Weighing just 2,895g, this is the lightest 400mm f/2.8 full-frame lens in its class, using three fluorite elements and a magnesium alloy build to achieve that portability without sacrificing durability. Its XD Linear Motors deliver fast, accurate autofocus, while the 11-blade aperture and Nano AR Coating produce sharp images with smooth bokeh and minimal flare. This lens is best for sports and wildlife photographers who need to pan quickly and shoot handheld in low-light conditions.

Why we recommend this

Delivering a classic widescreen look, this 50mm T2.1 anamorphic lens produces natural horizontal flares and signature oval bokeh on full-frame Sony E-mount cameras. Its ultralightweight, weather-sealed build and selectable autofocus make it practical for fast-paced gimbal and drone work where manual cine lenses are cumbersome. This lens is best for solo video shooters and cinematographers needing an affordable, compact anamorphic option for run-and-gun projects.
