Though designed for Sony's full frame E-mount cameras, the lens can be used on Sony's APS-C E-mount camera bodies, with an equivalent full-frame field-of-view of 150-600mm.

The lens showcases an off-white weather resistant plastic and metal exterior with a rubber focus and zoom ring.

It also features three external focus-hold buttons for locking in focus on a subject in motion.

The lens does not maintain its physical length throughout its zoom range.

When equipped, the combination yields an effective focal length of 140-560mm and 200-800mm, respectively.
