With G series quality, the FE 400-800mm combines all of the features that make  so popular, such as high image quality, a versatile zoom range, and a fast, quiet autofocus motor.

For users who need even greater reach than 800mm for very distant or small subjects, the 400-800mm f/6.3-8 G OSS lens is compatible with teleconverters, which extends reach to a maximum of 1120mm with the  and 1600mm with the . This is ideal for capturing distant sports like skiing and surfing, as well as motorsports and aviation photography, while also allowing for compression and distant details to be captured in landscape photography.

Despite its huge focal range, the lens maintains tenacious tracking for high-speed stills and video, with support for 120fps stills when shooting with incredibly fast cameras like , and 240fps for video. A focus range limiter at 8m helps to speed up subject acquisition, while at the other end, the lens delivers excellent close-up results with a maximum magnification of 0.23x and an impressive minimum focus distance of 1.7m at the wide end.

Another key advantage for super-telephoto subjects is the lens’s handling. The overall length remains the same when zooming and focusing, making it easier to pan and track fast-moving subjects with less fatigue. The zoom mechanism also requires only a short rotation, with a light torque for quick adjustments when framing, and it includes Optical Stead Shot (OSS) for more stable handheld shooting.
