Please leave a comment below if you have any questions on these lens or have different go to lenses from SONY for capturing birds in the wild. I hope you learned a little more about what SONY lenses are ideal for capturing pictures of birds. Yea the winner was obviously the SONY 600mm won for capturing stunning bird photos. But it was just too expensive for me to justify buying. I tested the SONY 600mm prime against the SONY 200-600mm for capturing birds. But it’s just not practical for many of us. So like the SONY 400mm prime lens test. Perfect for capturing photos of birds the SONY 600 mm is a lens any of us would want in our camera bag. The grand daddy of lenses offered by SONY for bird photography is the Sony FE 600mm f/4 GM OSS Lens an awesome lens at an even more awesome price. Yes it works but it’s much more limited than the SONY 100-400 mm lens for capturing bird photos. Outside of the enormous cost difference the SONY 400mm prime lens was less a bird lens than a sporting lens. I was comparing SONY bird photography lenses specifically the 100-400 against the 400mm prime. The photos you’re looking at were all captured with this lens while I was out testing it. The Sony FE 400mm f/2.8 GM OSS Lens is simply a beautiful lens and one we’d all like in our camera bag. Now we’re stepping up to the serious bird photography lenses from SONY. As a photographer I see everything as a picture and the 85mm gives me a good focal length to capture other things around me while out capturing bird photos. And last not always am I shooting photos of birds while birding. Second the bokeh or blurred out background is buttery smooth. First the wide aperture is perfect in very low light situations. ![]() Well there are 3 main reasons I have the SONY 85 mm lens with me when I go out to shoot pictures of birds. The pictures you’re looking at cover these main reasons. So why am I showing the Sony FE 85mm f/1.8 prime Lens for bird photography. I still use it for bird photography just not as often as the SONY 100-400mm lens Sony FE 85mm f/1.8 Lens You think for bird photography this would be a go to lens but for me it’s not. Like the other lenses the bird photos you’re looking at were all taken with the SONY 200-600mm lens. In my mind this lens was made to take on the 3rd party lenses from Sigma and Tamron both on reach and price point.Īctually I traded in my Sigma 150-600mm SPORT lens I was using on my Canon cameras for this SONY birding lens. They dropped on the market the Sony FE 200-600mm f/5.6-6.3 G OSS Lens. These bird pictures and video are all shot with the Sony FE 100-400mm lens Sony FE 200-600mm f/5.6-6.3 G OSS LensĪround the time SONY came out with the SONY A7 RIV and SONY A9II. I get the reach needed for those distant bird shots and I have the resolution to punch in in post production. The Sony FE 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 GM OSS Lens is bolted to my SONY A7RIV camera. It’s ideal for walking around and snapping shots of birds that just happen to fly near you.īecause it’s a fast lens at f 2.8 it’s also perfect for capturing bird photos on overcast low light days. ![]() It’s a workhorse. I typically have this lens mounted to my SONY a7R II as a secondary setup. All camera manufactures have a 70-200mm f 2.8 for a reason. This a must have lens for just about any photography. The bird photos you’re looking at are all taken with the Sony FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS Lens. Well these are my go to bird photography lenses when shooting with my SONY A7 RIV and SONY A7RII Sony FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS Lens So what are the best SONY lenses for bird photography? Now they had the camera bodies and lenses for me to give it a real try. ![]() But what about the lenses? Well around the time SONY dropped on the market a number of lenses that were ideal for bird photography. Now I had a SONY camera capable of keeping up with the demands of bird photography. Then came along the SONY a7 R IV and everything changed for me. The camera bodys weren’t fast enough or functional for this high demand. The biggest reasons I stayed with CANON was that SONY didn’t have any real lenses for taking photos of birds. But SONY wasn’t ready to take on real bird photography or sports photography. Although it was limited in it’s function the images it produced were at the time fantastic. I’ve compiled a list of the best bird photography lenses I could find including the ones I use.Ī few years back I picked up a SONY A7 camera just to try it out. To now shooting almost 100% SONY cameras and lenses for my bird photography. Recently I’ve switched from shooting almost 100% Canon cameras and lenses
