First look: Sony 400mm F2. 8 G Master OSS It exists! Well, under glass, anyway. Sony's previously announced 400mm F2. 8 G Master OSS is here at CP+ 2018 in Yokohama, Japan, and boy, is it big.
Really big. But as you can see from the lack of labeling on all those switches, this is still a prototype.

Now that's a front element. You won't be able to screw any filters into the front of this lens, and curiously, unlike other super telephoto primes, it seems that while the Sony 400mm F2. 8 will accommodate small drop-in filters in a tray near the lens mount, they're 'dropped-in' sideways (see the first image in this slideshow).

Although you're not likely to see many people using this without a monopod, the inclusion of optical image stabilization will still make it easier to frame up your shot from the sidelines.

Want to know how much the Sony 400mm F2. 8 G Master costs, weighs, and how it performs? So do we, but we're not about to laser-cut our way through that glass case. It looks like we'll have to wait a little longer to get our hands on a production model, but we'll be sure to see if Sony can give us any additional details when during a scheduled interview later on in the show. Stay tuned!
