Highlighted: this lens on the a6400, beside the E 70-350mm F4.5-6.3 G OSS and the 150-500mm F/5-6.7 Di III VC VXD, from the same spot. A zoom's dashed frame is its longest view.

From 3 m back it takes in a scene about 0.7 m wide at 100 mm and 0.2 m wide at 400 mm on the a6400.

At its highest magnification, 0.41x, a subject about 5.7 cm wide fills the frame of the a6400. Sony gives the closest focus for each zoom setting, from 113 cm at 100 mm to 86 cm at 400 mm from the sensor.

Sony lists its 1.4x and 2x teleconverters (SEL14TC, SEL20TC) for this lens. With the 1.4x it becomes 140–560 mm at f/8–11 and frames like 210–840 mm on the a6400; with the 2x, 200–800 mm at f/11–16, like 300–1,200 mm.
