; the step people miss is aligning the hood's index mark with the lens dot before twisting to lock.

What maintenance will the VXD focus motor and VC stabilisation need over time?

The VXD linear motor and VC unit are sealed and require no routine servicing; only the front 67mm filter and external glass need periodic cleaning with the included cloth and pen.

At what focal length does the f/6.3 maximum aperture limit low-light shooting first?

The aperture narrows to f/6.3 at the 400mm end, so that is the focal length where the slowest maximum aperture appears and low-light capability is most restricted.
