Sony FE 400-800mm G in 2024, February

[Ziutek-Auto-Photos]

From many websites (including SAR, F.M. , etc.) there are rumors that new long tele is coming soon. It might have its debut next month

Sony FE 400-800mm G is answer for Canon's 700s and 800s. It is said it will have 200-600 G like build and made very light as for such long tele.

Oh great a lightweight super telephoto. I hope its f11 wide open so i dont want it.

When 200-600G weighs ~2 kg, I think this new tele will be ~2.5-2.8 kg (and this light for 800mm). They talk about F6.3-8 => too good to be true?

Me saying f11 is just because i picked up the 200-600 but its not an issue as i wont be buying new expensive lenses.

I think sony might pull some magic on this one though. I think the 200-600 biggest issue is the weight so i think they will indeed go lightweight which means slower aperture but if it is 6.3 to f8 then i think it will probably hit f8 at say 500mm. It also wont be an internal zoom otherwise would be bigger than 200-600 and then maybe heavier. Not sure if i want a huge extending zoom or a short end at 400mm but who knows.

I recently visited Krakow and really enjoyed the people and the country.

This are rumors and we can only speculate, but February is very soon, so not huge problem. I think they want to have just similar design (don't know if it is possible to make 800mm IF lens) to 200-600G.

I am from Warsaw, but Cracow is also very nice place to visit or live.
