Sony esittelee uuden erityispitkän kiinteän polttovälin 600mm F4 G Master™ -objektiivin

Sonyn pisimmälle ulottuva kiinteän polttovälin objektiivi on markkinoiden kevein kategoriassaan. Siinä on myös korkeatasoinen autofokus, korkea resoluutio ja kaunis pehmennys.

Sony julkisti tänään vakuuttavan uutuuden objektiiviensa G Master -mallistoon, uuden erityispitkän kiinteän polttovälin FE 600mm F4 GM OSS -objektiivin (mallinimi SEL600F40GM).

Uutuus on Sonyn pisimmälle ulottuva kiinteän polttovälin objektiivi, joka sisältää monia Sonyn pisimmälle kehitettyjä optisia ja mekaanisia teknologioita, joiden ansiosta sen tuottama kuvanlaatu on poikkeuksellinen tarkennusnopeudessaan sekä tarkkuudessaan. Uutuusobjektiivi on myös luokkansa kevein[i], painaen ainoastaan 3040 grammaa, ja se on muotoilultaan loppuun asti hiotun tasapainoinen, jotta valokuvauskokemus olisi paras mahdollinen.

Uusi 600mm objektiivi antaa yhdessä kiitellyn FE 400mm F2.8 GM OSS -objektiivin kanssa esimerkiksi urheilu-, luonto- sekä uutiskuvaajille uusia mahdollisuuksia vangita kohteensa myös kauempaa säilyttäen silti tarkkuuden, joka huomioi myös yksityiskohdat.

“Kahden tänään julkistetun uutuuden myötä kasvava E-mount-objektiivimallistomme sisältää nyt 33 kokokuvamallia ja yhteensä 51 mallia. G Master -lippulaivamallistomme uutuus, 600mm F4 nostaa riman korkealle etenkin nopeuden, käytettävyyden ja kontrollin osalta,” sanoo Sony Europen digitaalisen kuvantamisen tuotemarkkinoinnin johtaja Yann Salmon-Legagneur.
“Yhdistämällä 600 mm -objektiivin pitkä ulottuvuus esimerkiksi α9-kameran nopeuteen (20 framea sekunnissa sekä 60 AF/AE -laskelmaa sekunnissa) taiα7R III -kameran erityisen korkeaan resoluutioon ammattikuvaajat voivat nyt ottaa laadukkaampia kuvia kuin koskaan ennen.”

Pricing and Availability

The FE 600mm F4 GM OSS will ship in Europe in August 2019 priced at approximately 14.500 EUR

Fast, Precise and Quiet Autofocus[ii]

To take best advantage of the highly evolved autofocus systems of Sony’s latest full-frame E-mount cameras, the new FE 600mm F4 GM OSS lens features two XD (extreme dynamic) Linear Motors that drive the lens’ focus group to provide fast, precise AF and reliable subject tracking. These motors are supported by specially developed motion algorithms to minimise lag and instability, as well as to control noise levels, resulting in exceptionally quick, accurate and quiet autofocus performance, allowing the lens to capture dynamic, fast moving athletes or wildlife with ease.

Superb G Master Image Quality and Bokeh

As a member of Sony’s flagship G Master series lenses, this new large aperture super-telephoto prime lens features an incredible level of image quality and detail, with outstanding contrast and resolution maintained all the way to the corners of the image. The unique optical design includes a large XA (extreme aspherical) and an ED (extra-low dispersion) element that effectively suppress all common telephoto lens aberrations, plus three fluorite elements that help to minimise chromatic aberration and suppress any amount of colour bleeding. Sony's latest bokeh simulation technologies and XA element is are also utilised to control spherical aberration and help achieve exquisite bokeh.

The lens also features an 11-blade circular aperture mechanism that contributes to the high quality of bokeh in images, and has been coated with Sony’s original Nano AR coating to suppress any unwanted reflections, glare, or ghosting in images.

The new FE 600mm F4 GM OSS is compatible with Sony’s 1.4x and 2.0x E-mount tele-converters, producing outstanding imaging performance at extended focal lengths[iii] while maintaining fast, precise AF performance.

Lightweight, Balanced Design

Weighing in at only approx. 3040g, the new super-telephoto prime lens is the lightest in its classⁱ, providing a level of portability and manoeuvrability that has never been achieved before in a lens of its style. Based on technology from the acclaimed FE 400mm F2.8 GM OSS lens, the lightweight design of the new 600mm lens is achieved through the usage of three fluorite elements, with a reduced number of elements deployed at the front of the barrel. Magnesium alloy is also used throughout the lens to help minimise weight and bulk.

Also inherited from FE 400mm F2.8 GM OSS, the new 600mm lens features a lens design that is not front-heavy, reducing moment of inertia that resists rotation, ensuring quicker, more precise panning when shooting handheld or on a monopod.

Durability, Reliability and Control

To withstand the harsh conditions of sporting events and wildlife photography, Sony’s new FE 600mm F4 GM OSS is built with a durable magnesium alloy and a strong, lightweight carbon fibre hood. The lens is also dust and moisture resistant[iv], and its front element is coated with fluorine to resist dirt and fingerprints.

There is also an ample number of hard controls on the lens, including customisable focus-hold buttons in four different locations on the lens barrel, which can be programmed for control of features, if desired. There is also a ‘Full-Time DMF’ switch to immediately engage manual focus at any point, and a focus ring that features Linear Response MF for fine, responsive manual focus.

Additionally, the new lens includes built-in optical stabilisation for dynamic action and three different ‘Mode’ settings, including a Mode 3[v] setting with an advanced algorithm that ensures easier framing when following moving subjects.It also features a function ring with selectable ‘Preset’ and ‘Function’ settings, and a drop-in filter slot that accepts ø 40.5mm ND and other filter types, as well as the optional VF-DCPL1 Drop-in Circular Polarising Filter.The VF-DCPL1 filter can be rotated to achieve the desired polarisation while installed in the lens.
