600 Sony FE 600mm F6.3 GM OSS
The Sony FE 600mm F6.3 GM OSS is a prime lens for Sony E-mount (Full frame) that covers 600 mm at f/6.3, weighs 995 g and focuses as close as 2.5 m. Lightest (995 g) and dimmest (f/6.3) of the 3 full frame Sony E-mount prime lenses in its focal range. Among them, it suits you if you carry it all day or travel light, you want more reach at the long end, or you want to focus closer at the wide end. If you shoot in low light or want a blurrier background, every other one that does better on brightness gives up weight. If you want a wider view at the short end, every other one that does better on width gives up weight and reach.

Specifications

- Sony Japan lens specifications (sony.jp), checked Oct 6, 2026
Worked out by code, not stated by a source
- Focal length and widest aperture as the lens's own name states them.
- Read from the lens name: each maker marks the sensor size a lens covers (Sony FE/E, Canon RF/RF-S, Nikon DX, Tamron Di III/Di III-A, Sigma DG/DC); every Fujifilm X lens is APS-C and every Micro Four Thirds lens is Four Thirds.
- Prime or zoom, read from the focal length in the lens name.
Each value is checked automatically against the source it links, on the date shown. How we build these pages
† The makers' own tables, row by row, with labels in our plain words (translated where the maker's page isn't in English); each row's numbers are checked against the page it links.

- Lead for a pick1
Our pick or our take adds up the importance of each real difference, with these importances and thresholds: a gap smaller than its row's threshold is too close to call and counts as the same. They are our editorial choice, not a measurement, the same on every page, and they never read prices, sales or who sells it.
